This thread seems to bring out the paleo nutcases.

1. No America. No D-Day. Period. Only American money, numbers, and munitions made that possible. By itself, Britain could only manage a Dieppe, a Crete, or a Narvik.

2. No interest in Europe ? Had Hitler won the first flag on the moon would have had a swastika on it. Germany would have been a far more powerful geopolitical rival than the Soviet Union ever was.

3. Cost us the war in the Pacific ? More bilge. Japan simply did not have the resource or industrial base to stay abreast of American production. Or even close. America outproduced Japan navally by a factor of 16 to 1. Japan had noplace to go but down. Germany, on the other hand, had a very powerful industrial economy and a magnificent army that had to be collapsed from both sides to be beaten.

I agree with you there. We had to get involved.. Doing nothing means we would have more serious problems in future..
