They escaped - no scare quotes - by their own efforts. America truly had nothing to do with it. You appear to be off your head.

And Great Britain ‘escaped’ the power of Nazi Germany by dint of the power of the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force. Is it your contention that America conferred these upon Great Britain? If so, I have news for you - the British created them.

America didn’t join the war until long after Hitler had given up on Operation Seelowe - the invasion of Britain. Don’t like it? Tough, those are the facts.

And America didn’t join the war to save Britain, or even Poland. America joined the war after being attacked at Pearl Harbor. Don’t like it? Too bad: history is not on your side.

Wow. Talk about revisionist history!

Please send back the $34+ Billion that we gave to your country. I think that would be close to a half trillion in today’s dollars. The blood we spilled to save your hides is priceless.

Too bad: history is not on your side.

If it were in my power to apologize for these statements by my fellow Americans, I would.

The remark "weak, soft, soon-to-be defeated asses" is especially egregious, and arrogant. The Brits were as brave and noble a people during WWII as have ever existed, anywhere.

You must have overlooked the fact Hitler declared war on us, but before that hundreds of our fighter pilots were flying missions out of Southern England in defense of the UK.

Actually, we joined in Europe after Hitler declared war on us. Some say that was his biggest mistake. If he hadn't Roosevelt would have been hard pressed not to put our entire effort into fighting Japan.

And God bless the U.K. & Churchill.
