It had Western Europe paying it back for 60+ years (I'm not sure if other countries still owe the USA war reparations) - the USA didn't have to do anything, plenty of countries opted out of World War II. You even admit to the truth of the situation without realising it - America stepped in because if it didn't, someone else would have (the USSR) - America saw an opportunity and grabbed it with both hands. That doesn't mean America didn't stand up and haul ass to help win the war on behalf of the flagging European forces but I can't believe you're sitting here trying to tell me that it was some morality tale and the USA only got involved because it felt it had a duty to protect the world. That's bull****.

right.... so you blame us for taking too long to get involved in the war, (we were LATE TO THE WAR) and then when we did come in, and save your asses, we get accused of planning to take over the world for getting involved, and it was our plan all along to become world powers!
listen to yourself.
