Saying it was a Nazi problem doesn’t allow for criticism of the US, & Fenton implies WWII was our fault.
There's some *really* strong projection going on there. I said or implied nothing of the sort. And please at least do me the courtesy of spelling my name correctly.
Oh gosh, no. WWII was mainly a multilateral institutions problem. It's arguable that WWII started when Japan marched out of league of nations after invading China, making war with the US inevitable in the East. And in the West, no EU or NATO to keep the peace...
It's also entirely arguable that WWII started in 1914, when the lack of multinational institutions and the opaque web of bilateral treaties meant that a) there was no way to stop WWI at international level and b) we failed to institute equitable ones in 1919...
Which lesson are we to draw? The League of Nations, granddaddy of multilateralism, preceded the Second World War, the costliest war ever. Why not consider *that* the lesson?
Because after the failure of an international order *designed* to be weak (the League), 70m more folk had to die before we finally realised that we had to create stronger institutions. Result: 75 years of (relative) peace, apart from some land wars in Asia (that we mostly lost).
