Here are my two cents.
The U.S. did do stuff at the beginning. Who do you think supplied food and munitions to Britain and Russia during World War 2? Do you honestly think that while the Luftwaffe was bombing England, that they could repel a land invasion without U.S. support. And to be honest, the U.S. didn't do too much fighting, but what the U.S. did do was invade Italy. This forced Hitler to pull panzer divisions out of Russia/Eastern Europe. And yes, the Canadians helped, and the Australians helped as well. We didn't do much in the European Campaign. In the Pacific, the British were beaten out of Singapore. The Chinese tried to fight back, and U.S. pilots flew with them. The Australians helped. And the Russians helped just before the atomic bomb drops. The United States fought that war, pretty much by themselves though.
I have dual citizenship. I am a Spaniard, and an American. So lets bring Spain into it! We didn't do anything, Franco let the Luftwaffe practice bombing runs on cities with our cities.
You can also bring up the fact that the only reason England agreed to appease **** Germany in the beginning was because their Navy and Army wasn't ready, but they already began to fix that situation by that point.
Whom ever brought up the previous wars part listen to this. Any military historian would agree that one thing caused Americans to pull out of Vietnam. The media, it became an unpopular war through the news. They would also agree that the Tet Offensive was a last chance for the NVM. Korea was a victory, we split the country like it was intended. Communist north, democratic south. Iraq is a lot better, and Afghanistan is getting safer since Predator drones were allowed into Pakistani airspace. Look at every conflict in Central and South America, I see no problems there.
The world wouldn't spin if the U.S. wasn't in debt. Pretty soon you can buy Athens for $1.75USD on Ebay.com!
The United States did help slightly during 1939-1942, but the small help they did give was secretly sent to Canada and then was shipped to Britian. The majority of food and supplies the UK got in those first 3 years were Canadian made and Canadian grown.
Once Japan attacked the US and they entered the war they did alot more to help but at that time Canada had one of the best economies and it was fully dedicated to the war effort. Pumping out ships, tanks, planes and everything else needed to fight a war.
