Graham 'Baka yaro'

You didn't denigrate the Canadians, British nor the New Zealanders, etc, etc. So how is it they would be relevant to my response to you? However, if your ungrateful comment had been directed at any of them, I would have responded similarly.

On your other point, a threat in the Pacific is hardly a grounds for entering a war in Europe.

I get the impression that even though the US involvement would have meant Western Europe's subjugation to tyrannical powers, twice over, you would be perfectly happy because it would satisfy your penchant for Russian and German.

But, I understand your mindset all to well - certainly anything would be better than having your skin saved by those successful Americans.
