You know Britain saved Europe from Germany in World war I, they saved it again from hitler, the German chancellor, in World war II, and now they are saving it from another German Chancellor by Brexit.
We're getting fed up with it, please can the European countries wake up to what is going on, and not rely on us saving them if they do it again.
Sort of. Technically it was the arrival of fresh US troops that really tipped the scales in WW1. In that the US was the group who saved Europe from the Kaiser.
In WWII, the US didn't do dick compared to the real hero: The Soviet Union. They took a hell of a beating to be honest, and really did the heaviest lifting in WWII. Thus we should give credit where it is due.
Oh sure, Stalin's Soviet Union was the real hero for agreeing to invade and divide several countries under Molotov-Ribbenrop, which
"included a secret protocol that divided territories of Romania, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Finland into German and Soviet "spheres of influence", anticipating potential "territorial and political rearrangements" of these countries."The Russians got exactly what they deserved for betraying their Tsar and embracing Marxist Bolshevism. IE, their armed forces where in complete disarray thanks to Stalin's purges long before being stomped into the mud by the Wehrmacht.
And it was American materiel support from the lend-lease act (plus bad weather) that kept the Red Army alive long enough to stop Hitler, not the patriotic cannon fodder.
Heavy lifting? No, that was the USA and UK. Soviet Union did the heavy bleeding, because they chose to reject capitalism and the rule of law in favor of social justice utopia.
The USA also prevented WW3 by stopping the Red Army's march across western Europe.
This, not Stalin's totalitarian Great Patriotic War fiasco, is heavy lifting in service of peace:
The Berlin Blockade (24 June 1948 – 12 May 1949) was one of the first major international crises of the Cold War. During the multinational occupation of post–World War II Germany, the Soviet Union blocked the Western Allies' railway, road, and canal access to the sectors of Berlin under Western control. The Soviets offered to drop the blockade if the Western Allies withdrew the newly introduced Deutsche mark from West Berlin.
In response, the Western Allies organized the Berlin airlift to carry supplies to the people of West Berlin, a difficult feat given the city's population.[1][2]
Aircrews from the United States Air Force, the British Royal Air Force, the Royal Canadian Air Force, the Royal Australian Air Force, the Royal New Zealand Air Force, and the South African Air Force flew over 200,000 flights in one year, providing to the West Berliners up to 8,893 tons of necessities each day, such as fuel and food.[4] The Soviets did not disrupt the airlift for fear this might lead to open conflict.[5]
By the spring of 1949, the airlift was clearly succeeding, and by April it was delivering more cargo than had previously been transported into the city by rail. On 12 May 1949, the USSR lifted the blockade of West Berlin
