The British would have either mopped up Japan, or lost their colonial empire in the far east, pretty simple. Whether Britain or Japan owned a colony was of no legal interest to America.
In europe, as soon as the first snowflake fell on the German invaders of Russia, the National Socialist German Workers Party, and their war, was doomed.
US assistance was not needed in either case.

I normally enjoy Pat getting everyone’s panties in a bunch but this is the most idiotic statement I have ever heard!!
The United States gave $50.1 billion of war aid in all. Of this $31.4 billion went to Britain, $11.3 billion to the Soviet Union, $3.2 billion to France and $1.6 billion to China. Canada also operated a similar program and gave $4.7 billion in supplies to Britain and Soviet Union. Your right - The US assistance was not needed but I am VERY sure it shortened the war quite a bit and saved coutless lives.
