I kinda hate all the hypothetical history YouTubers. Even if it's interesting stuff that would have made things much better, well, it didn't happen. It's only worthwhile as far as analyzing mistakes to hopefully learn something and take the better option in the future, imo. And most of the YouTubers are reactionaries so whatever they want to happen is usually just very bad.
My question for this specific hypothetical is: Why the fuck should the Americans have even fought the Nazis in that case and not just come in, team up with Hitler, and blast the Soviets together? I would love for them to explain in detail why America even opposed the Nazis. Or, better, why he opposes Nazis. "Uh, well, because they were bad!" Yeah? At a time when America was horribly antisemitic itself and still was practicing American Apartheid in the form of Jim Crow laws, you think it was because the Nazis were racist that the Brits and Americans opposed them?
I don't even know this person, but just basing that off the majority of American's opinion. "Because we good guy and they bad guy!"
