America Did Not Win WWII in Europe
.
If you believe Hollywood, America just marched into Europe and kicked the crap out of the Nazis. Game over. We won.
That was always a fantasy and sadly it has badly colored our foreign policy to this day.
For example, of the 376,000 casualties on the Italian front alone only 31% were Americans. The rest were British Empire troops, Poles, Canadians and more.
On the Eastern Front, Russia crushed Germany and was marching on Warsaw and Berlin before a single soldier landed at Normandy.
It was and is an illusion that America is this vast Superpower. We just barely held our own in Korea and were defeated in Vietnam and Afghanistan. As a bonus we cannot even defend our own borders.
Now we pretend we can bully powers like Russia and China.

The USA no more 'won' the war than did the ussr. American industrial might played a large part in the war ending how and whether did. One could say quite honestly the one of the initiators of the war was also a winner. But Stalins win doesn't readily transfer as a win for the peoples of the soviet union.
Whether should be where.
And the war in Ukraine, which WE are bankrolling.. Its only money (paper really)m BUT we are sending weapons and munitions over like there is no tomorrow. ALL from our "stock". Stock that is being rapidly depleted and will take YEARS to rebuild. IF we are attacked now, all we really have as a "deterrent" is our nuclear stock, which (apparently) we would never think of using (would we?) but Russia has no such qualms....
well put
