      That’s really not accurate. Prior to Pearl Harbor we were 1) helping extensively to re-arm Britain in their fight against Germany, 2) fighting an undeclared but active war against German U-boats in the Atlantic, and 3) placing an economic embargo on Japan in response to their ongoing invasion of China - the very act that precipitated the Pearl Harbor attack.

      So you are saying the U.S. should enter more wars? I thought the majority have been saying we need to stay the fuck out of every war until Ukraine got invaded.

            No, but you sound like an asshole who added nothing to the conversation as well.

            Have fun promoting mass murder. Because trying to tell the U.S. they don’t/didn’t join wars fast enough only promotes them too. The murder of innocent Americans and all parties you sick their military on.

            You dropped this. Don’t hide your shitty attitude or inability to defend your ideas with reason.

              What part of “You are just full of disingenous strawmen today, aren’t you?” Shows ability to defend ideas?

              I deleted my comment because I figured arguing with someone online about it wasn’t worth it. I wasnt sober when posted the first comment, but my point still stands on the second comment. They are essentially war mongering. And your idea was to what, create further argument or disruption between people when someone chose to drop it?
