"So what we have at this moment in time:

The French are fighting the British.
The Italians are beating the British in their African colonies.
The French are fighting the Japanese.
The Russians are allied with the Germans.

"It you approached someone with only a common knowledge of World War II history he would tell you that you didn’t know a thing about the Second World War."

Amazing! I hadn't realized it.

So if you think about it, can there be any wonder that the vast majority of Americans still wanted to stay-the-h*ll out of that fight?

It certainly would make one wary. From the current perspective it doesn't look like Britain has much of a chance. If nothing else they are going to get starved and bombed out if the Germans don't land troops. Now with Japan throwing in with them it almost looks as if the world is against Britain and we will be the last island of democracy.
