As Ukrainian submarine drones strapped with explosives approached the Russian fleet, they “lost connectivity and washed ashore harmlessly,” Isaacson writes.

This sounds like treason to me. This needs to be investigated, we can't have a private citizen fucking the Ukrainians like this.

Anti-immigrant, Antisemitism, pro-European (German) political groups were reasonably popular in the 1920s and 1930s.

Fringe? Yes. But so are the far-right "Jews will not Replace Us" marchers today.

Upon the onset of Republican Spain, the USA's official stance was to remain neutral and isolated despite the rise of Nationalist (aka: pro-Nazi) Spain in the Spanish Civil War of 1930s. It is against this backdrop that the German-Nazis were rising as a powerhouse (fighting in Spain, gaining valuable wartime experience), and spreading fascism across Europe.

While the German-American Bund never reached "mainstream", the more "neutral" Christian Front welcomed the German-American Bund and joined forces as a pro-German political group.

In any case, the Madison Square Garden pro-Nazi Rally (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1939_Nazi_rally_at_Madison_Square_Garden) had over 20,000 pro-Nazis join, which is far more than the modern "Unite the Right" rally achieved. And remember, there were far fewer people living in the USA back then than today (population growth is crazy)

This shit has been going on for fucking decades. Just don't underestimate the threat or undercurrent of antisemitism in our society.
