the USA was not the major part of in saving us from the Germans
Strictly speaking, they were more pivotal in the Pacific front of the war, where they saved China from Japan.
But you’ve really got your blinkers on if you’re going to ignore the Lend-Lease program, which provided the Soviets with 400,000+ trucks, 14,000+ aircraft, 13,000+ tanks, and 4.5 million tons of food.
Like, it was a team effort. No single country single-handedly won (or lost) WW2. The real tragedy of the war’s end was our inability to disarm and diplomacy our way to a real unity planet. In that sense, everyone ultimately lost WW2.
even if that’s true, telling them this doesn’t help them or solve their ignorance - just a thought that we can have more or less useful reactions to ignorance, we don’t want to incentivize doubling down on false beliefs for example
EDIT: I thought you wrote “you’re an idiot” in response to the person claiming the US defeated the Nazis, nevermind.
Most Europeans in 1945 believed the USSR toppled Nazi Germany, it really is only after the USSR collapsed four decades later and the US took global supremacy that people started to say things like the US defeated the Nazis.
Stop your revisionism, the USA was not the major part of in saving us from the Germans. They convinced us they were, that much is true.
