I'm net negative on U.S. global meddling, just because it has a track record by now of rarely working. But it wasn't an insane proposition given what happened in the 1940s, given the Cold War. You pay with lives up front to save lives later, e.g. what happened in the World Wars. "5-15 marines a day"—gimme a break kid. WW2 was 30,000 deaths a day for five years.
Where's the lie
Make America great again
What? Invasion of Poland is '39. It's 6 if you're counting early stages when nothing happened. I said 5 because invasion of Paris is mid-1940.4 years
Make America math again
This post is triggering me, but only because of your insistence on calling London "Londy".That's a great gag. UK baby wa-wa'd for ma-ma while Heinkels burned Londy to the ground. I gotta use it more.

"Spendy" is hardly much better than "Gus", though, is it?he wants people in londy to stop calling him gus

That would've been the best course of action if Britain and France handled their shit. Unfortunately, not a single Allied European country managed to make much of a dent, so of course we had to step in before it was "Nazi Europe" vs the worldDec 7th 1941 (ie January 1942) start of direct US military force - one of those factoids, easily dismissed
If you hadn’t got involved, all of these cognitively superior Euro nations would’ve been left to fight amongst themselves and you could’ve hoovered the mess up by tagging some loans in on the deal too

Pah. Real men fight (and win) a land war in Asia.Come on buddy, America is impregnable. Atlantic on the right. Pacific on the left. 3,000 miles of farmland in between. Every ship in the world could load up every military-aged male and they wouldn't even establish a beach-head on North American soil. At worst, we were looking at a tri-polar power situation. And boy, would people love the ol' USA if Nazi Europe and Soviet Asia were our alternatives.
