You can only wonder what would have happened if the Nazi threat had been deemed unworthy of American sacrifice>

Well, one possibility, one espoused by Pat Buchanan (among others), is that the Nazis and the Communists would have wiped each other out, preventing a Cold War.

While the Commies and the Nazis were wailing on each other, we should have devoted FULL resources to attacking the Japanese; we would have finished them off much faster, IMHO.

Anything is possible. You think Stalin would have defeated Hitler without US support?

I think the Brits would have had a problem without US support.

Or do you think the negotiated agreement subsequent to their declaring war on us, would have allowed us to continue supporting Hitler's enemies?
