Oh dear!  It seems you are saying that had Churchill not convinced Roosevelt  the Nazis would have been able to conquer all of Europe  (then attack Russia, get defeated and leave Stalin as master of all Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia).

You asked where the US was when Britain was under threat of invasion, not where we were when the Battle of Britian happened, you dishonest sh*t. I brought up Sealöwe to show that Britain never was under an actual threat of being invaded. Lend-Lease was an example of us not only selling the UK the weapons, munitions, and raw material they needed on one hell of a line of crefit.

Germany invaded Russia in order to secure access to middle eastern oil, and it would have had a much greater chance of success had a massive increase in allied heavy bombing not happened. Once the US got in on the act with the RAAF, Germany was forced to divert hundreds of thousands of men and millions of tons of ordinamce for air defense that could have gone to the eastern front.

No, we planned on destroying Germany back in '38.  Russia simply did not have the capability to take on Germany alone.

No, that was what enabled FDR to get Lend-Lease past congress.

Did you know that people can swim across The Channel?

Let's not forget that the food would get wet and you might have sharks following you. There's also jellyfish and they can be nasty too. Millions of German soldiers would make a great meal for the creatures in the sea. Yummy humans.

The problem with the Germans digging a tunnel all the way to England is that the British could easily send some divers under the sea and blow it up. The British would likely be doing reconnaissance on the coast of the European mainland and if they noticed the Germans transporting dirt from the tunnel, they would think something fishy was going on. Even if they did reach England, how quickly could the army get across? You would only have 12 hours between sunset and sunrise to poke up from a hole in the ground and get into position. There's no way of knowing for sure where you'd be. A few miscalculations and you could end up in the middle of a barracks. The element of surprise would be uncertain.

Growing fears that North Korea actually has the technology to launch nuclear missiles

THE United States has delayed testing one of its own intercontinental ballistic missiles as some analysts say they believe North Korea can launch nuclear warheads.
A senior defence official has said the Pentagon delayed an intercontinental ballistic missile test in order not to inflame already flash-point tensions with the rogue state.
Scheduled to be launched this week from the  Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, the official said Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel decided to put off the long-planned Minuteman 3 test until sometime next month.
The test was not connected to the ongoing U.S.-South Korean military exercises that have been going on in that region and have stoked North Korean anger and fueled an escalation in threatening actions and rhetoric.
North Korea's military warned earlier this week that it was authorized to attack the U.S. using "smaller, lighter and diversified" nuclear weapons.
However, North Korea is generally regarded d as being years away from perfecting the technology to back up its bold threats of a pre-emptive strike on the United States.
But a recent string of successful tests has introduced a strong measure of doubt.

British and US intelligence were perfectly aware of Germany's lack of ships, and unlike some people they could read a map well enough to know you can't invade an island without ships.

Let this be a lesson for why watch tv documentaries on a subject is no substitute for having received formal education on that subject.
