I don't agree with most of the foreign policies now.

I like sauerkraut - but not for breakfast.

Seriously though – the American nation is made up of immigrants mainly from Europe and that included German Jews.

Some people thought that Germany would have allowed the UK to sue for peace on our own terms before the Yanks got directly involved. Didn’t Hitler offer to leave the UK alone if we undertook to pull out of Europe and not get further involved? Hitler’s biggest mistake (against the advice of his generals) was not to invade the UK when we were on our knees and choose to go for Russia instead.

After that I don’t think that Hitler had the capacity or the stomach for invading Britain. Look what it cost us and the Yanks to invade Normandy.
