Sometimes it’s okay to discuss things and consider them from a different angle than the one you’re used to. It can help give you a new perspective on things. Broadening your understanding of things.

The Battle of Stalingrad ended on February 2, 1943, with the surrender of German forces after months of intense fighting, marking a major turning point in World War II.

D-Day occurred on June 6, 1944, marking the Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied France.

Your response to me only makes sense if you think I am saying that the Soviets could have beaten the Nazis on their own with no lend lease program or the British holding out against the Nazis.

Am I saying that? Can you quote one of the sections of my comments that is giving you that impression?

If you would stop getting defensive for no reason and actually read my comments, maybe you’ll actually be able to understand what I am saying?

Let me lay it out, as clear as fucking possible for you:

• Americans provided material support to allies fighting the nazis

• The goal of this is not to stop fascist ideology, but to keep the status quo maintained in Europe and Asia

• The Soviets win Stalingrad and begin pushing west. Nazi defeat is all but inevitable.

• American inaction here would result in a red german and red france. Possibly even red Italy and the overthrowing of Franco’s fascist regime in Spain.

• Americans prioritize victory in Europe over the Pacific, even though the Japanese navy is the bigger threat to them.

Ergo:

• It’s not the defeat of fascism that the Americans were interested in, it was maintaining a status quo and preventing communism from spreading through Europe

THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATRS OF AMERICA

You’re welcome to insult me all you like, but then have the balls to answer the question i proposed to you.

He’s so beautiful

What sort of extensions would one use for a note taking app? What sort of notes to you take with it?

A little less than half of Americans are my enemy. This is also the same percentage of Canadians I consider to be my enemy.

If no D-Day then the Soviets just liberate Europe all on their own. Why risk so many American lives unless you’re preparing for the next war?

Japanese also thought the Americans would give them better terms of surrender than the British or thr Soviets.

I’m not saying America was pro-nazi (though some were). I’m saying the US could’ve fought Japan and just continued to fund the Soviets. The red army was more than up to the task of sweeping through every country held by the Nazis after they broke them in the East.

They didn’t though, they prioritized victory in Europe ahead of victory in the Pacific. That is because they were racing against the communists to liberate as much as Europe as they could. They were already planning for the next war.

Remember how the justification for nuking civilians in Japan was so American soldiers didn’t have to give their lives taking the island? So why sacrifice American lives in Europe if you know the USSR is months away from totally steamrolling Nazi Germany? There has to be a geopolitical reason.

Still looks amazing

Why would you ever want to meet someone and get married so quickly? Are you more interested in the appearance of what you consider to be a successful life, rather than having a life partner?

Fire 200,000 federal workers.

Destroy tge USPS, obliterating snall businesses.

They really are doing everything they can to get labor costs down. This tight labor market these last few years must have been driving the upper class insane.

I would go as far to say the reason they did d-day wasn’t to defeat the nazis, but to liberate as much of western europe as they could before the soviets set up social republics in france and the netherlands.

Are you three even old enough to remember an internet before the algorithms?

Sure! We can do chronological, most liked, most disliked, most comments. Solid metrics though, nothing that the social media companies can obscure

I hope his last years are spent in agony. I hope the nurses let him stew in a shit filled diaper for weeks on end. I hope they don’t feed him. I hope he has to endure unending bed lice and shingles.

It’s tough when she’s really turned on and there’s just so much juices pouring out that they’re getting in your mouth and down your throat and you’re just trying not to gag 🤢

DOGE stands for Destruction of Government Efficiency

I think there is something about the dates that means the next job reports won’t account for these layoffs but the one after it will.

God i love the tag feature on boost for lemmy
