Firstly, Battle of Britain occurred before American intervention and declared war on Japan two months before Germany. The invasion of Europe didn't occur for another two years. Churchill proposed the notion of invading Europe, not America.

Also, the supply lines and military aid did not occur until after the Battle of Britain too. Congress still supported a natural stance until the American media, who were stationed in London, praised the bravery of Londoners during the Blitz. Then came Pearl Habour and the rest is history, excuse the pun.

Secondly, the Soviets were the first to reach Berlin. Thirdly, many American banks broke the Trading with the Enemy Act and supplied Hitler with billions of financial assistance.

In fact, the only thing the United States charged for the first few years of the war was 10% on everything we borrowed.

If you combine the total US debt owned by European nations, including British and French colonies, we are the biggest holders of American debt - it is you who owe us.

we had volunteer fighter pilots in that fight , remember, our country let our flyboys volunteer and transfer to be there. hmmm. forget about those guys?

remember, the only thing that matters is the truth, not what person A or B thinks about it. Even if we all bash the poster to no end, if he is right, he is right.

It was probly good to end the nazi scheme, an dbetter over there than here. Shadow government, yup, remember, thats the evil.

We might be wasting our time ladies and gentlemen.

just an admission that we are brothers and maybe a apology between us to work together and admit we are important to one another, and stop hating us,

that is all I want
all

these are sad times and apologize for my ranting
lets stand together

Not just Americans, others volunteered as well.

During the D-Day landings, many occupied nations supplied soldiers and supplies. Do you see them demanding thank you letters?

Plus, if I recall, 13,000 French soldiers and a naval blockade resulted in the British surrender of Yorktown - and the significant European volunteer force too. Majority of the Generals in the Contential Army were non-American.

Tadeusz Kościuszko, Gilbert de La Fayette or Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben - forgot about those guys?

P.S it is forgot not forget. Basic English

If we all took a look at whats at stake here, we would all see that it doesnt matter what side of the pond you are on, or what you beleive, or who saved who.
What is at stake here is freedom, here and there.
Like the op just suggested, how bout we all just stand together?

Well, you may be right. After all the OP will now have amassed enough ATS points by posting this rubbish.

I don't think either of us are smelling too fresh at the moment.
As for the avatar. It's the fabled Liverbird, the iconic emblem which is emblazed on the badges on Liverpool FC's shirts and which sits atop the Liver Buildings on Liverpools River Mersey. As for the justice for the 96. This explains everything better than I ever could.

A stupid police action killed 96 yet no one took responsibility.
Stay well my friend.

Understood, after watching.
I also see the police are just as stupid across the pond as they are here.
Take pride in that emblem, as im sure you already do.

Hi there.

Let's keep an eye on the ball here folks... The issue, not the members.

Now then...

Back to the topic at hand.

Noone really owes anyone anything. But if we work together as one we can overcome the current situation and makelife better for all people on the planet.

I find the 'jealousy' accusation not only maddening and genuinely arrogant but actually nonsensical.

America is the best country on the planet. You are all jealous of our standard of living, our way of life, our freedoms, and our power. When those that don't live here can't have what we have ... they want us destroyed.

Says you. Yeah, we are jealous of your obese population. Your dumb teenagers. Your squatter, rhyming music that's making your teenagers even more dumb. Your stupid, sugar loaded preteens. Your genetically modified selection of a gazillion kinds of cereal. Your 3 million prison population (that's 1% of your entire population. What a prestige!!! ) Your bland finger lickin' chicken that you export around the world. Your useless cars. Your unsecure Windows OS. The nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards (pity the children)...

You see, the demise of America is essential for the survival of humanity.

'Behold, I sit a queen, and shall see no evil...' The most powerful on earth, the richest, controls the world, has most of the wealth. And destroyed in one hour by a coalition of Russia and China. No, no, I am talking about a Bible prophesy of a 'Mystery Babylon', who did you think I was talking about? Come on.

Although i readily agree with just about everything you say, And NOT to have an argument, but what do the Phillipines contribute to the global well being?
And dont you guys use the same computers we do?
Ill be the first to tell you i know very very little about the Phillipines besides we have some bases there.
And we probably spread our virus like-culture there too.
Oh, and i remember the Phillipines warning us about 9-11 too.
But if there was to be a global "peaceful" alignment, where we lost all borders, and everything was set straight and fresh, like a whole new beginning, What would the phillipines bring to the table as far as exports to support the new global economy?

I would love to get a hold on that rubbish history book you are using? WE DID NOT INVITE OURSELVES INTO WW2. We were trying to help Britain and France out by decreasing the Japanese oil and metal supply...WE WERE TRYING TO HELP! It's not our fault they attacked Pearl Harbor because they are an island nation and relied on 80% of U.S. oil, and released that ever so powerful American patriotism. I'm not saying we won the war on our own either, but I would like to see Europe the way it is without the help of the U.S.
