Of course. I was just attempting to have a little fun poking at the conspiracy, or the conspiracy minded.

If we had actually done nothing, of the three, I’d think the Germans were the most likely to eventually become a direct threat on the NA continent, via Mexico. There’s a reason the Zimmerman telegram was a thing back in the previous war.

Anyway, yes, in the end, our intervention in the global unpleasantness was necessary. I (really) just think it’s sad that we had to start things off by losing a good portion of our navy and thousands of young sailors. Conspiracy or not, the lack of preparedness on 12/7 was at the very minimum a case of stunning incompetence.

Which was followed up by several more acts of stunning incompetence, until about June of 1942. (and a few later, in the area of Guadalcanal)

War is a series of calamities that result in victory.

Hindsight is 20/20.
