If events were unfolding in a foreign land exactly as they unfolded in Nazi Germany, what would you recommend?
With the same technological sophistication as the nazis or something similar to the technology in a modern european army?

What works for you? I'm really just wondering about if we knew a nation was attempting what Hitler attempted, - okay, so given today's technology. Would we attempt to intercede.
Wait until the last second and then save everybody again leaving them unable to balance against us and create a regional hegemon for several decades.
Assasination. War is for kings and tycoons.
Let it happen. Unless they're doing it to us-- or our allies-- then we don't have a dog in the fight.
So America should not have interceded in Nazi Germany? There's probably a fair amount of people who feel the same. Does it really boil down to "we don't have a dog in the fight", regardless of what atrocities are taking place?
Why didn't they do that the first go-round?

The British and French were allies, which is the only reason we interceded. Frankly, I think we were on the wrong side in WW2.
As far as I am concerned, yes. If it's not our problem to start with, there's no reason to make it our problem.

So you find no moral obligation to your fellow human beings to stop the merciless slaughter of millions of innocent people?
How so? Is this a mindset where population is 'naturally' reduced by war?
No. Why would I? Any obligation I might feel toward millions of innocent aliens would be completely overwhelmed by my obligation to the thousands of our own people it would take to stop it.

I guess I just see them as innocent people, and don't consider nationalism when doing that kind of math.
If they posed a realistic threat to the US, then yes.
That is the difference between us. I can't not consider nationalism when considering the outcome of a policy.
Why "obviously"? The United States is far from the only military power capable of intervening.We should obviously get involved, but not alone.
