The problem with historical discussions is, dealing with the what-ifs always turn into almost absurd twists. Not invading Russia would mean that 4 army-groups could be unleashed on Britain, and Britain would just lose. But thinking for a moment, one realizes that you could argue that if the US had sent its entire army to Britain, it would be an even fight. Then, you would argue that the US could do that if Japan hadn't attacked. By then, one reaches the point where they are no longer arguing about possibilities, but outmatching each other's fantasies.

As for you, goggles, I have nothing against you or this discussion, but I don't believe I have the energy to continue it. Let us just end with the agreement that Hitler taking over on the strategic level spelled defeat for Germany.

How 'bout it?
