There is so much wrong with your post. I must tell you to read up on world history.

Phuck America
Thanks anyway, but maybe you could tell us where you are from so that we might let you know what you owe us.
Yes, I said OWE. World War II was a turning point in world history and the United States of America made the turn go the RIGHT way.
If not for us, you would likely be speaking German, Italian or Japanese, depending on what country you are from. OR you may never have been born, your parents or grandparents may well have died in a concentration camp.
You are welcome.
Your talking rubbish! America only came into the war near the end (1941). Britain, France, the Soviet Union, China, Canada, Australia and others played a huge part, and yes, so did America, but America did not win the war!
Yes without the US it would have all been lost im sure, but to elevate the US in this manner above other countries and to say, "We won the war" is preposterous. You HELPED, nothing more.

Pardon me, I forgot to thank the Brits for destroying the Japanese Navy in the Pacific. OOPS, wasn't them. (Their Pacific Fleet being sunk by the Japanese was the reason that Singapore fell.)
Maybe it was the glorious Chinese Navy that did that. OOPS AGAIN.
Was it the Russians? No, they didn't really get involved in the Asian theater until WE dropped the nukes on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And to address another point, your glorifying the Russians on their contributions, they had a non-aggression pact with the Germans which held until Operation Barbarossa began! They, instead of helping Poland, rushed in from the east and took over sections of Polish land.... yeah, that was helpful. They fought the war with the help of American equipment and supplies....Lend/Lease.
And to say that we 'sat on our laurels' until we were attacked..... We were shipping valuable goods and food to Britain well before we entered the war. I guess that wasn't any help...

Hello in there! Tap, tap, tap.
How do you suppose your war with Germany would have played out without us?
Your country would have starved to death, then Hitler's minions would have walked right in without a shot being fired.
More than likely, your country would have sued for peace, and welcomed the Nazis when they came in and fed you.
Have you ever seen the pictures of the Nazis rolling and marching into Paris? They were greeted with smiles, flowers and bottles of wine. Cheered, they were. Do you remember that the French soldiers declined evacuation from Dunkirk, all because the boats offered were too small or undignified for their tastes. Good thing they were helping you out there in the war, eh?
I get it quite well. Do you think that all those bombs that were dropped at night by your Lancaster bombers were filled with British explosives? You didn't have the raw materials to defend yourselves, much less actually carry the war to the Germans.
BTW: Where was your grand nation when Hitler annexed Czechoslovakia?
OOOOH, that's right, your Prime Minister brokered the deal and proclaimed, "peace for our time".
Munich Agreement

I have been defending they US over China in this arguement, but your statements are rediculous, self-rightous and bordering on delusional. Ill gladly ally with the US before any communist country, but people like you honestly make me wonder if your worth it.
Yes, I said OWE. World War II was a turning point in world history and the United States of America made the turn go the RIGHT way.
US companies owned all the sugar plantations and refineries in Cuba up until the takeover of the Batista government by Fidel Castro.

The delusional part is where you claim the US is the only reason the Allies won WW2, instead of everyone playing a role. And your right, we WILL see who the Chinese eat. They already practically own your country. In 10 years thier military will be rivaling your own with many times more the manpower to run it. Have fun with that!edit on 18-11-2010 by nightbringr because: (no reason given)
The ones that preferred to stay and lick Nazi boots rather than evacuate to Britain from Dunkirk don't count very much in your argument.
I supose you would have had the French welcome the Germans with their middle fingers? That would have gotten those doing it killed, nothing more.

And i suppose you, in all your bravery would walk up to the German occupying forces and ask them to shoot you in the head? I would suggest waving politely and then forming an underground resistance like was done to fight them off. Hey, if suicide is your thing tho, go for it!

The French who could have left and didn't, they made a choice to stay behind to lick Nazi boots.
And what do you do? Question my bravery. Then call me suicidal.
