And of course, when we were in West Germany, that was an occupation, the West Germans were free, but no so free that they could ask us to leave, wot?

It's a war to save the world for liberty, but it's not a hippie commune.

And bear in mind, this war is all fought under the banner of America First and always has been, America is not so much out to free the world out of the kindness of its heart, America is out to free the world, because if the world is not free, then America can never truly be free neither.

A world run by the British Crown, or the German Military, or the Soviet Bolsheviks, or an Islamic State, with America surrounded on all sides?

No, that is not an acceptable outcome, to be sure.

Would only be a matter of time, before impressment ensued, America knows.

You see, initially, America was hemmed in by the British Empire to the north and a Franco-Spanish Empire to the south. America tried to take the British Empire out first, and failed (woot-woot!), but then turned to taking the Franco-Spanish empire out next, and succeeded, and that essentially offset the British.

Then a Confederacy arose from within in the ranks, which threatened to take the former Franco-Spanish Empire for itself, in cahoots with the British to the north, and so that had to be stopped at all costs. Once all that was sorted out, America started dealing with the situation beyond the continent. . .

Oh is it Alternate History day?

I prefer the one where the reptile aliens invaded in the middle of WW2.

Americans don't know their own history and prefer to believe myths instead, who knew?

I mean, the Franco-Spanish Empire was the entire southwest, California to Texas, if America hadn't taken that, and instead all that had remained Franco-Spanish, in cahoots with the British? America as we know it would not have survived that.

Canada wouldn't have won if Amelia Earhart had not flown through a time vortex over the Pacific Ocean and warned the Canadians when she unwittingly returned to North America.
