“Don’t get involved in the war in Europe!” ”It’s not our war!” These were the calls that were led by Father Coughlin and other isolationists in the USA during the years leading up to World War II
Following the terrible cost in US soldiers lives from World War I, the calls to stay away from future wars fell on ears that were happy to warn of impending dangers. Winston Churchill, on the other hand, spent years trying to urge Franklin Delano Roosevelt to join in against the expansionist Nazi Army’s rush to take over Europe and more. Churchill fought the isolationist’s influence on Roosevelt, until he finally prevailed on Roosevelt to join in – years after World War II began.
Had Roosevelt brought the US Army into battle years earlier, tens of millions of lives may have been saved, and certainly tens of thousands of US GI’s would have lived. The longer the US stalled, the greater the cost of the war was. The war-mongers like to quote this lesson to justify all involvement in foreign conflagrations. That is also a mistaken notion.
The truth is that not every hot spot is indeed a war that the United States should get involved in. The nuclear threat from Iran is the perfect example of a war that Donald Trump made the brave and correct decision to get involved in. The nuclear threat was part of a global plan to blackmail the entire Western world via Iranian radical Muslim theology that built up a terrible terror machine based on ballistic missiles, nuclear reactors, and terror proxies all around the Middle East.
