On Ben Shapiro's Claim that the Allies Liberated Europe In WW2

I enjoy Ben and probably agree with him 60 to 80% of the time but this is a patently false statement in that not only did we NOT liberate Poland (that being the whole point of the fucking conflict), we also allowed virtually all of Eastern Europe to fall into the Soviet Sphere where those countries became little more than slave-states. Granted, the dude is probably talking about France, Norway, and the other Western European states that Hitler was occupying but even here there's some nuance that Ben is leaving out; namely, that it was England and France that first declared war on Germany and so Germany's invasion of France was purely a response measure (what, they were supposed to wait around for France to invade and then occupy them?) and that the German occupation of Norway was purely the result of them getting there before the British (they, too, had planned to take over Norway just like they had done in Iceland). Yeah, it was arguably a good thing to defeat the Nazis (though, yes, I would have much preferred that Germany remain strong to act as a counterweight to the much more dangerous Soviets - similar to Saddam Hussein being a counterweight to the Iranians) but I'm sorry, this whole glorifying of WW2 after the fact when it was the very definition of a pyrrhic victory really needs to stop.
