And they said it in the context of “we Europeans”, taking it for granted that they speak for all of Europe.

Had the US not intervened in World Wars I and II, they would have!

They think this is so anyway, in spite of the results of those world wars, and that’s the problem.

The Second World War was not an intervention; Germany declared war on us.

“Had the US not intervened in World Wars I and II, they would have! “

Doubtful. The krauts were already fully fought to a stalemate in WWI, and were trapped by the British blockade. The only thing that let them hang on a little longer was when _they_ shuttled Lenin in a sealed train to Russia to unleash communism on the world and take Russia out of the war. But basically the story of Germany in WWI was they invaded into eastern France and essentially were held in a 60 mile band for the remainder of the war and fought to exhaustion and starvation at home.

WWII? Before Pearl Harbor, the Nazi army was already stopped at Moscow and the Soviets were in a counteroffensive. By the end of 42 Germany was stopped at Stalingrad. The Brits beat Rommel at El Alamein before we landed in North Africa in the Fall of 42. The rest of the war was a nearly continual fallback in the face of the Red army.

The Germans had no chance to ever prevail after fall of 42, even before we arrived. The Germans are doomed by their geography to lose every war they fight. And paradoxically, their Prussian blockheadedness also works against them.

German military prowess is far overstated.
