Hitler DECLARED WAR ON THE US on Dec 11th 1941 and U-boats immediately began targeting US shipping. The declaration of war was not required under the Tripartite pact with Japan and Italy. By all reports he did it on a whim and consulted no-one.

Saying that we shouldn't have gotten involved while US sailors go down to visit Davy Jones is a revolting notion. 20/20 hindsight would beg the question of why we didn't get involved SOONER. The fascist enemy was always there in plain sight and our isolationism only emboldened them.

...and, indeed, there was a good chance Hitler could have strangled Britain with U-boats without ever setting foot on the Island.

But on the main topic, I see little evidence that the US or Israel is truly considering military action against Iran. More likely they will be held at arms length and isolated like North Korea.

Another Op/Ed piece about nothing.
