I never said it was Serbia that played "pivotal role" in defeating Germany.
But USA would have never defeated Hitler single handedly and don't give yourselves too much credit. It was USSR that gave the deadly blow to Hitler. USA jumped in after that.

But you did not help USSR, you helped yourselves and all of the free world by sending supplies to USSR.
You defeated Japan by nuking it. That was your only chance, since you would have lost like hell had you invaded them.

you make it sound like we gave him a birthday present. and your dead wrong. uncle joe was screaming for those supplies. without them your red Army gets castrated !!!! he was screaming for any kind of help. Hitler was kicking his a** right up between his shoulders.

This supply route was absolutely vital to the Russians if they were
to hold out against the Nazi offensive. Without the Allied ships
that made the voyage with products from the American war arsenal,
the Russians may well not have beaten back the German invasion.
get your story and history straight.

and your shooting in the dark about Japan to. matter a fact you ain't even close

And the USSR helped themselves to satellite nations. Which was more brutal and oppressive?

I couldn't say it better myself, namvet.

We could have won against Japan, it'd be hard, and we'd lose many men, and so would the Japs. We chose the quick and easy route though. Why waste so many of our men's lives at the expense of civilians who, if wouldn't have died in the invasion, there would be an equal or greater amount who did instead of them.

We never had that mindset, because we're part of the New World, not the Old World where the boldest and biggest win. Nowadays, the smartest and quickest win. One of the reasons man beats ape too.
