America built the Royal Navy and the Royal Air force? I never knew that!

“America built the Royal Navy and the Royal Air force? I never knew that!”

To the tune of $31 billion or so under the Lend-Lease act.... Sort of, yeah.

UK just finished paying us for WW-II in January.

You really are under the delusion that Great Britain stood alone against the Axis and won? Really?!! Funny, I seem to remember 50 lend-lease destroyers, American ships in convoy before December 1941, millions of tons of supplies to your island and much more. Not to mention 13 million Americans under arms, petroleum, tanks, ships, food, ammunition and etc... Remembering now?

Absent participation of the US in world war II, how long do you think it would have taken the Japanese Imperial Navy to destroy the Royal Navy and the Royal Air force with the help of the Luftwaffe? Pearl Harbor saved the world, make no mistake about it. After Dunkirk the Brit Army essentially had no weapons. And without us they would have had essentially no raw materials. If the Germans had crossed the channel they would have been finished. And all the Germans needed to cross the channel was the Japanese fleet, configured say like the one they sent to Midway. The Brits and the world can be glad the Japs got involved with us in the Pacific.
