I Wouldn't expect any less from this gold plated cesspool founded on genocide, slavery, and exploitation.
"herp derp but we saved the world and beat the Nazis!" Yeah, we fought and defeated the Axis... after they decimated our pacific fleet and brought the war to us. Prior to that, eugenics were popular here, and practiced. Hell, some of our most infamous capitalists supplied and financed both sides of that war, after all, private profit is what America is all about.

We're dogshit, all the way back to the zealots fleeing Europe to be bigger religious prudes and nutters. The only amazing thing about our country is its ridiculously massive, undeserved ego.
Not to mention that they didn't join the war until the Russians and Germans had bled themselves dry on the eastern front and the soviets were well on their way to Berlin.
If you wanted to debate who won the war based on how many of their men, women, military and civilian sacrificed themselves willingly and unwillingly, the Russians were far and away the obvious victors.
20 million compared to America's half million during the war.
The Russians died and killed more Germans than the Americans.
And American businesses didn't mind being allied with the Nazis leading up to the war (Hitler saw Henry Ford, an out and out antisemite, as an inspiration and was given the highest nazi award to a foreigner), plenty of American businesses either directly or indirectly helped to finance the German war machine leading up to the war, Nazi Germany didn't build a multimillion dollar war machine in a global vacuum .... and then America allied with Nazi veterans AFTER the war ... it's basically Nazi scientists that sent them to the moon.
Everyone made deals with the devil to benefit themselves at different times for different reasons.
We can't point out one side allying with nazis and ignore others who did the same.
Even in Canada where I'm from a lot of critics and historians have pointed out that after the war ... it was far more easier and acceptable to be a Nazi or a Fascist then it was to be a Socialist or Communist.
