It WAS the attitude until it started invading its neighbours.
And what has the US, the country with the most powerful military in the world, been threatening to do lately?
Keep going they’re almost there.
People don't realize most of the world turned a blind eye to hitlers atrocities and viewpoints (some even embraced them) it's only when Hitler became aggressively expansive on their territories when the world decided to step in...
And they didn't gaf when Spain was going through a civil war over the same shit. Hitler and Stalin both sent support for the side they were closer to, but just crickets from the rest of the western world, less than even the stern words Italy got for invading Ethiopia until the league of nations just dissolved because it was shown to be useless.
Some countries waited years after that to join in.
