A reminder of the U.S. Lend-Lease program and Declarations Of War in 1941 and 1942.

Lend-Lease:

[The Lend-Lease policy, formally titled An Act to Promote the Defense of the United States (Pub.L. 77–11, H.R. 1776, 55 Stat. 31, enacted March 11, 1941), was a program under which the United States supplied the United Kingdom (and British Commonwealth), Free France, the Republic of China, and later the Soviet Union and other Allied nations with food, oil, and materiel between 1941 and 1945.]

What this tells me is that the initial support by the U.S. for our Allies will result in our
being involved to the max. This is historical reality and it's playing out again here
in 2022. There are those of us who are capable of learning from history and those
who aren't. It's unfortunate that all of us will pay the price set by the slow learners.

1. Small note, of minor interest. My father spent a large part of...

the war trying to keep up with Patton. He told me that we sent tons of butter to the Russians and thry shined their boots with it.

Nothing's changed.
