I am as anti Bush interventionism as anyone but do you remember what the world was like prior to the U.S. being the world's dominant military? In case you don't I'll fill you in. You'd be spreckining the deutch if they decided not to kill you. That or we'd be talking about the rape of Vancouver by the Empire of Japan. US military deterrent has been a safety net for the free world. A foreigner who's benefitted from that is not one who should be dogging it.
So I should keep my mouth shut for at least a century after you guys eventually decided to join a war against fascist dictatorships? What is the accepted stfu period after someone else fights in a war that my grandparents all fought in as well?
American involvement definitely tipped the balance, but there is no way to know what would have happened without it.
I don't think the US had a cult of militarism in 1939, which is probably why you didn't get involved for the first few years (while my grandparents were already fighting...). Now you do, and it's a different thing (being 70 years later and all). Do you really think that some shit that happened 70 years ago makes any current shit OK?
How about we go back just in our own lifetimes? Not a lot of great examples of US military intervention in the last 40 years. I suppose the invasion of Grenada made for a decent Clint Eastwood movie.
Honestly, if you want to glorify your military, spend zillions and strut around a bit I don't much care - we all have our hobbies. But I do care when you get a stupendous preening ego like Trump, who talks a big talk and makes a big show of how tough he is, anywhere near the controls of the most powerful military in human history. There is not a good precedent for large militaries answering to cults of personality. Typically they have a wildly overoptimistic idea of how effectively they can invade or make war, get overextended and then fall to pieces, but only after inflicting millions of deaths.
Hell, the most powerful military in human history couldn't really effectively conquer and pacify one country that had a fairly large percentage of people who didn't want to be conquered. Lots of people died though, and continue to die...
You have a massive military with an unexpected single point of failure, which is the presidency being won by a fascist. So the fact that the US fought the Nazis alongside the rest of us doesn't mean I can't express concern for where you are all headed now.
