Who taught YOU history? You just said it yourself, America all but bankrupted Britain by demanding cash on the barrelhead for everything. We couldn't even extend credit, due to the isolationists in Congress. Big help WE were, until Lend-Lease was finally passed.

And the Lend-Lease deal was no bargain for Britain. We sent them a bunch of worn-out old four-piper destroyers, some of which barely made the Atlantic crossing. The Brits had to cannibalize some to keep the others seaworthy.

You claimed we didn’t help and make it like we didn’t do anything. That’s like one of those old Soviet or Howard Zinn smears against us. We did the 50 destroyers deal, a casus belli if there ever was one. Shipped massive amounts of arms after Dunkirk, escorted convoys, took over occupying Iceland, helped track U-Boats.
