I wonder how upset Era would be if Mesa Verde's Pueblo cliff dwellings were targeted?  Suddenly everyone would remember to care about native americans because it would make white people look bad.

Or what if the ancient fortress of Masada was targeted.  I mean, like three years ago.  Back then it would have been a bad thing to ruin a historic Jewish cultural location.  Now, eh?  Maybe they deserve it.

I think people really underemphasize the two major blunders of World War II, even though we all know them we never really think about just how much they changed the result:
1. Germany attacking the Soviet Union.
2. Japan attacking the United States.

It's actually a lesson that's relevant to our anti-fascist revolutionaries. They feared the eventual conflict they convinced themselves had to happen so much that they triggered it early in hopes of winning a smashing blow over an enemy they didn't bother to understand. Rather than control Europe and Asia for decades and acquire nuclear weapons and who knows what else after years of indoctrinating the conquered nations.

The Japanese military actually understood what they were starting. Tojo was told that if they didn't win the war in a year they'd lose everything. This was optimistic too because Japan never had the capacity to attack the United States, so that first year was pushing token American forces out of places the US could take right back or more brilliantly just bypass. The German invasion was a similar misunderstanding that capturing Moscow meant something rather than the Soviets wouldn't just do what the Russians did to Napeleon again. I imagine the German military actually knew this too but they couldn't tell Hitler this, the Japanese at least could tell Tojo and he'd just overrule them. Hitler was delusional enough to think the UK would make peace with him and maybe even join up to defeat the Soviets.

If Germany never attacks the Soviet Union the United States (and British Empire) never supplies it. If the United States never supplies the Soviets and then doesn't enter the war, nobody on Earth has the capacity to defeat Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan.

Gross as it is to say, if someone's ideology intrinsically requires mass slaughter and colonization of the East, attacking the USSR when they did "makes sense." The Soviets were only getting stronger while Nazi Germany would only get weaker in comparison as their economy faltered. 

In fairness to German high command, they probably didn't believe that taking Moscow would be the definitive knockout blow given that it was hundreds of miles to the west of Operation Barbarossa's planned stopping point. Which is also insane of course. 

I'm sure there were private doubts in the German military but there is a lot of revisionist history from the German Generals trying to pin everything on Hitler in their memoirs. Easy to say you disagreed after the war but back then though? Under Hitler, the German military had just accomplished everything the Kaiser never could in a few short years of back to back victories.

It's the usual problem is political extremists. Total victory or death bust. 

The trans maniacs MUST have total victory over the TERFs, the chuds and the cis or they are simply being genocided.

This is what the gays understood with their push for equal rights. Small victories, consolidated over time, eventually lead to normalisation and a cultural shift. 

The Germans could have settled with Western Europe and isolating the British. Sat on their territorial gains and become the dominant political and cultural power. Instead, Hitler insisted on destroying the people he believed were racially and culturally inferior and taking their land for the German people.

Inflammatory comparison has to be the biggest bitch move in Resetera ban history.

I'll preface this by saying I haven't seen Civil War, but this one makes me laugh because their big complaint with the film was that it didn't explicitly say that the president was Trump/Republican and he was to blame for the civil war.

The funny thing is that IF the president was Trump/Republican, then it was most likely democrats like these types that started the civil war.

The question doesn't get answered in the film because the answer would set the fucking retards off.

The Soviets weren't getting stronger though, their economy was a complete disaster area and without US and UK aid would have never been able to supply their military. Peace would have stabilized the German economy with all of Europe behind it with no need to feed a war machine. A decade without support from the outside world and then the looting of Eastern Europe and the Soviets would have been even closer to collapse than they were under Stalin otherwise and had to reverse after his death even with all of that. War allowed their failed economy to actually work temporarily because there was only one consideration.

Pining all the blame on Hitler is accurate though because of the Fuhrerprinzip. You weren't allowed to oppose him within the system and it was his delusions that led to most of Germany's strategic decisions. He bought all the communist propaganda and never thought the US/UK would back the Soviets. If the military suspected that would happen then telling Hitler wasn't going to be an option, that'd just get you purged for those who would tell him otherwise. I also think Hitler should get the blame for wanting to continue the war rather than resting on the sweeping victories they just had, that wasn't a military say.

I think the flaw in World War I was they were locked into a plan that actually should have been reversed, and it was too beholden to the cult of the offensive. They should have held in the West and knocked out Russia first in the East. The actual events of the war more or less proved this.

Remember when these dudes would make fun of gun supporters for thinking they could take on the U.S. military?

Now they're arguing for giving up on democracy and taking to street violence against neighbors in order to prevent... uh... mass violence? I'm not exactly sure what their argument is other than KILL THE CHUDS BEFORE THEY KILL YOU!

Almost sounds excited about it. Like those lost Palestinians lives are worth it just to (temporarily) unify the  region against a single enemy. Thinking But that's none of my business...
