Lend-Lease, suggested French raise and living under Soviet dominance has nothing to do with all this thread.

Sure it does because that is the ultimate end to your country. With limited resources, Germany could not have triumphed. The victors would have been either France/Britain or the Soviet Union, with the French demanding some if not ultimate control over German territory. Don't forget the heavy tyranny subjected on the French by the Germans.
The Soviets with their (24 million dead) at German hands, would have demanded the other half of the territory. Ask those coming from the former 'East Germany" what that was like.

You may be surprised, but I find it unreasonable to expect other people to be ETERNALLY thankful for something, no matter what. If you expect them to be that, you effectvely turn them into your slaves.

I think you should be eternally thankful that a nation that believes in freedom and self determination, the United States, was in a position to help you in the face of certain slavery under a French or Soviet regime. I'm not asking for tribute and I'm certain that no US citizen would. That would make you a slave. A bit of appreciation as to where you are as opposed to where you could be.
