Say what you want about FDR. But he put together a coalition that destroyed both Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany in just 3 1/2 years.
It is now 15 years after 9/11. Not only have we not destroyed radical Islam, it can be argued that we are not even winning. That is on both Bush and on Obama.
That’s because Churchill was ready to go before FDR. So it wasn’t FDR who put it together. Churchill didn’t call WWII the “unnecessary war” for nothing.
FDR sure did win a war, the last war this country won.
But his end game was the creation of a ‘world order’.
Once that ‘world order’ was created as in the UN for example, the United States has been policing the ‘world order’ and not winning its wars.
Donald Trump has made some allusions to America not winning its wars citing Patton and MacArthur.
