That's not the point, now is it. In the part of the post you chopped out,
you were telling us of the rightness of America, and when I give you an
example of an actual out-and-out ally that stood up to Nazi Germany while
isolationists kept the US sitting on its hands and was rewarded by being
financially denuded, you go off on another tangent.

The point is we did get in on the side of the Brits. And before that we
provided them with materials of war which compromised our neutral
standing. In 1940 we shipped them the first P-51s. They got the best
fighter in war from us even before out people used it. The name of the
game was Lend-Lease. Americans were not ready to bleed until Pearl Harbor.
