The manhattan project was already well under way at the time of the normandy invasion. All the jewish physicists from germany who were working on nuclear fission had already fled to the united states leave the german program in shambles.

The US developed "the bomb" in early 1945 independant of the war effort in europe. If for some reason the russians hadn't taken berline and eastern europe, the US would have had THE FUCKING BOMB. You think we would have stopped with a couple targets in japan? The bomb would have ended the war in europe in a few days, period.

I think the swooning admiration only goes a certain distance. When Americans rave about how they saved the world from the scourge of Nazism, it's a bit tiresome. Yes, they helped, but only to save their own skin; they were only dragged in when Japan showed up and ruined the Hawaii fleet.

You can think it doesn't matter who likes and doesn't like you. It does.
