The United States is a developed country and has the world's largest national economy by nominal and real GDP, benefiting from an abundance of natural resources and high worker productivity. While the U.S. economy is considered post-industrial, the country continues to be one of the world's largest manufacturers. Accounting for 34% of global military spending and 23% of world GDP, it is the world's foremost military and economic power, a prominent political and cultural force, and a leader in scientific research and technological innovations.

"In total, the U.S. deliveries through Lend-Lease amounted to $11 billion in materials: over 400,000 jeeps and trucks; 12,000 armored vehicles (including 7,000 tanks, about 1,386 of which were M3 Lees and 4,102 M4 Shermans); 11,400 aircraft (4,719 of which were Bell P-39 Airacobras)and 1.75 million tons of food. Roughly 17.5 million tons of military equipment, vehicles, industrial supplies, and food were shipped from the Western Hemisphere to the USSR, 94% coming from the US. For comparison, a total of 22 million tons landed in Europe to supply American forces from January 1942 to May 1945. It has been estimated that American deliveries to the USSR through the Persian Corridor alone were sufficient, by US Army standards, to maintain sixty combat divisions in the line.The United States gave to the Soviet Union from October 1, 1941 to May 31, 1945 the following: 427,284 trucks, 13,303 combat vehicles, 35,170 motorcycles, 2,328 ordnance service vehicles, 2,670,371 tons of petroleum products (gasoline and oil), 4,478,116 tons of foodstuffs (canned meats, sugar, flour, salt, etc.), 1,900 steam locomotives, 66 Diesel locomotives, 9,920 flat cars, 1,000 dump cars, 120 tank cars, and 35 heavy machinery cars. One item typical of many was a tire plant that was lifted bodily from the Ford Company's River Rouge Plant and transferred to the USSR. The 1947 money value of the supplies and services amounted to about eleven billion dollars"

You must be 15 or 16. If the Soviets had a chance at a manned moon mission in 1969 they would have tried. And this is not to put down the Soviet space program, it is simply telling it like it is. Even the American mission was considered a long shot.

>>
>>57298925
We did. It was rare if we ever got to the 80's and 90's though.

In all honesty, the USA single-handedly won the Pacific theater. There is absolutely zero argument that can be made against that.

Europe was a combined effort. Russia halting the Germans at Stalingrad was huge, and arguably the turning point in the European theater in my mind. Hitler lost some veteran and elite corps there and got pushed to the defensive against a lumbering, but quickly mobilizing Russian force. That being said, I cannot say what happens if America does not get involved as thus there is no Normandy Invasion or Operation Torch.

The reason you 'won' is because they were pretty poor compared to the US the entire cold war and US government defined moon landing to be the finish line.

According to our history classes (Hollywood), Germans were enlisting the powers of Hell's nobility to create demonic cyborg supersoldiers. Their express intent was the elimination of all Jewish bloodlines since only the Chosen had access to the magicks that could penetrate Hitler's deflector shields.

it was the finish line because they could not one up it with anything thus finishing the dick waving contest

not even a month after they launched yuri into space we launched our own, one upping them
this the pattern on how the space race went

if the soviets had the capability of landing a man on the moon at the time they would have continued the space race by on upping us, but they could not so the space race was finished.

thin of the space race as a stone throwing contest.
everytime the soviets threw a stone farther than america, america in return threw a stone just as far or even farther. eventually america threw a stone so far that the soviets could not throw farther or equal to than the americans, thus making america the winner

This is complete bullshit
Widespread use of terror. Murder, kidnapping, torture and general intimidation were a routine part of VC/NVA operations and were calculated to cow the populace, liquidate opponents, erode the morale of GVN government employees, and boost tax collection and propaganda efforts.[95] This extensive use of terror on a daily basis received comparatively little attention from Western journalists occupied with covering the big unit war.[96] Terror was meant to demonstrate that both the rural and urban dweller were powerless against the Viet Cong and that the government could not protect them. Terror extended beyond targeted murders and kidnappings, and included the frequent mortaring of civilians in refugee camps, and the placing of mines on highways frequented by villagers taking their goods to urban markets. Some mines were set only to go off after heavy vehicle passage, causing extensive slaughter aboard packed civilian buses.[96]
>>
>>57298765
Another terror method involved deliberate random shelling of populated areas with 122-mm rockets. Areas victimized included Saigon, Danang and other major cities.[97] At other times the Viet Cong eschewed the use of stand-off weapons and directly attacked villages and hamlets with the express intention of killing men, women and children to sow havoc, panic and insecurity. A 1968 attack on the hamlet of Son Tra in Quang Ngai province for example, used flamethrowers to incinerate 78 civilians, wounded many more, and destroyed most of the hamlet.[98]

>>57298765
Several spectacular incidents of terror stand out in VC/NVA operations, although these were not publicized in the Western media to the extent of the American-perpetrated My Lai Massacre.[100]

Hue: During Tet for example, Communist forces seemed to have carefully planned for mass killings, with prepared hitlists carried both by the invading VC units and local infrastructure operatives. One of the sites of the worse atrocity was the city of Hue.
Civil servants, officers, teachers and religious figures were rounded up first and executed after quick "revolutionary" trials. A second roundup fingered leaders of civic organizations, intellectuals, professionals and individual civilians and their families who had worked for the Americans. A barber for example who had cut the hair of Americans had both his hands cut off before being liquidated.[101]
The greatest number of people eliminated however appeared to be during the Viet Cong retreat from the city. They were usually shot and buried in well-concealed mass graves that were eventually to yield some 2,800 corpses. Lack of visible wounds on some bodies, including 2 Catholic priests, indicated that they had been buried alive.[3][101] The 2,800 bodies in Hue were part of a larger group of some 5,800 civilians in the city targeted in Viet Cong attacks for liquidation or abduction. Most of the remaining victims have never been found.[101]

>The race ended because top space teams around the world collaborate with each other instead of competing

The *public* race ended because the USSR went bankrupt trying to keep up. It was all a public relations contest meant to impress potential allies.

Everything space-related is now handled by the US Air Force (which is coincidentally where most of our defense spending goes), which is why NASA is a dessicated husk.

Up to 155,000 refugees fleeing the final NVA Spring Offensive were killed or abducted on the road to Tuy Hòa in 1975.[81] Sources have estimated that 165,000 South Vietnamese died in the re-education camps out of 1–2.5 million sent,[82][better source needed] while somewhere between 50,000 and 250,000 were executed.[83][84][85] Rummel estimates that slave labor in the "New Economic Zones" caused 50,000 deaths (out of a total 1 million deported).[83][84] According to the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, between 200,000 and 400,000 Vietnamese boat people died at sea,[86] although Rummel cites estimates ranging from 100,000 to 1,000,000.[84] Including Vietnam's foreign democide, Rummel estimates that a minimum of 400,000 and a maximum of slightly less than 2.5 million people died of political violence from 1975–87 at the hands of Hanoi.[84] In 1988, Vietnam suffered a famine that afflicted millions.[87]

I don't mind American delusions. The only theatre they "Won" was the Pacific theatre though. The UK and other allies contributed the most in North Africa and the Mediterranean, and The USSR the most on the eastern front.

What really irks me is when they sincerely try to tell Brits that "You would have been invaded if it weren't for us". They totally gloss over the battle of Britain which stopped any chance of invasion and the fact the UK had been fighting for two years before they were bombed into participating.
