Are you ever in for an ed-u-cation.

"tip the scale in favor of the Allies and a swift resolution," "able to counter the Nazis as they passed through Belgium" "pursue and destroy bases on the other side of the Yalu" ". "It is as if we had destroyed the Ho Chih Minh Trail in 1965"

One minor, minor problem NeoGeo. No one knows where the enemy is.

"and we are doing so while they are still fairly weak......"

Do you have a television?

The Russians did, in 1914, what you speculate on the US doing. It got them some of the worst of the conflict, and absolutely the worst of the result. They did, in the longer run, save France.

In 1940 the French and British had a massive preponderance of resources. It was their lack of knowledge in their proper use that caused their defeat. Had the US had resources in 1940, and had been able to deploy them, then we, too, would have been banned from Belgium until the German attack, and would have thundered into the trap, right along with the French and British.
