Oh, sorry for having an opinion. I meant yeah, of course, the US saved the world again as they always do. Where would the world be without the US hand to guide us through the darkness, and I wonder how did the world survive without the US for thousands of years.

How will we ever pay you back for all the times you protected us, stupid and lowly non US peoples?

he didn't say you did nothing, infact he said you quickened victory, i happen to agree...
Exactly. Thanks.

I recently read an essay that basically said the Germans were planning on utilizing the vast farming regions they won from russia and the food shortages that were the main factor in German surrender would be alleviated.
Well, yes, but that wouldnt be possible immediately. It would have been years before the germans could establish a food supply to the front in France from the devastated russian lands. Im not saying the plans were not there, just that it wouldnt be a short term goal.

Besides, the main german problem, as in WWII was oil. They had no oil supply for tanks, planes and trucks, and thus were forced into a defensive war. The russian territories didnt have oil either.
