Especially With An Insane Man Like Hitler Running Amok
- To all those who believe in keeping our noses out of other people's problems: It would become America's problem really quickly if the bad guys gained control of the oceans leading to the United States.
- For 117 years, America has peacefully solved any problems with continental Europe, and avoided any real threats to the western hemisphere.
- If Britain remains free and powerful on the other side of the Atlantic, the U.S. is safe from attack. But if the Axis powers are in charge, the U.S. wouldn't ever really be safe again, and the Axis would have control over four continents, as well as the oceans.
- America would be living under constant military and economic threat, and would have to transform into a militaristic power in order to survive.
- Just because the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean are so big doesn't mean the U.S. would be okay if Britain fell. Technology has made the distance pretty small—it's quicker to go from Africa to Brazil than from Washington, D.C. to Denver, Colorado.
- There's no time to sugarcoat it—the danger is very real, and not talking about it doesn't make the problem go away.
