My dad and uncles fought in Europe and the Pacific.
Next time maybe the Yankee should just stay home.
You might be still living in the Third Rich that would be all of Europe IDK ...
We have a defensible continent and a substantial nuclear arsenal.
We can raise a 20 million man military if we need to -- why should we sent it overseas?
Trump does have a point on NATO: Europe should bear the costs of its security. The US can offer allegiance, cooperation -- and if need be -- a nuclear shield. Europe needs to be a European problem to be solved by Europeans. I will be in Eastern Europe in a few weeks -- Putin better mind his manners -- LOL

we do not have to discuss this horrible part of the history.
I think be both know enough about it that there were many reasons for this war but also no excuses for the cruels hitler did.
but it is always like that that the written history is in favor of the winner and to understand the whole thing is a science today and a lot of scientiests on both sites of the atlantic still have many open questions.
the point about china in that game is, that in that time there was not ONE china and so nobody can really say who is the legit follower of a country what also was important to win the war in the pacific. from end of 1944 the chinese troups started to be successful against the japanese (yes with help from the US) but it is a fact that US and China had the same enemy and where fighting together.
also russian troups where fighting in China against Japan. So at the end of the day it was an alliance and the nuclear bomb what finished that drama. it was not a victory what USA could have without this helpers.
