Fun fact! FDR deliberately antagonized the shit out of both Germany and Japan to goad them into attacking. It worked!

It was a war that we should have stayed out of. BUT our banks had made loans to France and the rest of Europe, and Germany had no intention of paying those back. So we "had" to go to war to rescue our banks' investments.

All wars are bankers' wars.

America first. If we don't take care of our own people and make war all over the planet, what the hell are we doing?
