Americans putting their feet up everywhere

And how exactly were the supposed to stop the genocide. Once the US finally go around to joining the Allies in the fight against Germany it still took close to 3 years to amass the troops and equipment to land on the continent and almost another year to get into Germany and end the war. We could have bombed the concentration camps and the trains going to them. There's a brilliant idea. Bomb the camps and the trains carrying the Jews so that the Germans couldn't kill them. There is also the issue of mass acceptance of refugees. So, if we cannot accept them all, it is ok to let them die. I get it. I don't think the people could foresee the danger. They would not have thought that a civilized country would be planning to exterminate a race of people. After the shooting started there was no way to help. How many million people of do you think they could have accommodated in a short period of time. Probably all those who died over about 5 years. I forget the number, something like 8 million. Not many countries are prepared for taking in vast numbers of new arrivals and finding themselves responsible for providing food and housing for them. It is not unreasonable for any country to be concerned about too many people from any particular ethnic group being admitted. Look what happened to Mexico when it allowed Americans to settle in Texas. They ended up losing Texas. And we ended up losing millions of innocent lives, literally, in many cases, to go up in flames. So perhaps Spain could have taken them, or Brazil, Mexico....?? Lots of country's could have, but some people seem to want to condemn the US because they did not open their doors to a rush of millions of refugees. I would be more receptive to criticism from someone from a country that made the offer to take them all. Sadly, there doesn't seem to be anyone that qualifies. |
