The poster you are responding to likes cherry-picking history.

Some people look at facts, some people ignore facts.

Off topic, but deserving clarification: You're misinterpreting. What the other poster said was USA joined in with Russia to defeat the Nazis in WW11 which is not correct. US only declared war on Germany after Hitler had declared war on the US. Thankfully the Russians, with US material help,  did the most of the hard fighting in Europe to defeat the Nazis.

 

I know exactly what happened. FDR worried that Congress would only declare war on Japan but Hitler shortcircuited that by unilaterally declaring war on the USA. 

 

I do know the history. These word games are wilful.

What a lot of Americans don't know is that the Irish contingent in Congress were quite happy to see Hitler defeat the UK. 

 

Thet believed underhanded neutrality would result in Germany handing them the dream - a United Ireland. 

 

Didn't work out well for them - and the embarrassment of Ireland being the only country in the world to send condolences to Germany on the death of Hitler was the icing on the cake. 

 

Know the history.
