jakee 1,379 #1678 June 14, 2015 RonD1120What will it take to get us pulling together again? For people like you to stop being so selfish? You talk and talk about unity but then you refuse point blank to compromise any tiny part of your own position. What makes you think there's a hope in hell of the whole country uniting behind you ideals?Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your memory might be failing you, but the US didn't get involved until after Pearl Harbour and they had war declared against them. Fair to say at that point they were your agressors as well.

kallend 1,853 #1692 June 15, 2015 RonD1120There is the fact that I was born in America and raised by American parents during WWII when America was defeating YOUR aggressors. 1. The USSR had more to do with defeating the Nazis than all other allies combined. 2. When Britain's need was greatest, in 1940, the USA sat on its metaphorical hands. 3. After Sept. 17, 1940 Hitler made no further plans to invade Britain. This was 14 months before Pearl Harbor. 4. Rommel had been defeated at El Alamein before a single US soldier landed in N. Africa. 5. The US provided 47% of the troops, 33% of the aircraft, and 25% of the naval vessels used on D-Day. Guess where the rest came from. 6. Your knowledge of history appears to be derived from Hollywood and is as poor as your knowledge of what are "American ideals".... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

kallend 1,853 #1694 June 15, 2015 cvfd1399So the outcome would be the same if the U.S. would have just kept sitting "on their hands" as you say. Got it. Hitler's fate was sealed on June 22, 1941. After that it was just a matter of time. Why would you expect continued sitting on hands after Germany had declared war on the USA, Dec 11, 1941.

jakee 1,379 #1696 June 15, 2015 RonD1120You have to tell me what you specifically find objectionable and what you are willing to give up to reach a compromise. That's not important, is it? I have no role in uniting your country, and I'm not continuously lamenting it's discord. You are though. You call for unity, but you're not willing to compromise on anything in the name of unity, and you mock the people who aren't united with you instead of trying to persuade them of your cause. So tell me, where is unity going to come from? What is it that you are doing to try and foster unity?Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who said I expected that? My question to you was would it have turned out the same if the U.S. would have not helped in europe. Care to answer that, or do you choose to use sarcastic redirects again.

billvon 2,772 #1698 June 15, 2015 >So the outcome would be the same if the U.S. would have just kept sitting >"on their hands" as you say. Got it. The US did, in fact, "sit on its hands" until it was directly attacked. So, to answer your question, yes, the outcome would have been exactly the same - because we, in fact, sat on our hands for as long as possible. (And I am certain that if the Internet had existed back in 1939, there would have been a very vocal faction posting "if we wait until we are attacked WE WILL LOSE!")
