That's correct. Those that wished to profit by being a dominant power on the world stage sought involvement is many wars, all unnecessarily.
Sigh. Not this old mythology again.
That's a great demonstration of the skill with which Roosevelt and his regime manipulated both events and the propaganda surrounding them. Not only did Roosevelt actively seek involvement in World War Two, he desperately did every conceivable action to drag America into it. Numerous acts of war against Germany and Japan for years finally produced the results he'd hoped for.
If neither Japan nor Germany had attacked America, and we'd remained out of World War Two, like most Americans wanted to do; Japan would still have been defeated and Germany would have been forced back within their borders. That was well on the way to happening by 1942.
Britain wanted American cannon fodder in order to ruin Germany for good, and Roosevelt only too happily provided them.
That is simply not true. Many things have changed since 1941.
Although it's clear that corporate interests are still generating war fever at various levels, and still perpetrating the Rooseveltian myths about the desirability of militarism, it's simply wrong and dangerous.
Yes, that's exactly what we should do. Although I'd not use the warmongers term "into our shell" since we were never in one in our history, we do need to stop our world wide warmongering and hegemony.
No, there's no known enemy on planet earth that would require any such thing.
The only such enemy is one created by the US government to gin up more government power. That's really all it's ever been about.
War is the health of the state.
