in fact the russians' poor showing in the winter war (against finland) encouraged the germans.

"In this Forum ..I've observed a common defence employed by Americans against Europeans mouthing off about the USA's current political karma (Bush et al): the observation that if it hadn't been for the USA, they'd all be speaking German now--suggesting that the critical moment of WW2 was the USA's decision to get involved."

.. i ...[text shortened]... th or without "In this Forum"😉 for me and explain how I should not be insulted as an American.
I'm an American and I am not offended in the least. It is entirely true that I have seen several other Americans make this claim in this and other forums. I am taking common defense to mean that multiple people, not neccesarily all Americans, use it. I have heard it several times, so it is true. He isn't involving Bush in this at all, he is just talking about retarded associations others have made before. He has not demeaned America, just some of our less historically knowledgable citizens who keep claiming that we basically won WWII by ourselves.
