Clippy Rants Episode 7: COPPA

The USA designed its propaganda films to smear foreign civilians and troops who fought against the fascist cause. Anti-Chinese and general Anti-Asian sentiment was as rife then as it is today. The US people continued to pursue a futile "only isolation" policy similar to that of Britain and France before Hitler broke the promises he made in Munich. The Allies wouldn't let the Axis or the Russians have oil for even civilian purposes. These embargoes are only globally legal if they target military machines alone (hint: they didn't). All belligerents issued "scorched-earth" policies against even civilian settlements seen as having no military value to the enemy side. BTW, this is a complete violation of the Geneva Conventions. The West drew the arbitrary modern Mideastern borders. Only US interference keeps them in place today, BTW.

I could go on and on. But what else do you expect from a species closer to "monkey-again" than most of us want to accept?

Final Main Hoax: Franklin Roosevelt was one of the best American presidents, period!

Why we should reevaIuate these rules too: Like Churchill, Roosevelt didn't have much
choice. Let either Hitler or Stalin rule the world, the end. His critics believe him to be no
better than other politicians. Look at our status today! First, however, I will look at how it
was then. America was still thoroughly Jim Crowed, even on the surface. It was also
rumored he struck down an anti-lynching bill (for some reason). What he did to the
Japanese, German and Italian Americans isn't even worth mentioning. Both America
and Britain shunned escaping Jews for random reasons, leaving them to die in Nazi
hands. Churchill did much the same to Anglo-Italians and Anglo-Germans living in
the UK at the time. FDR froze the US assets of Axis-held countries, claiming it was
the only way to keep them from falling into enemy hands. He arrested foreign
tourists in the US out of thinking they were enemy spies (and more).

The Brits even managed to keep their most vital colonies out of Japanese hands. This fact was crucial to Britain because Japan was a Nazi ally. Britain still had enough from its colonial plunder to purchase some more supplies from the United States. This tactic proved just as vital to Britain's survival and the Western World's ultimate victory.

Hoax #3: Only America deserved/prepared for it all.

Why I'm now about to arm myself to the teeth: Has everyone forgotten what happened to the Native
Americans under Euro-American hands? The fact is America armed itself to the teeth back then.
They still do so now, but this time against other nations. American colonials referred to the USA
as simply "the mainland" as they knew the United States of America was no different from any
other "nation-state" (empire).

Hoax #4: But Churchill was a true hero!

Why that assumption is ridiculous: Churchill hated Indians to death, and his Russian and Turkic policies were disastrous for his empire.

Here are examples of politicians' compulsive and pathological lies.

The World Wars, however, must come first for obvious reasons.

Hoax #1: Only the Germans made all preparations.

Why it's bullshit: Russia was producing weapons of war that were almost as good and
almost at the same rate as Germany. In fact, by September 1939, Russia had as many, if
not more than, military-ready tanks as the rest of Europe combined. The only real issue
was that Russia stationed most of them in Siberia in case Japan launched its version of
Operation Barbarossa. Had Russia known how suicidal attacking their country was, they
would have been able to cast their blitz upon all of Europe as they had initially planned.

Hoax #2: Britain had nothing ready.

Why you must be kidding: Churchill knew the war was inevitable regardless. Another
lesser-known fact is how good their navy was. In both wars, they blockaded Germany.
This strategy almost brought the Reich to its knees.

"Executive Mansion,
Washington, August 22, 1862.

Hon. Horace Greeley:
Dear Sir.

I would save the Union. If there be those who would not save the Union, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it. If I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union.

Yours,
A. Lincoln."

This is an excerpt. The full letter exceeds Vidlii's character limit. However, it is real and appears when searching "Abe Lincoln's letter to Horace Greeley."
