So stopping the Axis powers was about mere “desire”? Not like they declared war on us or anything, is it? or that they represented the worst aspects of leftism aka idolatry?
Bad enough we had leftists ruling us during WWII that knew the only way to keep power was to go to war in response to having war declared on us rather than surrender as they wanted to do. But after the war ended, they created the United Nations with a charter based on Stalin’s USSR constitution and the fix was in (or so they hoped) . . .
I stated in the next comment we got in after they attacked us. So this makes it different.
We did not get in to help them, it took an attack on us. So technically we went to war to defend ourselves.
However, by doing so we did help all others, all of which eventually turned on us.
