Are you just trying to bait me or are you actually interested in a conversation? I’m happy to discuss further, but right now I feel like your goal is just to rile me up for internet points.

No simply trying to know if you have facts on your side of the discussion. Why would I bait you to rile you up? That's not my style, although I've experienced it personally, especially on Lemmy.world.

That’s what the US said during WWII

Then they said, "Oh God. The Germans were supposed to defeat those commies but now the commies are on track to win the entire war themselves!"

So they jumped in, fought less than 20% of the Nazis, got to Berlin long after the Russians liberated it, and then claimed that the US are the anti-fascist heroes after dropping nukes on hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians while in the middle of a negotiation with Japan.

Don't forget the kicker: they justified it afterwards by saying they needed them to surrender unconditionally while the US (purposely) set conditions similar to those Japan was already agreeing to before the bombings. And of course kkkrakkkers still eat that up to this day.
