HOWEVER, it’s of course taken from Tolkien’s source material, when a call to action WAS valid. The Nazis were starting to build in numbers, and nations around it should have stepped in sooner.

Neocons and warhawks always like to appeal to WW2's appeasement era when talking down to the less-bloodthirsty in regards to military intervention, so it wouldn't be the first time. They've been equating Iran to Nazi Germany as far back as the Ahmadinejad presidency, for example. I imagine the same was true about Saddam Hussein's Iraq.
