Indifference toward Islamo-fascism?
But I guess that’s more accurately “letting people die” in the name of ideology, huh?
That is conseuentialist nonsense, you are not responsible for other people dying unless you kill them yourself or your government does it in your name.

Decided not to dance in circles with you again.
But this statement is so classically you (and Austrian?) that I just had to quote it.
I look forward to the day when you, your family, your friends, your town, or your country desperately need the help of someone in some way stronger… and that person thumbs his nose at you and waves goodbye. [/quote]
Yeah well that is still way better than when the same “stronger” country arbitrarily decided that I am “in need” and bombed the shit out of my country to “help” me.

Ah, no, Orion.
We bombed the shit out of your country because the Jews and much of Europe were being persecuted and murdered by your Nazi grandparents.
And those folks were quite grateful to us, BTW.
See how that works?[/quote]
First of all you hardly bombed Austria compared to Germany.
Then, that was no exactly the reason, your politicians itched to interfere whereas your people did not care, so Roosevelt did everything shy of flipping the Tenno to make Japan attack you and he succeeded.
Which is when most Americans decided that this threat must be ended, now that it had reached them.
Had you wanted to take in the Jews you could have done so in the early thirties, buy you did not.
You could have taken in those on the last ships that were able to escape, yet you did not.
You sent them back to Germany.
So, somehow I am having problems with seeing anything noble minded in any of this, though it sure was nice for the remaining Jews that you came around eventually after the Red Army did all the heavy lifting.
However, that was not the point.
You claimed that you “helped” those nations.
I claim that you never do, you just claim that to hide naked aggression.
Maybe you should read “De Bello Gallico” from a dude named Gaius Julius Caesar, he is pretty candid about how he managed to get asked to “help” so often.
