You like monarchies? Is that House of Hanover, Romanov or Hohenzollern? Deutscland uber alles? or Rule Brittania? Historic revisionist? Good Lord, many if not most Americans have questioned the wisdom of our role in WW1 beginning in 1919.
I've noticed some people will apologize for all sorts of things as long as it allows them to frame American actions as interventionist. It only means they see meddling where there actually is defense, not that they have an ulterior motive.
Yes, because we know that England never had a king or queen. Wilson was the first interventionist. There was also the beginnings of the fall of the USA laid down during his term.
