| Rath said: Stof never claimed he was largely responsible, merely that of anyone he was the most responsible. @Phil. America only actually entered the wars both times after they came under some sort of attack, in WWI it was because a ship with American passengers was sunk, in WWII it was because of PH. Also much of Eastern Europe didn't get their freedom until the Soviet Union imploded, where did the US come into that? |
We only *entered* the wars after being attacked. My point was that we were quietly supporting the Allied forces in both wars before entering(and make no mistake, our entry into each was as close as you can get to a forgone conclusion). In WWI, we were shipping arms to the British. Also, we didn't enter because of the sinking of the Lusitania, we entered as the result of a telegraph from the Germans to Mexico asking that they declare war on us. In WWII, we had the lend lease program, whereby massive amounts of arms and financial support were given to the Allies.
As for the collapse of the Soviet Union, you don't honestly think that the US had nothing to do with that, do you?
