If she says yes to the Skaven it's your duty as a proud Dawi to crush her skull lest she infiltrates the clan.

Would have? Who knows?
Could have? Yes.
America had an incredibly privileged strategic position compared to the Axis, and didn't share a land border with any of them.
The fears of an Axis invasion were simply impossible. The US Pacific fleet matched the Japanese and the Atlantic was stronger than Italy and Germany combined at the start of the war, just counting battleships and screens and ignoring that America was already moving towards a carrier based fleet unlike both of them. There is no world in which America falls to a naval invasion before it had time to mobilize.
And, unlike the Axis, America was and is the world's largest oil producer. It could afford to run its Navy day and night.
The only way the the Axis wins this hypothetical is if America was alone because it went full non-interventionist (like the Republican party wanted) and the Axis conquered the rest of the world first.
That all said, these circumstances would almost certainly lead to a stalemate rather than Axis capitulation. The Axis navies get destroyed (again), but America probably wouldn't be willing to pay the blood price to invade them, and the Manhattan Project was unlikely to succeed without the contributions of non-Americans.
From the American perspective, however, a stalemate is a victory. It's a defensive war and the goal is survival, not conquest.
Tl;Dr Stalin himself made a solo victory (survival) impossible for the USSR, the US Navy and the freaking Pacific and Atlantic Oceans made it impossible for America to lose.
The Nazis had about 4 million people in uniform at the start of the war, America has about 1.5 million today, but it's not a bad comparison considering the last time American debt exceeded the GDP was the end of WW2.
Fair enough.
How about "coup attempt?"
The Soviets could not have won without the Lend Lease, even Stalin admitted this.
Of course, if Stalin hadn't murdered half of their officers and had an icepick put in the brains of the guy who built the Red Army in the first place it might have been a different story.
If anyone's interested in further reading the MEFO Bills are definitely interesting from an economic perspective.
I'm sure it wasn't the first army built on credit, but it was definitely the biggest.
Not how wars work alliance against alliance, that's the point of an alliance.
It's a boss area in Elden Ring. They're saying every step you take in Bloodborne has a purpose compared to wandering around an openworld setting aimlessly and kind of hoping you're going to an appropriate area.
Well. Less DLC. At least you can opt out of the corporate trackers...
Legacy dungeon with a translation error somewhere?
Most civilized nations.
Is it worth being "against?" Seems like the kind of act that is best met with apathy at worst.
Oh, you gave some money away to make money. Okay?
