yah, you know the funny thing, i'm sure it's true because the good 'ol
US of A will do anything for money, as history has proven time and
again, even if it is against its own stated democratic principles.



So facts are irrelevant - OK

I'm
sure that lots of businesses made a wad of cash off WWI and WWII and
lots of other wars while allies were dying. The whole argument of
whether or not the nation was a stated ally is bull****. The US knew
what was going on in both wars for years, knew about all the brutal
**** the axis were doing, and basically ignored it and made money off
it for years while other countries were spilling blood to save
themselves.The US will never change. You know, it's completely OK for
the war to go on in Europe but as soon as Pearl harbour, well now it's
a big deal.


So you have dont know that the Lend Lease bill preceded Pearl Harbor
I take it

I suppose the fact that the USN was escorting convoys in the
North Atlantic BEFORE Pearl Harbor is news to you too.

And I imagine you missed the fact that Japan decided to attack
because the US had placed an emargo on sales of oil and
other materials on them because of their aggression in China.

Fact is the USA was providing us in Britain with assistance that went
wway beyond the bounds of neutrality long before the Germans
declared war on them.
