""If the US had declined to fight WWII..."". That was Lindberg's and much of the political right's agenda in the 1930s.

""...if the US had simply bugged out of Europe after WWII and left the whole thing as a goodbye present to Joe Stalin....""

Why dont you add to the bottom "That was US stalin apologist left's agenda in the 1940s and 1950s."

Fair and balanced.

An economic pipe dream(as I'm sure you know) as the US needed to build up Europe in order to have a place to sell it's goods, self interest at work. A military pipe dream since the USSR was anathema to US military thought. A political pipe dream since Karl Marxs writings were and still are anathema to US political thought."

US had major economic interests in europe and asia pre-WW2 as well. Again lets be fair and balanced. You must be blind in your left eye. Again "fair and balanced" is all i ask for.
