Never on the right side of history.
We were that one time, and we’ve been milking it ever since.
In ww2 the Russians did most of he dirty work anyway. When the USA joined the war it was already clear the axis had lost.
Typical oversimplified tripe. Soviet bodies played a huge role, but US and British mechanized force projection, naval power and industrial capacity were at least as important.
It's also just bullshit that the Axis had already lost. That's the worst kind of historical revisionism. It might be obvious to us looking back, but it wasn't even remotely obvious to anyone alive then.
