@hectorbolshevik It depends on what you mean by "join the war." We started fighting Hitler in Northern Africa in 1942, while he was still moving into Russia. However, the Lend-Lease act had us supplying everything from uniforms to food to trucks to guns to both the British and the Soviets in 1940. So either way, we fought against Hitler far before the turning points at Stalingrad and Kursk.

@hectorbolshevik I'm sure you have been. By the way, the hammer and sickle are a little out of date buddy.

@marvelmax03191: I've been reading history books since you were still in diapers, kid. Have you? Ok, then.

[marvelmax03191]

@hectorbolshevik No, judging from your comments, I'm going to call it and say that you haven't.

@Meirstein: Read more carefully. What I said was that the U.S only joined the war in Europe when it was evident that the Soviets would win. Mussolini was toppled and hung by Italian Partisans, not U.S forces; though they did push the Nazis out of the country.

@marvelmax03191: You are the definition of an ignoramus. I tend to read quite a bit of history as opposed to Anne Coulter books.

[marvelmax03191]

@hectorbolshevik Lol!!! You, sir, are the definition of a misguided soul. Why not crack open a history book before sprouting off nonsense. Moron.

@hectorbolshevik While I don't like doing WWII arguments on the internet, I'm going to have to call you out here. The entry of the US into the war was based on the attack at Pearl Harbor, not the situation in Europe. When we joined the war (Hitler declared on us on December 11, 1941), the Germans were still pushing deep into the Soviet Union with a surge that didn't end until 1943 at Stalingrad. Also, Germany had two major allies (Italy and Japan), and guess who took them out. Hint: America
