Except he didn't John.
Let's get the actual history straight.
Hitler declared war on Poland in 1939 because of escalating Polish behaviour against the German minority of Poland (the Polish rejected his peace overtures because of the British unlimited alliance with them and because they believed they'd roll over the Wehrmacht and occupy Berlin to 'cheering crowds' [we know this from Birger Dahlrus who was in the room with the Polish Ambassador Lipski during the last negotiations]). Britain and France then declared war on Germany for doing so.
The French then launched the massive Saar Offensive against the German West Wall only to be confounded by the collapse of Poland; then retreated back behind the Maginot Line while British and French propagandists created the myth of the Phony War to 'explain' what had happened and cast themselves as the 'unprepared victims' not the aggressors who had hoped to launch a two fronted full-scale invasion of Germany.
The British were then wrong footed by the Germans who somehow realised that the British were about to invade and occupy neutral Norway and Sweden within days (Plan R2) so the Germans pre-empted them to secure their flank; with the British again turning this into propaganda about 'saving Norway' (Operation Wilfred, which used the exact same forces that were already prepared for Plan R2) when in fact they planned to invade and occupy both Norway and Sweden.
Then after the French-British had once again turned down peace offers by Hitler; Hitler launched the invasion of France (using Benelux as a distraction) and the French surrendered. The British were then offered a white peace (repeatedly) and Churchill simply refused; Hitler launches the battle of Britain half-heartedly and then re-directs focus to the Battle of the Atlantic to blockade Britain in order to get Churchill to accept a peace deal.
Hitler is then forced to invade Yugoslavia because the Yugoslav government that is about to ally with him is successfully couped by British intelligence and then because Mussolini picks a fight with the Greeks (this dates back to the 1910s/1920s) and loses; Hitler is forced to invade Greece as well, expel the British forces from Greece and Crete then send the DAK to North Africa as well because Mussolini's Italians aren't remotely ready for a war.
Hitler then launches Operation Barbarossa in June 1941 to pre-empt a forthcoming Soviet invasion that is believed to have been planned for 1941 or 1942 and begins the war to liberate Europe from Communism; he is only stopped in late 1941 by British equipment arriving to the Battle of Moscow in late 1941 and the Sorge Telegram.
While FDR wins the election in 1940 on 'Non-Intervention' pledge but then immediately does everything he can to try and start a war with Japan (his oil embargo which stops Japan launching Kantokuen; the Japanese invasion of the Soviet Union in September 1941 and causes the Japanese to prepare Pearl Harbor instead) and illegally declares the Atlantic 'American Waters' and begins having the US navy illegally attack German submarines operating there while also trying to force through lend-lease support for the British and the Soviet Union.
So no 'Hitler wasn't declaring war on everyone' at all.

The scummy quack Ursula says the explosion of the naval drone in Constanța is “a direct consequence of Russia’s war.” We’re waiting for the thermonuclear fool to call the upcoming explosion of EU headquarters in Brussels by Ukronazis “Kremlin aggression.”
PS: This isn’t a hint!
I remember seeing this in the theater back before I was properly educated on history. My time and money lost to propaganda.
This movie is just a jew's wet dream.

🇺🇸🇨🇦 SHOCK TO U.S. DEFENSE GIANTS: Canada May Slash F-35 Order, Turn to Sweden’s Gripen Fighters
Canada is considering a major shift away from U.S. defense dependence by cutting its planned F-35 purchase and acquiring Swedish Gripen fighter jets instead.
Reports suggest Ottawa could buy around 30 F-35s and 60 Gripens, while Saab has proposed building aircraft in Canada and creating thousands of jobs. The move follows Canada's decision to select Saab’s GlobalEye surveillance aircraft over competing American bids.
If approved, it would mark one of the biggest defense procurement shifts in modern Canadian history.
