The Americans only joined the party when most of the fighting was over already and afterwards and until today try to steal the cake. Also strange to see both countries these days are getting closer to being authoritarian states themselves day by day. |
First off, half the dang world did business with Germany prior to the War breaking out. Shoot, there wouldn't have BEEN a War if the great powers of Europe hadn't basically stood by and let it happen. Second, the US joined almost precisely in the middle of the War. Third, the US suffered comparable military deaths by all causes compared to the UK and France. The only Ally who suffered significantly more casualties was Russia, who suffered them primarily because Russia forced their troops to charge ill equipped into a meat grinder. And China, but there were a lot of other factors there. The US did its part, we spilled our blood for nations that weren't our own. We weren't there for the Battle of France, but we were sure as hell there for D-Day, the Battle of the Bulge, Operation Market Garden, and the fall of Germany. And lastly, only a disrespectful prick would use the tragic and destructive events of World War II as a podium to take political pot shots, disrespecting and downplaying the heroism and sacrifice of those who gave their lives for the sake of making a cynical point.
How's that for some inconvenient truths.
