    You seem to be under the impression that I think America deserves 20% credit for dislodging the Japanese Empire. I’m sorry for giving you this mistaken impression, because in truth America deserves 0% credit for doing it. America did not defeat the Japanese Empire and liberate the former imperial holdings, they simply captured it for themselves instead.

    Also the effectiveness of lend-lease and other actions taken by America to weaken their imperial rival economically are greatly overstated.
