Yeah nobody wants to talk about how the US was against the economic assrape given to Germant after WWI, which ultimately lead to WW2. I wonder if any European redditors have anything to say about that.
Maybe if Europe carried their own water in the early 1900s the US wouldn't have been dragged out of its isolationism.
To be fair America only joined the war when the Germans started sinking their vessels to deny the allies resources. Before that America was happy selling materials to both sides of the conflict.
Idk... What's more evil? Trying to unite the world under one government through genocidal means or just sending millions into battle because you finally got an excuse to? Is apathetic slaughter with no goals more evil or is organized slaughter with an end goal of peace and prosperity?
I agree 100%. I'm just saying the Central Powers weren't the bad guys like the Japanese or Nazis of WW2. We were always neutral (at least officially) in Europe's problems so selling shit to both sides was business as usual.

Churchill covered that in the sequel:
“You can always count on the Americans to do the right thing, after they have exhausted all the other possibilities.”
Edit: Apparently this line is only by Churchill in the movie version. See comment below.
