If you can’t comprehend facts and basic realities of our history, that is on you.

I never said a bad word about our great Brit allies. But, they had no capacity to beat back the Germans in Europe, as they were defending their island Nation from conquest.

The facts are clear that the US saved Europe’s bacon in WWII.

That takes nothing away from the Brits inventing a superior radar system, their common people victory at Dunkirk, and the Battle in the Air over Britain. But that was all in defending themselves. Without US assistance and manpower, Europe speaks German to this day. Simple reality.

You talk a lot like a liberal, with all due respect.

And you also use proof by repeated assertion, which is a logical fallacy. I think your opinion is clear already.

I also notice that you don’t bring God into the equation. Without God’s help on the side of the USA and UK, the national socialists could have done a lot more damage.

Thank you for that clarification. But with respect, it's incomplete. You imply that once the acute risk of German invasion of Britain had been averted, the British then put up the shutters and sat back while the US did the rest. When in fact the British continued to take a full and active part in the defeat of Hitler on the European mainland, right up to the final German surrender (and for that matter in the Japanese theatre also - Slim and the Burma campaign etc).

Nobody, certainly not me, is questioning that the US played the largest part in the eventual outcome. What grates is the apparent determination (and you're not alone in this among US commentators) to insist that the United States alone was responsible for the final victory, and the apparent difficulty in accepting that it was a shared achievement. And once again the Soviet/Nazi war is by implication dismissed as of no account.

Oh, and I make one apology. A brain fade made me give the wrong figure for British casualties. The military casualties were 384,000 (and let's not forget the 40,000 each from Canada and Australia, plus many others from throughout the British Commonwealth).
