Was this lecture aimed at me or someone else?
definitely aimed at you, but also edifying for anyone who might think the USA was solidly on the side of good during the war. The US entered the war in 41, but they refused Stalin's repeated requests to open a second front against Germany. They went to north africa first and then italy, waiting until the German eastern front had nearly collapsed before landing in Normandy. The US was essentially racing against the red army, trying to prevent the soviet union from liberating the entirety of europe under the banner of liberation for humankind. Once the US reached Germany and peace began, the US almost immediately formed NATO and appointed Nazi war criminals into its upper ranks while putting nazi war ciminals in charge of west germany. The yankee government is bad and always has been. throughout all of its history it only has made good choices when it has been dragged kicking and screaming.
Oh, for God's sake - piss off, tankie. If you want to willfully misinterpret history to suit your Stalin fetish, go do it with your own kind.
Sorry that the Soviets prevented the West from putting as many Nazis in charge of Germany as you would have wanted.
Oh look... it's the tankie hive mind. I'd roll my eyes... but you don't deserve the energy expenditure.
Not Mad
Imagine hearing someone talk like this in irl...blindly screeching tankie as if anyone gives af
Imagine tankies talking IRL at all... I guess you just don't handle rejection very well.
