[QUOTE="Ignatius the Kiwi, post: 77657545, member: 326057"] Actually it is. US aid to Britain in WW2 was not cheap and it came at the cost of forfeiture of the Empire. Roosevelt gave more free aid to the Soviet Union than he did to Britain. If you're interested, read Sean McMeekin's book, Stalin's war to see America's actions in WW2. The Idea of an undying loyalty between the USA and Britain is a myth. American's didn't care or want by in large to participate in WW2. Nor did they care for Imperial Britain, Roosevelt especially. Not that I am excusing the British mind you, they had a choice and they chose war at the cost of their empire because they would not have been able to win against Germany alone. I only point out that there were more options and that it isn't a binary choice between a Japanese regime or the USA. Now I didn't say the US ruled the world post WW2. It was a multipolar world where the influence was divided between the Soviets and the US. USA hegemony came after the fall of the Soviet Union and what has it used that hegemony for? Pointless wars in the Middle East, pushing Russia towards China and an expansion of a corruptive and corrosive culture of degeneracy. Why should I look at the current hegemony as desirable? You're free to disregard these points but you're not exactly convincing me of the need for the USA. [/QUOTE]
