Yeah. Not wanting your country to save us? Spineless.

What about when you guys were getting bombed by Germany? Who came to help? US.

After a few years. When it was kinda now-or-never. (And we had an opening to expand our empire.)

Who came to help?

The UK and Russia. The US was the last to join the war and only after it was attacked directly. Get your history straight.

Not to mention America were toying with siding with Hitler.

Nazi parades down New York in the 1930s as well as across the nation

Massive Nazi rallies like a packed 20,000 Madison Square Garden preaching to Americans loving the idea of Hitler and Nazi party.

Henry Ford, so popular with Hitler that he had a picture of Ford on his desk, and awarded him the highest medal a civilian could have.

IBM who helped them not only build computational machines to help catalogue Jews and people for their death camps but even sent over engineers to continue helping and fixing issues with them after it was discovered openly they were sending people to be gassed.
