    Of course the US could have defeated Germany on its own. Germany was the second most powerful military in the world behind the US. You seem to forget that the US was fighting in two theaters at the same time (European and Pacific) thousands of miles apart from one another and across two gigantic oceans. Obviously, the Russians contributed massively in the European theater, as did the British empire. But it was the US economy that supplied them all. Meanwhile, the US was all but singlehandedly crushing the imperial Japanese in the Pacific theater. Can you name another power of the time that could do all those things at the same time? Not even close.
    Power always thinks it has a great soul, and vast views, beyond the comprehension of the weak. And that it is doing God service when it is violating all His laws.

    Nice deflection comrade. We never claimed that we defeated the Nazis on our own. It was you that claimed the communists defeated the Nazis nearly on their own.

    Because the United States is the good guys and Communist Russia was the subjugating bad guys. Naturally, Communist Russia imploded - as the CCP will eventually do. The USSR had its chance to lead after WWII but it subjugated instead. Now, it stirs up trouble from the sidelines.
