Franklin Delano Roosevelt speaks about the war 1939

[essillius]

Btw... my grandma says "uh-gain" too... it's so weird haha

[essillius]

lay off of the "teleprompaper" mr president! lol =p <3 FDR he's so brilliant

[mafia41171]

All you asswipes who keep saying shit about FDR, shut the fuck up! It is clear you are all Europeans hating on the American president as Americans hate european dictators such as hitler or Stalin. FDR did not do anything bad. I have seen comments where they wrote FDR destroyed Japanese-American lives in the US. He did no such thing. US was at war and Japanese had to have done the same with Americans. All those who hate FDR and say he fed the great depression and pearl harbor, that is bullshit

[Elberiver11]

Roosevelt and Churchill should both have been executed for massmurder, high treason, child-abuse, genocide and warcrimes.

[KungfuCow5]

@Elberiver11 FDR was good, Churchill an incompetent drunkard with a penchant for wild speeches and silly hats. To accuse them of child abuse is silly and to suggest they committed treason is foolish.

[Elberiver11]

Roosevelt provoked Japan into war, and started war on Germany on March 11th 1941.

This man is guilty of WW II, together with the mad killer Churchill. Official history is fraud. Both these man were BANKERS.

[KungfuCow5]

@Elberiver11 WWII started in 1939.

[KimKhan]

@Elberiver11 What are you going to say next, that they were both JEWS?

[francophilebreton]

Roosevelt was a bastard, a big bastard...He sold Europe to the communists... Freemason of shit

[Elberiver11]

@francophilebreton true

[pine829]

FDR is lying through his teeth. He was, at the time of this speech, working with the British government to find a way to get into the war. Further, he was already setting in place the policies that lead to Japan attacking Pearl.

[Elberiver11]

@pine829 you are correct!

[DarkStreamV1]

Bernard Baruch, leaves this body !!!!

[enterq18]

thanks weast for help Poland.

[douglaz67]

I am getting sick and tired of Eastern Europeans complaining Roosevelt sold them out because HE DID NOT! The USA WAS NOT IN THE POSITION TO DO MUCH ABOUT POLAND"S POSITION BECAUSE THE RED ARMY WAS IN POLAND ALREADY. THE US GOVERNMENT NEEDED USSR SUPPORT IN IT"S WAR AGAINST JAPAN.

[MaximusProteus]

@douglaz67 I`m sick of poor excuses, tryies to cover the crimes, lies, betrayals and plain stupidity of the "allied" leaders... FDR was not just surrounded by the soviet agents, he was foolish and naive enough to really trust in every of Stalin`s words. Or just he was a lying hypocrite. Polish goverment was recognised by every, except of axis, state and the recognition was changed for to soviet puppets over a night, despite the Atlantic charter or any other deal.

No, it needed two A bombs.

[kahetel13]

@MaximusProteus FDR was a co-conspirator in causing conflict with Japan and, knew Pearl Hrabor was to happen and in fact, instigated animosity with Japan (Japan was very friendly with the US. ) these are facts and readily obtainable. Maybe as due course of War itself (since there was a War ) we needed to use the A Bombs BUT, the chain of events that lead to that very War which culminated in the use of Atomic weapons was caused by us and our leader FDR.

[MaximusProteus]

@kahetel13 Whatever if he knew, he didn`t gave Japanesse orders to attack, nor the Germans and Italians to declare war, it was thier own mistake and they deserved thier fate. I don`t blame Roosevelt for defending his country, or supporting Britain. I blame him for a trechery of an allied state, violation of international agreements that he subscribed and unjustyfied support for a bloody regime that was his state`s competitor.

[kahetel13]

@MaximusProteus rofl what you just said in the last half proved what i said is correct:) THANKS

[MaximusProteus]

@kahetel13 Not quite, your sugession that the most bloody war in the human history was his idea makes a big difference, it`s simply absurd. We can agree in some points, but i`m still not sure if he was pure evil or plain dumb... but for the other hand USA emerged as a global power, next to the second one.

[kahetel13]

@MaximusProteus absurd? what fucking planet are you from??? because i am american and its common place even amongst whites from that time that they KNEW FDR had tons to do with this you asshole

[MaximusProteus]

@kahetel13 So you`re this kind of troll, i see. Begone!

