FDR won both the 1932 and 1936 Presidential elections, and had he been a statesman,
he would have gone back to upstate New York, done something useful, accumulated
wealth, and played slap and tickle with Eleanore. He took a second look at Eleanore,
figured he would have more fun romancing Trigger, knew nothing about accumulating
wealth as demonstrated by his pathetic handling of the economy, and realized he
didn't know a damn thing about being useful. Vowing to remain in Washington and play
slap and tickle with Lucy Mercer, he ran for an unprecedented third term in 1940,
which he won. On December 7, 1941 the Japanese decided reducing pre WWI Battleships
to scrap metal in Pearl Harbor was a master stroke of strategy and on December 8,
FDR declared war on the Japs. The same day, Hitler figured that he could beat a
raving socialist who married the wrong cousin (Eleanore was Cousin B). America was
in the second war with the Bleeding European Idiots.
Roosevelt didn't know a damn thing about the military or fighting a war so, imbecile
that he was, he turned to Winston Churchill for advice. Winnie had been First Lord
of the Admiralty in WWI. In that conflict Churchill's sole contribution was the
battle of Ypres in which he launched an amphibious invasion against the Turkish
Coast against impossible terraine with understrength assault forces who had no
intelligence regarding the defenders, the geography of the landing area, or
knowledge of German Naval Forces North of the landing area. Around 400 Turks threw
the Limeys back into the drink and England had her worst defeat of the war.
Winnie's advice to FDR was that the Allies attack "The Soft Underbelly of Europe"
and not try a cross channel invasion into France since that would be going right
into the teeth of the Nazi stronghold. The Soft Underbelly? Why, Winnie thought we
ought to invade Italy!
