That’s not what happened. We had war declared on us, in spite of the efforts of left-leaning leaders in DC (in both cases) to stay out of it. And now thanks to the cumulative efforts of their ideological descendants in DC, Germany thinks they can push the USA around again. Ignoring them a third time could be fatal.
I don't understand. What didn't happen? We were giving aid to England long before war was declared on us. I remember when W was Pres. and France was acting up and Powell went to them and said that all we wanted was some ground to bury our dead.
Plus there was the Marshall plan the cost billions to rebuild Europe. Some has been repaid and some hasn't.
Don't forget the Berlin airlift to keep Berlin from starving after the Soviets blocked all land entries.
Just saying.
How? There is hardly the complement of German "alpha males" that there was in the Nazi era, since a great deal of them were killed off in WWII, and if we had a sane immigration policy, the Moslems over there could be prevented from coming over here. So a partial danger, but not necessarily fatal.
And by the way do we still have US troops in Germany?
