No, we would have lost. Equally the Russians did more than the Americans.
We will never know. I personally believe that the Allies would have won without the USA. But as I said, it would have been a longer and harder war.

Farage hates the EU and didn't like the idea of another country wanting to join it. That's why he keeps going on about 'being Putin's friend'
When did he say that?

I do wonder how we'd get on if we went to war these days. Presumably the immigrants would go and fight the battles that lazy Brits can't be arsed to fight, while 48% of the population sit and home whining about how it might affect their bank balance.
do you mean those imaginary immigrants that currently staff all care homes and all the NHS

Seems that clown Self wanted to goad Farage at every opportunity , shame he's not smart enough to actually do it!
Self, Mensch and Farage did agree with each other on some points though. I haven't seen that before.

That's not how I saw it. It was pretty tame tonight. No sparklers, although Farage fizzled out like a damp firework in places.

Why do we have NIck Cleggs wife on This week telling us how wonderful the EU is? Isn't one Clegg enough?

I expect they are both looking forward to spending Nick's generous EU pension when they retire!

Many throughout the Commonwealth stood by us during the wars; many giving their lives for it too.

It's a "fact" that we would have lost then?
You have a problem maintaining the dialectic don't you?
Go back and try and work out the fact I mentioned in my reply to your previous post to me.
There's a good fellow, run along now.

Empire built on piracy. slavery and drug running.
Way to go.
America saved Britain in WW2
The contempt you have for Britain leaps off the screen. Why do you stay here if you hate everything Britain stands for? It's not because you wouldn't have such a good standard of living somewhere else is it?

He mentioned the EU, Ukraine and Putin twice tonight and explained why we should stay on friendly terms with Putin.

Indeed. But I think the poster was just using language based on accusations from posters regarding British citizens.

I forgot about him last time he was on.
He is like the Angels from Dr Who. As soon you as you don't see him you forget he ever existed.

When did he say that?
He mentioned the desirability of talking to Putin to avoid any unpleasant consequences of what he (Putin) may be planning or what the EU have been doing close to Russia's borders, about which Putin is understandably a little twitchy.
This apparently means, to some people, that despite him saying specifically otherwise, that he wants to be 'friends'.

The Russians: always airbrushed out of American military history. Millions lost their lives. And, of course, it was the Russians who liberated Berlin (whilst the USA was off on their Operation Paperclip chase). We couldn't have won without Russia; and, IMHO, they should be remembered by us with pride for their sacrifices.
