I tend to think that destroying the nazis and the empire of japan was worth the extremely high cost. I'd hazard a guess that most ukrainians and russians and koreans and chinese and a whole swath of southeast asian peoples would agree. Anyway, it's not a valid comparison when we're actively refusing to get involved in the conflict in any way that would risk our imperial interests. |

Entire existence rather.. Nuclear weapons made any direct conflict between major states extremely risky
> southeast asian peoples would agree.
I specifically excluded Japan. In theory US could have went to war with it while ignoring Europe. I doubt most people in Southeast Asia were particularly concerned about Germany, if anything it made their path to independence more straightforward
