America was isolated from WW2 and joined at the end on their terms and for their benefit thanks to their location/geography. America will easily self-isolate and go full V for Vendetta (white [Germanic? Anglo Saxon? I feel like Germanic covers both] ethnonationalism, as usual) until it eventually balkanizes.
But Americans are honestly the dumbest people I've ever met, seeming almost challenged in their happy ignorance, so what can Americans by themselves do against their owners and through hardship? Israelis bomb Palestine through Ramadan and the communities still break their fast together in the rubble of their homes; Americans can't afford something they've been advertised but definitely don't need and will start selling drugs, their bodies (OF has made it easier than ever too!) and, finally, their souls. I can't see them doing anything besides murdering when they have the upper hand and assenting in fear when they don't, and I definitely don't see them getting together productively.
That was WWI, they were in WWII from the start.
The US was most certainly NOT part of WW2 from the start.
We provided aid early in the war through our lend-lease programs, but the US made it a point to stay out of the war. That changed after Pearl Harbor.
Okay "from the start" was wrong on my part, but they were an active combatant for most of the war.
They joined the European war late, haven't been around for the most of it time-wise.
They joined in 1943, 68% of time in.
The Germans lost less people fighting against the US in Europe total than in the Battle of Stalingrad.
