In the 1930s-early 40 America Firsters did not want to join the fight against Hitler.

🇺🇦Una pieza de @jbiosca.bsky.social esencial para repasar la invasión rusa, desmentir bulos de Trump sobre el papel de EEUU (la mitad de la ayuda militar es europea igual que la mayoría de la humanitaria) y recordar las mentiras del Kremlin (el arranque lo dice todo) www.eldiario.es/internaciona...
