Friedman said Smoot-Hawley did no damage to our economy? Where?
Milton Friedman is on record that Smoot-Hawley harmed our economy. I don't see why people can't grasp the simple fact that something can be a harm without being a cause.

Sure, but at the same time, German weapons and tactics were still allowed a forum in which to experiment and further perfect. Who’s to say antyhing that was learned in Spain was or was not critical to the German war machine’s success that ravaged Western Europe?

It’s impossible to say how the future would have turned out had there been (not necessarily) US intervention in Spain (but ANY intervention including German).

One need not institue communism or any of the others to combat fascism.
