Reply #6: I haven't made up my mind whether the US should've entered

[cpwm17]

Some people make a good case that we should not have entered the war.

The US intentionally provoked the Japanese to attack and force our entry. The Nazis would have lost regardless of our participation, though Western Europe might not have liked the outcome if we didn't enter. We probably would have been better off staying out. So I'm not sure what the US should have done.

During the war, the US fire bombed and nuked civilians, which didn't help the Allies win. Also, Truman returned millions of POW's and others back to the Soviets to be murdered, tortured, and imprisoned in Operation Keelhaul:

So our morality was suspect during the war. As it happened, some 70 million people were murdered in the war - that sucks. I'm not sure that we were really that much help.

But after the war the US has gone on a violent crusade with our newly acquired military powers. The US has directly murdered many millions around the World since WWII, and is indirectly responsible for millions of more deaths. Americans and the World haven't benefited except for some war profiteers. This could be our ultimate downfall. WWII is partially responsible.
