“Americans can always be trusted to do the right thing, once all other possibilities have been exhausted.”
I wish I believed that anymore.
I think you just underestimated the number of other possibilities.
During WW1 there was a lot of anti-German propaganda. After the war it turned out that German troops had behaved like every other army. When the Nazis came to power many Americans assumed that the stories about them were the same old, same old.
The dangers of propaganda. It's one of the reasons Allied Intelligence in WW2 opted to tell the truth, or at least more of it, since the self-discrediting propaganda in WW1 eventually became counter-productive.
Waiting for this to happen to MAGA is fucking exhausting
The Cold War came after World War II...
I believe they’re drawing a parallel between anti-war sentiment in WWII and current events in Ukraine. I’m not sure who the #1 enemy would be, though; maybe that’s subjective.
China, I guess.
China is now considered America’s pacing threat, having replaced Russia due to what has been revealed, in Ukraine, of their ability to conduct war.
Hey now... There's a really good reason for fighting in the desert for the past century.
There's money in it!
Same now with regards to aid to Ukraine.
If we send the ones from the bottom over to do the work of the top, I think we might get somewhere with both issues.
Just need a time machine...
The ones on the bottom are what the ones on the top are largely made up of.
