@dosplaybox- What country do you call home? @klytos- Friend we have a difference of views obviously. The Soviets lost 20 million men fighting the Germans vs the US at 400000. Without supplies from the USA the Allies wouldn't have won. The Germans invaded Russia and broke the Warsaw pact because Hitler was a Egomaniac bent on Aryan Supremacy, that and he need the oil from the Caucasuses. The the War was won as an Allied invasion of France, with the Soviets coming in from the East. If the Soviets hadn't turned the tide at Stalingrad/St. Petersburg then who knows what would have happend.
Also to refer to an earliar comment about the USA speaking French due to their help the American Rev War that help didn't come till 1781 towards the end of the war. If GB had wanted to they could have crushed us, but had other interests in their Empire around the Globe. They could have done it again during the War of 1812. Chadly
P.S. This isnt a free for all on how The USA is the greatest country in the World, but frankly it is!:)
All joking aside their is much to be learned from history and those who don't study it are forced to repeat it.
The USA has many faults but many great things about it as well.....Nuff said.
