Original post by KomnenosIt is often said that the Soviets won WWII for the allies, and that American's are stupid for believing they played a pivotal role on the European front.
This may be a fair criticism, from a military point of view. In a political sense, though, the US did play the role of savior to Western Europe.
It was the US that ensured Western Europe would develop into prosperous, liberal, democracies by preventing Soviet influence from spreading West.
You can all whinge on about the US being evil imperialists, but the fact of the matter is that they ensured the survival of your way of life. As much as you may hate it.
Edit:
Whoops, I forgot that all the left-wing, "internationalist", self-hating, youth on here hate their own country and hate the fact that it doesn't resemble Venezuela. My bad.
Hah. The negs really blew up on this one.
