Over to you AI:

'The Blitz, a sustained, nine-month bombing campaign, failed to break British morale or cripple its war industry.,'

And;

'No, the United States did not end the Blitz. It ended primarily because Adolf Hitler redirected his air forces (the Luftwaffe) to the Soviet Union for the upcoming invasion, Operation Barbarossa. '

AI Overview
The U.S. played a critical role in saving Britain during World War II by providing essential supplies, economic support, and military personnel. Through the Lend-Lease program (March 1941), the US provided over $30 billion in food, raw materials, and weaponry before and during active involvement, ensuring Britain could withstand the Nazi threat and avoid economic collapse.

Who has said otherwise?

Again:

''No, the United States did not end the Blitz. It ended primarily because Adolf Hitler redirected his air forces (the Luftwaffe) to the Soviet Union for the upcoming invasion, Operation Barbarossa. '

You in the way you talked about Iraq as your big example. You talk like we should kiss your ass for it and it makes all even forever in some way?? We never quit being there for you and nato and we can’t even use airspace.

What I said about ww2 is true can you prove the ai statement wrong?

$30 Billion in 1940 = $700 Billion today adjusting for inflation. The UK was basically bankrupt, without food and weapons. Had it not been for US support the British would be speaking German. Not recognizing the role of the US [or reducing it in any way] in WWII, is really a sign of ingratitude, and is like if Ukranians in 50 years time forget with whose support they are fighting off Putin.

It had been at 9%. (follow me, little feller). In 11 months he took it down to 3 or 4 or whatever. Relative to 9, that is 'virtually' no inflation. It. has NEVER been zero, you see. Relatively he was correct. You must hate Trump.

Economists disagreed.

It lets us know they won’t be there for us ever, with this new liberal mindset and leaders. The world was a safer, better place before the woke mentality took over and patriots and logic took a backseat. I guess we can pack all of our stuff up, ship it home and leave. We need allies that do their part.

Right. Hitler pivoted.

All of the liberals, every last one of them, are all for the wrong things. They can defend nothing to any degree. No Police? Let illegal people live here? Let people vote without proof? Get money from the successful? Depend on govt to support them? Preach that a man can become a woman?. If I were a lib and read this, I would not feel good about myself.

Maybe you should learn to read Mike. The example of Iraq (the Gulf War) was a repudiation that NATO wouldn't come to the aid of the US. - It has already done so. - No ass kissing required. Just stating a fact.

NATO is a defence alliance. Not a 'follow a mad US president into an illegal war alliance.'

Not because of the US Sherlock.

Sir, we won the battle of Britain and endured the Blitz, which failed to break British morale or cripple its war industry.

It’s not even close who has helped protect who, you left out so much I said to try and make this stupid statement. What defenses do you have without us,how will the new world order be for you? I don’t think reality is sitting down on you yet just stupidity.

FFS learn from history Mike. The days of Empires are over. Stupidity is firmly in your camp, not mine.


I predict a stronger Europe as a result of the mess your president has caused. - Leave NATO already. You're a liability.


NATO without the US is far from impotent, with more than a million troops and modern weaponry at its disposal from the 31 other countries in the alliance. It also has the wealth and technological knowhow to defend itself without the US, analysts say.

The US and Germany are the biggest contributors to NATO’s military budget, civil budget and security investment program, at almost 16% each, followed by the UK at 11% and France at 10%, a NATO fact sheet says. Analysts say it wouldn’t take much for Europe to make up for the loss of Washington’s contribution.
