RE: Not the “government”... the FDR perpetual machine politics, and all of his pals. He had to force the Rockefellers/Standard Oil to stop selling crucial additives to the Nazis- one small hugely important detail.
And what’s wrong with that?
Sanctions against the Nazis? Heck, we’re doing the same thing today under Trump with North Korea and Iran.
I hope you’re not saying that we should have CONTINUED to allow Standard Oil to sell crucial additives to the Nazis.
You miss the point entirely. FDR was a german socialist in intent and direction. He had to be FORCED to stop his supporters, Standard/Mobil and a whole lot else from doing business with the Nazis. HE had to be forced. Get it?
There was nothing wrong with stopping the Rockefellers enabling the Nazis, as well as stopping FORD, and many others doing the same. The information on FORD alone is appalling (and WE paid for it, the a@@hole was building trucks for the nazis, his plants were bombed, and he got millions for the damage out of the US). The point is the FDR had to be forced.
You want to see some other inside damning evidence-read: “In the Garden of the Beasts”.. Erik Larson. re: FDR’s first appointed ambassador to Germany. The state dept filled with button down nazi loving anti-semites with “impressive” names, from the financial US elite. Glad to profit off war. To be sure they were not in favor of jews profiting off war. People like Soros of today.
Were it not for Churchill, the Royal German Battenburgs would have been glad to have given over to Hitler, and they like the Theissens, Krupps and the Ruhr valley war machine thought Hitler could be managed/appeased—to the point they would have made a deal (and it was Edward maneuvered to being a Reich’s Chancellor of the UK).
It took Churchill to massage FDR into doing what his elite socialist/german pacifying supporters would not do- go to war against germany. Japan was easy way to do it (”those little yellow deceitful”..etc). The AntiFA come to mind as they falsely claim anti-fascism when they are, in fact, the brownshirts of the DNC Leftist fascists (there being such a thing)- street apparat of Brennan imho.
