- Comment on Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says 11 hours ago:
It’s plenty articulate but wrong on both accounts. It’s hypocrisy to criticize (wrongly in OPs case) the US for not involving themselves fast enough in one breath and then criticize the US for being “world police” in the next.
Especially considering what the landscape might have looked like had the US remained on its isolationist track and not joined the war.
As for articulating why, with what they knew in 1939, the US should have declared war; you typed a lot but failed at the task. You say fascism like it carried the weight in 1939 that it does today. Fascism rose to prominence in early-20th-century Europe. Hmm, wonder who that was.
Swing and a miss!

More false information. Let’s see who entered WWII at, or after December, 1941.
- Phillipines
- China
- Guatemala
- Haiti
- Dominican Republic
- Honduras
- Cuba
- El Salvador
- Costo Rica
- Brazil
- Bolivia
- Mexico
Sure looks like most of the western hemisphere didn’t join until after the war came to their part of the world.
I wonder who remained neutral?
- Turkey
- Spain
- Afghanistan
- Argentina
- Yemen
- Saudi Arabia
- Sweden
- Portugal
- Switzerlamd
- Ireland
- Uriguay
- Lithuania
- Latvia
- Estonia
- Bhutan
- Iceland
- Andorra
- Liechtenstein
- Monaco
- San Marino
- Vatican City
Any other lies you’d like to tell?

I didn’t think you could.

Can you articulate why, with what they knew in 1939, the US should have declared war and not after they were directly attacked?
It baffles me how you don’t see the hypocrisy of both complaining about the US not joining WWII until they were directly attacked and also complaining about American hegemony today.

Not true at all. You should maybe crack a history book.
Post-WWI the US people wanted to be less involved in world affairs. Congress prevented the country from joining the League of Nations.
Then when WWII broke out I’d imagine there was not a lot of stomach for it. You know, since they had just been involved in a similar war a little over 2 decades before.
To say they did nothing shows your ignorance. Before officially entering the war, the US provided substantial aid to the Allied powers, particularly Great Britain.
Why should the US, in 1939, have declared war?
- Comment on Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says 15 hours ago:
[Four days after the United Kingdom had declared war on 3 September 1939, Parliament was called in special session and both King and Manion stated their support for Canada following Britain, but did not declare war immediately, partly to show that Canada was joining out of her own initiative and was not obligated to go to war.
Also from the link:
At the outbreak of war, Canada’s commitment to the war in Europe was limited by the government to one division, and one division in reserve for home defence.
Canada did not intend to get involved to the extent they did at the start. That changed after the Battle of Dieppe in 1942, along with other events.

You know the American hegemony people from Europe seem to be quick to complain about these days? That’s directly related to the US joining in WWII.
The US was largely isolationist though starting to change during that time. That changed drastically after WWII for multiple reasons.
You know NATO? The thing the US dumps money and resources into? That didn’t exist then but the League of Nations did. You who wasn’t a part of the League of Nations? The US.
The US isn’t anyone’s friend but it’s own.
Maybe, but the cherry picked example you’re trying to use looks mighty different in context.
