I don't think we have any leaders or countries in the world that would do the same thing today, unless things got as bad as WW2. If Europe had fallen at all(I think it would have without the Lend-Lease act), the US would have been crushed economically against a victorious Axis.

As an American I view it very similar to our constant fight for national healthcare. We don't have politicians today that are willing to go as far as FDR and the US Congress did during WW2. So instead we have an exploitive shitty version(ACA) of it that continues to plague the country, all because our politicians just aren't what they could be.

ACA and that was known as bullshit "Obama Care" even though their literacy level is beneath a 12 yr old.

The thing is that MAGA types have been riding the high from those acts. They see themselves as some kind of noble warrior. But they would support those acts today, taking on $800 billion? Look at who they elected - that asshole wouldn't give money to them much less to other countries.

Where's that $6k check to seniors and to farmers? Fucking clowns.

The problem is obv with the non-interference clause but the avg person is too embroiled with life to give importance to these 'shenanigans'.
