AS an administrator...should you not possess even the smallest bit of knowledge about WW2 or EU/US relations?
The US became involved in WW2... primarily to prevent a unified Nazi Europe... not to save John Smith of Manchester....ok? Once again...the US like most nations ..do not act altruistically in foreign affairs... the US is by far the least generous. If we want to look at altruistic nations..it would be more scandanavian and Uk and even Japanease.
The central focus of US Foreign Policy over the past 100 years...has been to divide and disrupt a single Europe.
Initially they feared a unified Nazi Europe...subsequently the focus has been to prevent a unified Europe.... European Union... they failed on the crucial economic front...where the EU now pisses on the US... .however they have been much more successful in disrupting a united EU foreign policy and defence policy.....shown by the Uk's split from the rest of Europe over Iraq.
I have written several articles and papers on NATO and the US fear of a politically unified Europe.
I cannot believe that i am actually engaging with people of your academic level.... initially it was just to put my toe into the morass of american ignorance ....just to experience something that we dont really have in Europe (utter ignorance)... but didnt realise just how deep the pool of jesus freak retards was.
To conclude... the US only ever acts out of self interest.... recently it is not even the interest of the US people...but the interests of a small group of powerful people who profit from a JOKE US defence budget.... only the US people would be stupid enough to pay it.
Why? because they are drenched in fear and hatred... and think they need to spend 100x more than every other western nation! LMAO
Actually, If you had ever read a fuckin' book, you would know that the US entered the war militaristically due to an attack in Hawaii by a Nazi ally. The US had in de facto been invovled in the European front for some time with our lend/lease program(your welcome, you ungrateful bastard). You are correct about not wanting save John Smith of Manchester though. There was a large contigent in the US that did not want to enter the European front. Many Americans, Joseph Kennedy included, did not mind the Nazis so much. Had it not been for the close peronal friendship of Churchill and Roosevelt, You would probably be typing in german right now.
