@mad_max21 lol, you must know absolutely nothing about French or European history in general to make this statement. Basically your thesis = after the FR, the existence of aristocracy was deleted and forever more, the idea of lineage, houses/families with century of wealth and political connections and/or a rarefied social class ceased to exist. Sure..

@gayprepperz6862 ”April 1941 polls showed that 68% of Americans favored war against the Axis powers if that was the only way to defeat them.” - National WW2 Museum. I am aware that in 1940 88% were opposed, but that began changing extremely quickly after France fell and Britain began getting bombed. So rapidly, that American opinion shifted 60% in just months. By December 1, it was more than 70%.

@gayprepperz6862 This is not true. By the day before Pearl Harbor, nearly 75% of the country was in support of joining the war as well as a heavy majority in congress. He WAS worried about the midterms, but he had no reason to let alone an ethical justification for delaying joining.

@geeeeeee3 What is the relevancy of your comment to mine?

@looinrims That’s called hindsight. You’ll be amazed to learn that people cannot base decisions on actions yet to have occurred. And with France’s admiral clearly trending toward actions that would see the demobilization of the fleet put in Axis hands followed by an Admiral refusing to even speak with a Captain, it’s not hard to see why they did what they did. At worst, you could say they made a cold blooded decision. A war crime? Laughable.

@gayprepperz6862 “My polls.” lol

@gayprepperz6862 93% Yes 7%: the results of a poll from Gallup a week after Germany invaded W. Europe on 5/10/1940. The poll used this question: ”Do you think the United States should declare war on Germany and send our army and navy abroad to fight?”

@gayprepperz6862 The question now is can you admit you were wrong about public support for joining the war? I noted that you were right about many still holding isolationist views before WWII began.

@looinrims Logic is not your strong point is it? That makes your initial reply even more ironic.

@RobinTheBot This guy, right?

@ipsoepsum6880 Wah. Wah. I’ll excuse the moral failings of my ancestors by pointing out moral failings of your ancestors. That’s a new one.

@ghandimauler It’s true. My mom was the CEO of a large multinational and when we visited American offices we got no special treatment. However, when we accompanied her to Lisbon for a “Global Managers Meeting,” a limo arrived on the runway and we were disembarked before anyone else (awkward) and driven off to some private lounge where we basically skipped immigration and after our luggage was collected we were accompanied by a motorcycle cop with his siren on allowing us to pass all traffic! It was crazy. Also, my mom’s secretary talked about when he worked for a couple months in Europe (after she retired), when they found out he had been her personal secretary they were amazed and asked tons of questions. Anyone in a US office couldn’t care less.
