I have only two regrets: I didn't shoot Henry Clay and I didn't hang John C. Calhoun.

And Germany didn't...oh noes the Japs suprise attack on our navel base which ravaged many of our top battleships and cruisers
Bottom line America stormed Europe and ran there fist down the gullet of Germany straight into the center..
Even if America collapsed tommarrow it had a MUCH longer run then Germany ever did as top dog....hell you could argue that even at Germanys peak it wasn't a true superpower. Beating on the French and side switching italians??? Oh yeah thats real impressive notice how they got there a$$ handed to them once they stepped up to Russia or the USA.
oh yes such a monster the the United States could send a force across a sea and run the table with one minor setback (battle of the bulge)

lol people dont understand it took the entire US army to beat HALF, let me repeat, HALF of Germanys army. Lets speak theoretically here, lets say Germany never went to war with Russia, and it had 100% of its troops on the western front, what do you think would happen.
Yes America runs **** now, and is alpha
but Germany was the alpha of the 1930s-end WWII

America is an alloy forged of many different races. Some of the bravest marines were black, or indian, or white, but above all that bs they were Americans.
America somehow manges to come togather when push comes to shove. Its not our diversity that weakens us its our apathy. If America is falling its due to the same reason as Rome.
You can play you "pure" race card bs. Bottom line evolution said America > then Germany and world war 2 proved it. You lucky America didn't have a similar mentality to Germany and simply eradicate every human who wasn't "American" otherwise we wouldn't even be having this talk eh?

Well for one, USA wasn't even around when rome was in power. For two, if Rome was reincarnated today and tried to go to war with USA it wouldn't even be a fight... I mean come on. I hate to sound like an elitist, but what USA wants USA gets.

I agree, Germany was a ****ing powerhouse... the blitzkreig tactics are the same ones they used to brutalize France in the Franco Prussian War (although France's power never recovered after Napoleon).
However, it was Russia that stopped Germany IMHO. If the Russians didn't stop Germany at Stalingrad, they would have took Moscow and St. Petersburg, and turned their whole strength on the allies.
Otto Von Bismarck was a friggin genius when it came to war as diplomacy... The Third Reich simply picked up where he left off.'You don't make friends with salad'

oh really?? Because according to my history textbook the war on Japan ended AFTER we had already ran Germany....
Now let me think your telling me we were fighting the japanese and island hopping with NOT even 1% of our forces?? Oh really? And your telling me that we manged to pack up the entire military onto some boats and diploy the entire force in Normandy and Italy???
So reality is Germany was playing defence on home turf while Americas navy was mostly busy working on Japan and we were fighting a TRUE two side of the WORLD war.
