This is a wild misunderstanding of history. I am so tired of this https://twitter.com/purelypurgatory/status/1315616319451082753
“Germany was inspired by US policies”- Hitler liked the American expansion westward and the destruction of Native peoples, but his actual concrete political program was very much an extreme settler oriented version of Mussolini’s colonial policies
“Nazis were welcomed with open arms”- they were smuggled into the country by US intelligence agencies after US military and economic planners realized they had inherited a global empire. Americans in general had literally no input on this despite supporting the war on fascism
As much as you want to say “the us went into the war for cynical reasons” American GIs and the General population actually truly believed they were destroying fascism to make the world safe for democracy, and actually truly believed the USSR was fundamentally good
