dream on
I'm not dreaming. That actually would be more like a nightmare. I don't see how you would be so ignorant to think Germany would not have eventually taken over the Island if there was no Eastern war.

no air superiority = no beach head.
Plus the Royal Navy = no cross channel invasion.

I said the second world war could not have been won without the USA.
Iraq not a failure, it was the start of what is now the Arab spring.
The USA can win any war, but it fights with one hand tied behind its back. It has the military clout to reduce any country to nuclear rubble without question. It can win wars without putting any boots on any soil, but it chooses not to use the weapons it has. Its enemies though if they had such capabilities, they would not hesitate to use them. And that is what separates the great country of America and its great people.

Germany swept through a militarily weak and aged Europe military. The Polish Army was cavalry against tanks. France military was static defences and the Germans bypassed them.It was a fast rapid mechanised movement of forces, the like of which Europe had never seen the Blitzkrieg. Speed and suprise.
UK over the water all that is gone. RAF & Royal Navy. No chance ever ever ever of a successful land invasion to UK.

the U boat havoc was to merchant shipping
in practice they were most effectively used in an economic warfare role (commerce raiding), enforcing a naval blockade against enemy shipping. The primary targets of the U-boat campaigns in both wars were the merchant convoys bringing supplies from Canada, the British Empire and the United States to the islands of Great Britain.
once the merchant ships could be escorted in convoys by war ships they had little success.

the English Channel was relatively shallow, and was partially blocked with minefields by mid-1940, U-boats were ordered not to negotiate it

At the start of World War II in 1939, the Royal Navy was still the largest in the world, consisting of 15 battleships and battlecruisers with 5 under construction, 7 aircraft carriers, 66 cruisers with 23 more under construction, 184 destroyers with 52 under construction, 45 escort and patrol vessels with 9 under construction and 1 on order, and 60 submarines with 9 under construction. During the early phases of World War II the Royal Navy provided critical cover during British evacuations from Dunkirk. At the Battle of Taranto, Admiral Cunningham commanded a fleet that launched the first all-aircraft naval attack in history.

So it is clear from air superiority over the British Isles and the strength of the Royal Navy a German landing was never possible.
Indeed if he had tried it then his losses of troops and munitions in crossing the water would probably have bankrupted his military capabilities and the war may have ended much earlier.

where did you confabulate that statement in red from.

Neither the First or Second World wars could have been won without the USA. Period.
That statement is correct. Period.
Right here:
The Russians were not needed and to that end developed a terrible cold war period following the war, and thank Russia for that. Russian controlled by a MADMAN as bad if not worse than Hitler STALIN.

Maybe you meant they weren't needed for something else (ie. occupying or liberating Berlin). But it says what it says.

There is a difference between defending your territory (ie. Britain) and actually unseating and destroying the German army. I'm not disputing the importance the US played in it, but to say the Soviets were not needed? Not buying it.
Imagine the English Channel being defended by 5 times the resources than it was. Granted they controlled the air and sea, but the invasion could have required 10 times the resources. The Germans used over 4,000 planes and 4.5 million soldiers in the invasion of Russia.....resources that certainly could have been saved and used against the west. As it was, Germany had about 300,000 troops defending the west.....multiply that times 10 times. The Allies required over 1.3 million in the invastion. Multiply that by 10 times.
Not to mention the amount of damage those resources could have committed if they had been used against the west during the years when the US was getting it's war machine going? And Hitler would have had free use of all the oil fields in Russia to boot.
The west survived because Hitler just couldn't help himself from attacking Russia....he hated them more than anyone and it required most of his available resources.

If Hitler had ignored Russia and put all his resources in the west, he would rolled them fast than you can say yahtzee. Russia was necessary by the mere fact that it existed. Isn't that interesting.

Germany had originally had a goal of air superiority over Britain. They actually changed that strategy when some bombers actually bombed Britain....Britain bombed Berlin and Hitler got pissed. That is when he started the bombing campaign over Britain. And what was the reason he ended it? Because he wanted to concentrate on the invasion of the Soviet Union.
No Soviet Union = Any number of potential outcomes in the west.

He had his full resources, he did not open a Russia front until his declaration of war on Russia 22 June 1941
Britain declared war on Germany Sept 3 1939.
Operation Sea Lion (German: Unternehmen Seelöwe) was Germany's plan to invade the United Kingdom during the Second World War, beginning in 1940. To have had any chance of success, however, the operation would have required air and naval supremacy over the English Channel. With the German defeat in the Battle of Britain, Sea Lion was postponed indefinitely on 17 September 1940 and never carried out.
The threat to Britain predates any Russian conflict. The ability of Germany to attack Britain dissapeared long before any Russian involvement.
So do not cite the deployment of German units to Russian front saved Britain. No Way.

My problem with the song is that it is anti God and anti Jesus.
God and Jesus would not advocate blessing America, at the exclusion of anyone else on the planet. Would God recognize the border of the USA?
Jeesh. it is really ridiculous how so called Christians think it is pleasing to God to be supportive of excluding needy, simply because they dont live within some man made border.

The tune maybe catchy but the words are just plain wrong. You can't ask GOD to bless you and do the things you do around the world. Is what i'm saying so hard to understand.
I'm sure GOD enjoys seeing little children blown up by drones. Treating the Palestinians one ay and letting Israel do whatever the ywant to them....etc etc etc

So they play this song during the 7th inning stretch of every baseball game?.
Whenever I hear that song, I want to throw up. Why would GOD Bless America. One of the most evil and hypocritical Nations on the planet. The way America treats other nations and people and God should Bless it...hilarious.
Jesus Christ BC look at what you started!!!!!
You couldn't just leave the song alone huh? You had to know it would set off a thread with people going at it.
Anyways, if you don't like the song hit the rest room during the 7th inning stretch. It's a good way to beat the lines anyway. If not then please stand and politely remove your cap if you will.
I fucking hate Alanis Morrisette, but I'm not going to shit all over Canada because of it.
