ROTF,LMAO! You rebutted a claim that nobody made and failed to address the
actual claim. The question that you failed to address was what would have
happened had the US stayed out of the war.
>Canada was never protected from Germany by the US.

In case you hadn't heard, both Germany and Japan had navies. What do you
think they would have done with them had the US navy not taken them on,
once they had conquered England?

A strange question for someone complaining about ignorance of History; the
US joined[1] the war against Japan after Perl Harbor, but it didn't join
the war against Germany until after Germany declared war.
[1] Unless you count lend-lease, which was well before Perl Harbor.
Asl anybody from Russia or the UK.
