We would be eating sushi and Kobe beef and drinking saki or we would be having a October beer fest every month after we march like good little boys and girls should do.

While at the time it appeared dark and unknown to the people in the U.S. and free world the people in the know in the Axis powers knew a sleeping giant was awakened and they were doomed. The Axis countries imported their oil and steel for the war effort. The only thing that could have saved the Axis was if Germany developed the Atom bomb first. The rest is history. The dumb little dictator in Germany should have listened to his generals and been more patience.

Neither Germany nor Japan ever really had a chance. It's one thing to win battles and another to hold the territory. Germany never even got to the 2nd step. We can't even control Afghanistan so how did anyone expect Germany to prevail over Europe. The Third Reich was nothing more than a dream (costing the Russians 20,000,000 lives). The only way to build an empire like that is to acrue it very slowly or to defeat a people whose weaponry is greatly inferior to your own (Romans vs barabarians, Ghengis Khan vs far east tribes, British vs East India, etc.).
