During World War II #WeWereAllies with the 🇺🇸US, although until the attack on Pearl Harbor it remained neutral.
The US & UK pledged to open the Second Front against the Nazi Germany in 1942, but it was not until June 1944 and the Normandy landings that the Allies entered WW2 in full at the primary theatre of war.
The Lend-Lease was of great assistance to the fight against the Axis, yet it was not free and payments for the goods & hardware spanned decades - the last transaction closing the debt was made by Russia on August 21, 2006.
Yet, they say it is the US who won WWII.
Curiously enough, the US is the only country that has repeatedly voted against UNGA resolution on combating "Glorification of Nazism: inadmissibility of certain practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance" since 2005.
Today it also either supports or turns a blind eye to neo-Nazi manifestations and exoneration of Nazi collaborators in certain countries.
