Democracy, freedom, etc. Plus if it weren't for us the rest of the world would be speaking German right now.(Twice)

Democracy is, I agree, a good thing, but I don't think it fixes all of this world's problems.

About Hitler, there was, and is, a lot of propaganda about how the US was forced to join to save the world. Some is true, and some isn't.
But I have studied WWII in detail, and I am pretty sure that Hitler would have been defeated without the US. I am not saying he was not a threat, or downplaying his power, but when the US joined, the war had progressed to a point where (in my humble opinion) the German army was doomed to fall to Russia. Hitler had attacked Russia, and was stuck there into the winter, which destroyed much of the Soviet army.

And (also in my humble opinion) Stalin was just as power-hungry as Hitler, and his army was similar strength.
If you look at the numbers, Stalin had way more people killed than Hiler.

why should we join Stalin in fighting Hitler, instead of letting them both fight it out?

Remember "Fat Man" and "Little Boy"? Yeah, that was us, the greatest nation on God's green earth

I know the nicknames, but I think that there is a lot in the whole story that was done out of politics and wanting power, instead of the claimed "love for humanity"

Have you heard the saying:
"the winners write the history books"

In my opinion the only opinion that matters is America’s opinion and everyone else be damned
Mi5ail

Propaganda is a very powerful weapon that countries use against their own people.

I am not a conspiracy theorist, but I think it is undeniable that the US government at least slants facts to their own advantage.

I also know of times when they have flat out lied, but I probably shouldn't get into that since I don't have the evidence in front of me.

Mi5ail

Why do you have that opinion though?

And the fact that Dan would snap u out of existence
Mi5ail

Dan??

donald_h1

The USA didnt acquire any more land after the war. We weren't in it to get more power, we were in it to kick ass and take names.

Mi5ail

Donald?

Terorizer
Dan is different than Donald Dan blinks and countries disappear Donald blinks and stones fly at him
Mi5ail

The US did not acquire land, I agree.
But, they did scare the majority of the world into agreeing with them.

Terorizer
That is called putting the fear of god into people and make examples of the ones that step out of line
Terorizer
Like Germany

The fact that u dont know who Dan the army man is means that the current country u reside in is inferior. End of discussion, the United States of America and capitalism are superior to the rest of the world

Well, I am in Africa, and my name is not on this site, and I am going through a vpn, and my connection is set up to make tracking difficult

I think I am okay

I think it is not a good idea to have an opinion unless you know the facts that support it.