[kahetel13]

@MaximusProteus a Polish asshole trying to tell me about my history and dare to call me a troll fuck you

[Qusza2007]

@douglaz67

When FDR kissed Stalin's butt in Teheran Soviet forces still struggled with germans on THEIR OWN territory and FDR didn't have ANY authority to decide behind other leaders back about future of thier own actions,

Najgorszy amerykański prezydent w historii , sługus oligarchii. Wciągnął własny naród w wojnę ,zniszczył ekonomię kraju.

[VVojtekSoldierBear]

@Mmkkw Hmm, której oligarchii? Nie wiem czy tak strasznie "wciągał", nie ważne czy to przemówienie jest tylko na pokaz, chyba nie sądzisz że powinien siedzieć cicho kiedy Japończycy zatopili im pół floty? Co do ekonomi i ogólnie kraju, to właściwie od kiedy skończyli z izolacjonizmem i zaczęli konkurować z upadłymi "imperiami" kolonialnymi, są bezkonkurencyjni... wielu to boli, ale faktem jest że od tamtej wojny Ameryka jest potęgą, tak jak i Moskwa.

[Mmkkw]

@VVojtekSoldierBear Nie zapominaj ,że od początku wojny USA była sojusznikiem Wlk. Brytanii i nie kryła się z dostarczaniem jej wsparcia ,choć co do przyczyny bezpośredniego wzięcia udziału w wojnie zapewne masz rację.

"Izolacjonizm" ,to pojęcie raczej polityczne ,Roosevelt przede wszystkim pogrzebał kapitalizm swoim New Deal ,ogromnie podniósł rolę i zwiększył prawa banków i korporacji. Niektóre rozwiązania były bardzo podobne do reform Mussoliniego ,zwłaszcza w kwestii podejścia do oligarchii

[VVojtekSoldierBear]

@Mmkkw Nie od początku, jeśli masz na myśli Lend Lease, a swój interes w tym też mieli. Moskwa jeszcze się nie spłaciła, ale Brytania chyba już oddała wszystko z tego, i Marshalla, programów.

Niestety mam nikłe pojęcie o wewnętrznych sprawach USA i polityce tego, albo innych, prezydentów, ale jeśli chodzi o międzynarodową politykę, to USA praktycznie w niej nie uczestniczyło do czasu drugiej wojny światowej.

[shiloh1944]

He sold Poland in Yalta to this barbarian stalin. Poland lost half of its territory including our beloved city of Lwow.

Stinking liar. He could deceive both Poles and Americans with straight face.

We shall never forget.

[ninsotq]

I believe that they didn't want to get involved in others affairs, and didn't want another WW1 on their hands. That's just what I think.

[granskare]

FDR had to contend with ppl who were isolationists...ppl like Lindbergh and today we see that again in the name of political power...Nice film !

[VVojtekSoldierBear]

@granskare - maybe i`m not up to date, but i can`t see US isolating at now.

FDR was idealist, i can understand that he didn`t wanted to drag his own nation into the war, nobody wanted another war.

[granskare]

isolationists were powerful in the 1930s, kinda on the radio constantly like rush limbaugh types...he knew war was coming and so had to move slowly and carefully...lend lease was one such effort that just made it thru the congress

[VVojtekSoldierBear]

@granskare - well, but they were also before, after WWI USA didn`t wanted even to join the League of Nations, which was actually founded by Woodrow Wilson.

I know about lend lease, even we participated in it, indirectly the Polish army in USSR (after Sikorski-Maiski treaty) and i`m not sure how that one in Britain or Middle East.

Anyways, i`ll have a video with submarines for Brits and Poles, if description is right, that was lend-lease. Thank You Uncle Sam :)

[ConservativeTimes]

@VVojtekSoldierBear Looking back now, war was obviously inevitable. But when the time was right to act, The U.S. did what it had to: total commitment.

[VVojtekSoldierBear]

I don`t want to make up here some alternative scnarios, the point is to put the speech of FDR in the historical context.

Obviously we`re all wiser after the lesson and FDR gives here a great speech on behalf of his nation. Than USA had no commitments and it`s like a voice of reason of a neutral watcher. It`s by no mean intended to neglate nor underestimate the 'future' contribution of US into the war.

[ConservativeTimes]

@VVojtekSoldierBear No sir, I didnt take it like that at all. It's a great piece of history. Thanks a lot for posting it...

[HankDrake]

the newsreel was published on September 14, FDR's speech was given on September 3.
