FDR pulled off a switch-a-roo in front of the American people, and it didn’t bother anybody that he spent all of the prep for the war pounding Europe. And then suddenly it’s the Pacific that attacks to us.
It was a two-front war right away. It occurs to me that this is a useful analogy to the situation that the US has faced for some years a two-front war. Is it the People’s Republic of China that is threatening our freedom and the freedom of our allies in the Pacific? Or is it Russia, the Russian Federation and its allies threatening our allies and us in Europe?
And we fight this war first, or that war first? How do we make a choice? Have we got enough money? And the American people understand that the choice is ready-made for you: I give you a two-front war.
