The Constitutional Republic has been under attack since the Bull Moose party.
Britain was at war with Germany, they warned that ships carrying weapons would be fair game for attack. BTW, the Lusitania was carrying military supplies to use against Germany.
Germany on our Southern border? Give me a break, they would have been overstretched, and we would have had reason to sink their ships, and enter the war. They DID NOT want the US involved in the war, and went out of their way to prevent it. OUR President decided to sneak in military supplies to a combatant in a war. That is de facto a military target. Germany actually put ads in the NY Times, warning people not to travel on this ship, as it was being used to supply Britain in the war. IOW, we were not neutral, we upset the balance of power in Europe. Germany was treated like a one legged dog by Brits and France, and their people took matters into their own hands. They elected or supported someone who decided not to take it laying down.
Thanks for posting, little jeremiah.
LTG Flynn's essay is an outstanding summary of International Conservative Leadership versus the International Political Left.
Not exactly our first and second choice.
Stalin [Russia] occupied and enslaved three independent Baltic Sea countries, a chunk of Finland, and all of eastern Poland - BEFORE WW2 even started.
After WW2 - our ally Russia [USSR] occupied and enslaved all of Eastern Europe, with Truman's [USA] permission.
And, China?
The Japanese occupied northeast China, all of Korea, and Shanghai - BEFORE WW2 even started. Japan occupied Hong Kong, just weeks after WW2 started.
But it just goes to show, getting rid of one baddie, always leads to the rise of a new one.
