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

How do you think the war would have played out without England (had the best airforce in the world) and Russia? Do you think that the mighty usa woould have defeated germeny without the help of russia and the UK? If you think this, then you are delusional. WW2 was a huge effort from not just one country.
England would have never given up, in fact, thats why hitler stopped the bombings on the uk because of our stuburn resistance.The sad fact is this. You are so wrapped up in this American patriotism, which i find creepy to be honest. While me, i look at world war two, and im thankful for all the countries who had a hand in defeating germany and japan.

Kinda bypassed that question about Czechoslovakia, didn't you?
Europe had Germany right where they should have been after the Treaty of Versailles. Then along came Adolph Hitler and they left him have everything that he wanted including several countries and trampling the Treaty of Versailles into the ground.
They helped him do it with the Munich Agreement and left him rebuild his military forces that were emasculated by the Treaty of Versailles.
I guess they reaped what they had sown. The thing is, the US got to reap it too. Here is how much.
COST OF WAR
$288,000,000,000 — cost to U.S.
$212,336,000,000 — cost to Germany
$111,272,000,000 — cost to France
$93,012,000,000 — cost to Soviet Union
$49,786,000,000 — cost to Britain
$41,272,000,000 — cost to Japan
$1,600,000,000,000 — direct economic costs of WWII

Yes, that's right, the US didn't turn the tide of the war. The UK did.
Yes, just me. I normally am.

With your inviting tone and decorum I'm sure that he will
do as you've asked while he skips down to street towards the library with
a happy smile along the way...

You may note that the last sentence in that post starts off with a word that is a violation of the board T&C's.
You should keep backing that up.
Originally posted by butcherguyRead the facts. Look at numbers as in how many ships the US launched in the war, how many planes we built and how many tons of material we shipped during the war. Those were American men, women and children that were working and sacrificing to make it happen.
Originally posted by butcherguyI take offense to the _ _ _ _ _ America statement, I have given my reason why.

Thanks for the post, it was a good one.
I have tried to keep my posts on the facts of the matter.
I hate to say it, but it is my belief that, at the end of World War Two, The United States could have beaten any country left on Earth militarily. We did no such thing, and I am glad for that! I said that the US turned the tide of the war, and I will stand behind that statement.
Rant finished, please excuse me.

Originally posted by SLAYER69Nobody has the right to apologize for me for my actions, thinking and beliefs. suffice it to say if someone is going to write a thread and just slam the US for it's deeds without a proper rebuttal then so be it. Recognize it for what it is a US SLAM-FEST. Meanwhile a proper thread would not have posted scenarios out of context.
The fact you just stated this doesn't also mean
Originally posted by SLAYER69I too see things the US has done wrong that needs to be addressed. This however doesn't mean that we are the only ones nor does it mean that Americans are ignoring the truths.
Not at all, I made it very clear. It is my belief. I believe that my statement is backed up by fact. I also said that the US did not do that, and that I was glad for that. So you don't need to try and put words in my mouth, I was clear enough.
Whats the point of that statement? Who cares if they could? My dick is bigger than your dick?
Hell, i think Canada lost more troops than the USA.
