USA mass slaughtered its own citizens in WW2. via an illegal draft at that. And all that achieved is propping up stalin and mao.
This is such a shit argument. The US tried isolationism until it's leaders decided to manipulate it into a war anyway.
And yes Hitler taking over those nations wasn't America's problem, by the way if we did nothing the Nazis and the Commies would have probably both collapsed after killing each other.
As a general rule, forced conscription should be considered a form of slavery and therefore a crime against humanity. If a nation can't voluntarily motivate enough of its own citizens to serve as soldiers, it deserves to lose.Look, I support Ukraine and all, but let's not start historical revisionism while defending it and aid going to it; US isolationism didn't cause WW2 nor were isolationist feelings unwarranted at the time.
Woodrow Wilson's fuckery at Versailles sowed the seeds that sprouted into WW2, between the way the German's were utterly fucked out of proportion to their 'guilt' in the war, while Wilson stiffed the Japanese for their help.
We had no bloody idea how bad or horrible the actions of the Germans and Japanese truly were till WW2 was already well underway, so the public didn't know the horrors that were happening in occupied areas the way we can see things in minutes or hours now, and the idea of the US having to 'uphold the world order' didn't exist back then.
We can support Ukraine without trying to rewrite the past.
Which unfortunately does nothing about the problem of Stephen Wertheim and Elizabeth D. Samet having been right and decades of propagandized triumphalist media in place of actual history education having created hordes of brainwashed morons with no understanding of consequences which psychotic neocons are using as a voting bloc to support even more wealth transfer from the taxpayers to their military-industry complex masters, despite this having already killed nearly a million people throughout the third world and being on track to kill everyone if they actually get the war with Russia they want.
