And if he does, so what? Europe should be responsible for its own defense after decades of failing to uphold its treaty obligations. Let them eat cake.
NP. Not exactly a student of history, are you?
Isolationism and "America First" didn't exactly work out well the first time around.
Oh? Which period of isolationism are you referencing? Because WW2 would have been much better if the US hadn't helped the Bolsheviks slaughter millions of Europeans.
Oh, so you have preferred The Man in the High Castle?
No, I'm no Nazi apologist, but I can compare their awful acts with those of the Bolsheviks. Do you even know how many people the Bolsheviks killed? If you want to say the Nazis were worse because they were the initial aggressors (I get that!), fair enough. But most have only been taught one side of the atrocities, so I'm curious if you know about the other.
Reminds me of people who have strong thoughts on the causes of the Civil War but can't connect the Corwin Amendment with the Emancipation Proclamation. Again, absent a fuller teaching of history, most people are woefully ignorant and simply repeat what they have been told.

It would have been a lot worse for the U.S. and Western Europe. Pinning Germany down on the eastern front was critical to our ultimate victory.
Ultimate victory? The Bolsheviks nightmares for decades after the US funded and enabled their expansion. There were decades of negative consequences for the US due to FDR's support of the Bolsheviks. Patton saw the truth but too late.
