Yeah, I feel bad for the young men forced into the trenches.

We learned from WWII that appeasement doesn't work, and that democracies need to stand together to defend our freedom.

We also learned in ww2 that most countries are not thankful for us helping them in their wars. We have a large ocean between us and everyone else. I’m fine letting Europe solve European problems.

WWII propelled the US to it's current position as the only real superpower. The US benefited tremendously in some critical ways.

Also, the bigger of the oceans between the countries didn't stop Japan from destroying a huge portion of the US Navy. If they weren't proactive in responding, it could have been much, much worse. Japan could have solidified it's initial gains and used the territory and resources to grow even stronger, and the Nazis weren't far from having the bomb.

Isolationism is a nice ideal in some ways, but it's not viable anymore.

The Nazis were far from having the bomb. They talk about this in Oppenheimer.

If they only had to focus on the Easter front they would have had more resources and way more time. If the US sat on its hands it would only be a matter of time until they faced a much stronger Germany armed with nukes.

Well maybe the bunny is why they lost the Easter front?

Germany would have take. 10-20 years to have developed the bomb.

And then they would have nuked the US in the 60s 👍🏼

If you’re curious what their plane was. It was th America bomber and the v4. Their plan was to bomb us to submission.
