But this was the goal, right? America first, go to hell globalists. Rip the TPP, the paris agreement. Wouldn’t be great to leave the UN altogether? Many trumpsters want that.
Who will fill in the gap? China.
Im sorry, but Trumpsters don’t get to complaint about this. This is what they wanted, now deal with it.

So smog and acid rain are good for you then.
The people who owned, operated, and worked for those businesses/industries need them as much as anyone else.
There can be a balance between the two.
You can start here:
Unless we can find a way to find that happy medium and/or replace mostt industrial energy production with Nuclear and Natural Gas this will continue.
A recent ruling by the courts will pretty much drive most if not all remaining pulp mill production out of the US as well unless the SCOTUS intervenes.

Okay. Not sure what your point is. Whether we put boots on the ground in Europe or not, we were still at war with Germany.
Only on paper if we didn’t engage. That’s the point.

Japan attacked the United States in real life, not on paper. Germany and Japan were allies. Germany declared war on the United States. You really think we could have just ignored the whole situation and it would have gone away?
Blah, Blah, Blah.
Whether we were officially at war with Germany or not based on that declaration is irrelevant if we’d never engaged them.
We could have simply supplied the allies leaving it to them to defend the Atlantic on their own as well as Africa and Europe while we protected our own Gulf/Atlantic waters while prosecuting the war in The Pacific.
Germany wasn’t going to move any of their assets to the Pacific to assist Japan while engaged with Stalin, Churchill and the rest of the allies. He never had the Naval forces nor air forces to do so.
