and America would have already been the dominant power in Europe, and we would have been able to stop the Nazis from getting carried away as soon as they came into power earlier.
So it's not Woodrow Wilson's fault for getting us into a war, it's Henry Cabot Lodge's fault for refusing to ratify the treaty, which would have solved everything, right?
So that's why they'll teach you the first part is because it comes stuck with the second, that what we really needed was to join the League of Nations.
But what they're admitting there is that if Woodrow Wilson hadn't done that, there would have never been a commie USSR and there would have never been a National Socialist Germany and there'd have never been a Second World War.
He could add that they also helped to completely destroy the Ottoman Empire and let Britain and France seize the entire Middle East, create the state of Israel and the mandate in Palestine and all the rest of that.
It also flows from Woodrow Wilson's great blunder, as Powell put it.
So then-
Yeah, and like, I can definitely recommend Darrell Cooper's, you know, he's got Enemy, The German's War, part one and part two are out.
But also my colleague at the Libertarian Institute, Keith Knight has a great show where he went over, he read Winston Churchill's seven part history of World War II, which I actually am going to inherit from my dad one day that he got from his, the giant seven volume history of World War II by Winston Churchill.
But Keith Knight goes through there and is like, holy crap, look what he says right here, guys.
And just, you know what I mean?
He's reading it with that critical eye.
And so essentially this story that he tells in there is completely different from the hindsight story of World War II.
Yeah, those weren't the Germans.
That was maybe the German-American Bund, but they were American.
Like Madison Square Garden?
American fascists, yeah.
Oh, okay.
is you know the the democrats make such a big deal about that but you could fit every single american nazi all together in one madison square garden and that's all of them so right yeah they love to exaggerate that stuff i thought it was interesting you were explaining this book um about it compiled all of the american headlines about world war ii oh yeah up until the point where the we entered the war
Well, it's not just American ones, but it's headlines from newspapers, especially in England and the United States.
