“The US won World War I and II”.
Absolute bollocks.
The Spanish Flu won World War I. The US showed up at the 11th hour. (My grandfather was in training in NY when his barracks died from the flu… only he and another boy survived).
The allies won World War II. The US showed up late to the war, and made BANK selling weapons. Producing the industrial might that pushed the US into global preeminence. Because every other nation was in ruins. More Soviets died in combat than any other nation. And men AND women fought the Nazis. And died by the millions.
