Ok buddy, this is obviously a little too complicated for you. You might want to sit this one out.

Ok then smart guy.

Explain what winning the war really means and how we actually lost

And please, explain it to me like I’m 5 since I’m obviously not smart enough for grown up words.

I already have, you're too stupid to understand.

What about Facism? Since that’s what the allies were fighting in WWII

Probably the biggest boost to the spread of communism happened in 1949. The Loss of China as it was known when Mao took over.

If I remember correctly from reading about this, Truman state department fricked it all up basically. But it was speculated Truman suspected there was communist spies with in his on state department also.

Plus Stalin helping Mao by giving him the weapons left by the Japanese to overthrow the democratic government which Truman backed.

It basically was a major shift in balance of power which led to the Korean War and all of Southeast Asia with the communist influence in that region. So that’s my answer to it. Probably the loss of china to communism more over than the defeat of the Nazi’s. But I’m not expert of course just my opinion.

Would the men who fought in WW2 think we won the war if they looked at the current state of the west? The typical boomer answer is "We aren't speaking German" but communism has spread worldwide and has a stronghold within our nations, we have no control over our domestic and foreign policy other than sending money to be laundered through Ukraine and into Israel, our borders are open to the point where the most common baby name in the UK (the most hardlined country against the Germans, other than Russia during Barbarosa) is now Mohammad. Is this better than the alternative?

It's really hard to answer an incoherent question.

It seems like you're asking if it would have been better if the other side had won WWII.

There's a pretty simple answer to that one. No.

OP is going to come back around to the Jews somehow

Truman was also sick of putting up with Chiang Kai Shek’s incessant ineptitude. In hindsight we should have supported the Nationalists more as it would have saved us a lot of trouble but they never got their shite together until Chiang’s death. Meanwhile the Communists were a far more organized and unified force during the Civil War.

NATO was established 1949, the UN was established 1945, Bretton Woods in 1944. All a direct result of the "allies" winning the war.

Ok so you’re arguing that because western governments formed alliances to protect and incentivize economic trade(NATO) and that the US implemented an agreement that essentially guaranteed that we would be the unchallenged rulers of the oceans (Breton Woods) that it’s a bad thing?

The UN is an example of countries somewhat abdicating authority to an outside ruling body, but is it really any different than empires forcing countries/territories to do things that were not in the best interest of the territories?
