Just said such a choice could hardly be seen as befitting a neutral player.. Especially by side that we under the thin and risibly unconvincing cover of neutrality seek to hamper on diplomatic, economic, and outright military fronts by all peaks we can bring to bear for the benefit of their enemies
There was no reason for us to be neutral. The Japanese were killing endless numbers of Chinese. The Italians were using poison gas in Africa. Dachau was not a summer camp.
A country doesn't have the luxury of being neutral if it wishes to determine its own future with any certainty. If the Axis had been victorious because we failed to act Mexico might have faced the choices of fighting the Germans and Japanese or allowing them to land troops to attack the US heartland. I doubt the Axis would have left our neighbor to the south when they were allowed in.
