Britain held off the Nazis entirely alone while the Russians were allies of Hitler.Contrary to legend it would have been difficult for Germany to invade since the Royal Navy was hugely powerful.Roosevelt was sympathetic but given isolationism in Congress did not commit troops until after Pearl Harbour.Prior to that America had provided material support to Britain through Lend Lease but on usurious terms which nearly bankrupted Britain in her time of need.The Americans though initially raw and inexperienced made a big difference and had superior generals to the British.Overall the quality of German soldiers and officers easily exceeded anything the Americans or British had to offer.In the larger scheme of things by far the greatest contribution to victory was made by Russia with a sacrifice in blood that is still almost unimaginable.

Why was Eisenhower made 

Supreme Commander of the allied forces and not a British or Russian general?

 Seems to me, the Americans were running the show.

Actually it was a honor to the royals to get visited by the Trumps.

 

Why else they would invite him?

 

And the anti - Trump protests are not only disrespectful against Trump, but also against the queen.

 

However, that's the UK. They can do what they find appropriate. Good luck.

To quote your words.

 

Why does he insist on sticking his nose into every other country's political agenda and other issues?

 

Theresa May invited him. 

It was a diluted invite for several reasons. 

Mainly Trump wanting more time to do other things.

Scottish golf courses etc.

It certainly wasn't a state visit. 

So any royal family attendance was a bonus. 

Trump always wanted to meet with the Queen. 

 

Maybe he wanted to sit in her chair as well as Winston Churchill's?

They had more toys!

ITV showed an interview by Piers Morgan aboard airfarce1 after news at ten last night that was quite entertaining. It's on iPlayer and I suspect elsewhere too.

Yeah they went into Poland as well but many Russians always knew that the Nazi regime would turn and attack them when the time was right.

It turned out to be the Nazi biggest mistake.

I don't understand this.Can you elaborate please.

I think the discussion of WWII and many of the unfounded, speculative remarks can stop.   You can stop them or I will.

No, not everyone is like that

Everything everyone does is selfish. You can kid yourself and ratinalize otherwise, but it is true. I could almost prive this, but it is beyond a thaivisa post. We evolved to be selfish for very specific reasons, selfish meaning looking out for our genes; ourselves and family. Get it through your head, everything you do, including your response to this post, is selfish. Just because you don't want to admit it doesn't make it untrue.

Because if he was actually a halfway decent person, which i personally don't think he is, I think a president like that could get a lot of good stuff done. Maybe not, maybe it would be a detriment, but at least we know where people like that stand.

 

Who do you like and respect? The guy who smiles in your face and calls you names when you turn your back, or the guy who calls you the same names to your face?

If " Scott " will allow my last comment related to ww2.

 

It's one of the many conspiracy theories that are brought up like from the beginning of time either serious or just in a joking manner.

Churchill tried many times to get America into the war and as of today with Trump it's hard to stop or get America to do anything.

It seems the Queen may have been subtly trolling Trump with the broaches she wore during his visit.   

 

The one for the visit to Windsor was a broach which was a personal gift from the Obama's to the Queen (bought personally with their own money by the Obama's).  The 2nd during his visit was the one worn by her mother to the former Kings funeral and the third was a gift from Canada's PM, Justin Trudeau!

Trump wrongly says queen reviewed guard for 1st time in 70 years

President Trump claimed Tuesday that during his visit to England, Queen Elizabeth II reviewed her Guard of Honor for the first time in 70 years -- but she's only been queen for 65 years. And as any royal-watcher knows, reviewing the guard is something she's been photographed doing many times over the years.

 

"We met with the queen, who is absolutely a terrific person, where she reviewed her Honor Guard for the first time in 70 years, they tell me," Mr. Trump said at the White House Tuesday. "We walked in front of the Honor Guard and that was very inspiring to see and be with her. And I think the relationship, I can truly say is a good one. But she was very, very inspiring indeed."

 

The queen's coronation was in June 1953. Reviewing the Honor Guard is a frequent part of her royal duties. She did so with President Obama during his visit to Buckingham Palace in 2011.

I'm sure there are many who could teach him how to fasten the buttons on his jacket and how long a necktie should be.  But to learn, you need to be able to listen so unlikely to happen.
