I would call recognizing it pretty ardent support given that situation. Again how would the US view countries that supported a country that recognized a first nation country west of the mississippi. Would they be not exactly ardent supporters. Im pretty sure for me your moderate american christians would be to me fundamentalist and in the early days support can be counted in one way. Money. Its the same with terrorist groups today. All of them rely on funding from ultimately more legitimate sources. It may get washed in various way but they need the cash flow. Don’t get me wrong it had much more legitamacy given the whole start with the league of nations idea wise, but right off the bat the way the borders were unclear and changed from one interpretation to another it was a cesspool to start with and both europe and america should have just stopped in that region. I mean this crazy stuff goes back to the crusades and it was never a good idea to be there.
