In Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1941 State of the Union Address, he clarifies his position that neutrality is impossible by creating a dichotomy between the "new order of tyranny" and the "moral order." This contrast highlights the urgent moral imperative to oppose tyranny and support democracy and freedom, indicating that remaining neutral in the face of such threats is not a viable option. Neutrality implies indifference, but Roosevelt argues that the struggle for freedom and justice must be embraced, making neutrality morally unacceptable in the context of global conflict.
