You have your history a bit wrong.  WWII was always going to be won by the side with Russia on it.  What America did was prevent the rest of Europe from falling to Communism by building the atomic bomb. 

At the time Bin Laden was a mujahideen, and great ally of the US. Then the US invaded Kuwait.  Bin Laden believed that the Iraq-Kuwait situation should have been dealt with by Muslims, and that western forces had no business being in the gulf.  This is the event that caused Bin Laden to drop his ties with the US and become a terrorist.

errrr lol... yeah germany was losing to russia... cause they had the western front. Without US support, the UK would have dropped and germany could have reallocated resources to fight russia... moreover, without the US, Russia would have had to deal with Japan. And what are you talking about with the atomic bomb... that came after the end of the war in europe, it has nothing to do with anything....

OMG the US invaded Kuwait..... you mean Iraq I hope no? the US never invaded Kuwait... they liberated it from the invasion Sadam had just lead a few weeks before.... and that was with support of the saudis and all the others (muslim countries were favorable to the western forces liberating Kuwait, as getting Kuwait would have given too much weight to Iraq with the oil).

Well, on the A-bomb issue, I think he may mean that us having it indimidated the USSR sufficiently that they did not try to invade more of Europe than they did, and by the time they had a remotely comparable nuclear arsenal NATO was strong enough to keep keeping them at bay.  But I'm not saying I necessarily agree with this analysis. 

But as for "WWII was always going to be won by the side with Russia on it":  ridiculous.  The USSR was a powerful force to be sure, but don't let the sheer numbers fool you.  We (the Allies but especially the USA) were totally propping them up.  There were more American trucks in Russia than Russian ones, and that is only an example of the ridiculous amount of material we were providing them with.  And the Allied invasions in the west were the only thing that let the USSR turn the tide on their front. 

"WWII was always going to be won by the side with the USA on it" would be a more accurate statement.
