Had the United States never entered WW2, the UK and Western Europe would be speaking German or Russian.
The industrial capacity and manpower the US provided was the critical key to turning the tide of WW2. It was also the reason Russia could not proceed further east at the conclusion of the war. Any argument to the contrary is ignoring facts and history.
That said, I have great admiration for my ancestry in the UK for being so steadfast and resilient in fighting the Germans. Every time I am in London I visit the Imperial War Museum and I am moved beyond words. The US and the UK rightly should have no great ally than each other.
