Of course US and Russian involvement was a crucial part of Britain being victorious over the Nazis, but Britain stood alone against the Third Reich for over three years before either country got involved.

Meanwhile Britain defeated the German Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain, withstood months of nightly bombing
raids and provided a haven for millions of refugees.

Had Britain not prevailed until 1942 there may not have been an "ass" for you to save.

Your flippant bar-room cliches don't do justice to the complexity nor the gravity of the situation.

BTW it's thanks to us that you're speaking English right now (well sort of)
