Whatever it was the US did, our leadership saved both of you from all of that. Which is the only reason either of you are now free to bith about it on the internet.
Although America's role in WW2 was vital, and everyone is grateful that it eventually joined the fight, I'd like to add: "It's because of the men and women of many European and Pacific countries, who were dieing in the treches long before the American's joined the war that us ungrateful assholes can get on the internet and moan about it."

Would you and your girlfriend prefer to be living in a Nazi or communist totalitarian utopia? Or, how about a nuclear wasteland? Whatever it was the US did, our leadership saved both of you from all of that.
I can see a lot of irony in the words "good leadership", and "nuclear wasteland" here. The Nazi's (or communists) would never have prevailed, invading and occuping a country is one thing, keeping control of it is another.

No, it was actually quite real.
Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.
I'm not saying the USSR did not have nukes. I am saying they had no plan for global domination.

Well, not really. Judgement day is coming and we will all answer individually for everything we've done. As far as the 'I told you so' that's for the ones that don't believe it's coming.

First, global domination was the central point of communism from its very inception. Second, the Soviet Union was the heir apparent of European imperialism. The notion that they had 'no plan' for global domination is too absurd to even debate. It would have been an historic inevitability, and only a deluded, gullible, poorly read fool would contend otherwise.

That's called a weak man argument. I said 'most' and you assume I said 'all', choose one example that disproves the statement I did not make, and assume I have been shot down in flames. Only people with nothing to back themselves up, resort to such tactics.

The US did at least as much as the USSR to bring the world to the brink of nuclear war.
Why, I wonder, when the U.S. was the only nation with nuclear weapons, didn't the Pentagon just charge right in and bomb the shit out of the USSR? If you think the Russians wouldn't have taken advantage of that kind of technological superiority, I suggest you check your impressions with eastern Europeans.

Obviously, the military industrial complex would have been opposed to such an easy victory... :rolleyes:

No, they are an essential, effective and unavoidable reality in the modern world.
