    I can tell you what we shouldn’t have done. We shouldn’t have turned away the 937 passengers of the St. Louis. It shouldn’t have done the mass arrest and internment of Japanese American civilians. We shouldn’t have sent Germany military aid in the form of IBM computers and Standard Oil. Hell, there was a laundry list of American government-backed big industry supporting German and Italian Fascists even after the bombing of Pearl Harbor

    What the US should have been doing was enforcing the accords struck after WW1, implementing a Marshall Plan in Europe and North Africa and East Asia 30 years earlier, and providing immediate unconditional refuge to anyone threatened by a fascist government, rather than hot-housing them in fascist states until they either fled to the Middle East, Latin America, or Soviet Russia or got shoved into the ovens and gas chambers.

      I was aware of some of this from reading “The Arms of Krupp” someone on Lemmy pointed me to, but not the extent on the US side. Great link tyvm.
