You mean germany and japan are now among the top 4 biggest economies in the world even though they were bombed into rubble by the anglo-bolshevik alliance 70 years ago. A true testament to the amazing work ethic and ability of the japanese and german people.

Blame Japan, had Pearl Harbor not happened the US would have never even directly participated in WWII unless Germany fucked up and did another Lusitania.

I doubt it. They knew what would happen, they made it easy for the nips. It was an excuse to able to shift and ignore the political and societal opposition. Some other excuse or complete fabrication would have been used, eventually.

We weren't rebuilt by the US.

Both of these countries were already economic powerhouses before the war and just came back to it for the same reason they were before.
Without the U.S. robbing us blind both Japan and germany would be even better of.
Apparently we were the worst of the worst so instead of getting gibs we had to pay reparations to soviets
