we were all busy getting Britain out of the ****e and mire that the lend lease from our Bros across the pond saddled us with in order to fight and finish off the Leftist and Nazi's that created the WW2
I am not sure an objective review of History would corroborate that statement, Pete.
As I recall we made a slight investment ourselves.
You realize we could have quite happily sat back and allowed you and the Germans to sort out that affair then dealt with the Winner as we had a slightly larger bit of Water between us and all of you.
I don't suppose our feeding you during the War mattered much either.
Wars cost money. If you cannot afford them you should not be so quick to get into them. Which is a lesson lost on American Politicians the past many decades.
Other than this part of what you said, I fully agree with the rest of it.
