So very true. I was going to point that out to him but accepted the fact he would just deny it anyways

Sh, that has been effectively memory holed.

Literally nobody remembers Patton or what happened to him. Greatest General in American history, idgaf, fight me about it.

He was assassinated because he wanted to go to Russia and stomp out the bolsheviks/commies.

The Patton Papers, published 1974. Must ****ing read for real Americans. He realized we actually lost.
On May 7, 1945, just before the German capitulation, Patton had a conference in Austria with U.S. Secretary of War Robert Patterson. Patton was gravely concerned over the Soviet failure to respect the demarcation lines separating the Soviet and American occupation zones. He was also alarmed by plans in Washington for the immediate partial demobilization of the U.S. Army.

Patton said to Patterson: "Let's keep our boots polished, bayonets sharpened, and present a picture of force and strength to the Red Army. This is the only language they understand and respect."

Patterson replied, "Oh, George, you have been so close to this thing so long, you have lost sight of the big picture."

Patton rejoined:

"I understand the situation. Their (the Soviet) supply system is inadequate to maintain them in a serious action such as I could put to them. They have chickens in the coop and cattle on the hoof -- that's their supply system. They could probably maintain themselves in the type of fighting I could give them for five days. After that it would make no difference how many million men they have, and if you wanted Moscow I could give it to you. They lived on the land coming down. There is insufficient left for them to maintain themselves going back. Let's not give them time to build up their supplies. If we do, then . . . we have had a victory over the Germans and disarmed them, but we have failed in the liberation of Europe; we have lost the war!"
RIP Patton, one of the last great Americans.

Spit on FDR.

Op thinks its OK to steal land and resources and then nuke other countries with said stolen resources. I expect op to be red in 30 mins.

Don't worry op. Next y'all drop a nuke, its not going to end so well for y'all. It would be the end of America.

After we take America and give it back to the natives, we going straight after the Brits, since the bloodline is closely related.

forcing the government to surrender doesn't mean the insurgency stops.

what's the point of war? you have to benefit from it. Trying to conquer all these chitty nations would be a net-loss. what's the point of nuking them and turning the country into a wasteland? There's nothing to be gained.

Colonialism was the nuclear option to keep a strategic asset. The European powers would've rather had reliable tributary states that paid them, and provided them when resources... And that is the arrangement America has with most of its allies right now. We want to park missiles in SK and Japan ? They have to let us. We pay em, but it's far cheaper than trying to "conquer" them.

But since those states didn't want to play ball, the Europeans had to colonize them by force.
It's the same reason why Americans bought their slaves from African traders instead of running around Africa with big nets.

Nobody can take Afganistan.

Nobody. It is nicknamed the graveyard for great empires for a reason.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...ng_Afghanistan

lol

Lost 2 times since 1722, one of those was a civil war.

Safavid Iran Empire? Victory, empire dissolves 7 years after.

Sihk Empire? Stalemate

British Empire and India? Win. Stalemate. Win.

Ottoman Empire? Victory.

Qajar Dynasty? Victory

Soviet Union? Basically a victory, peace treaty in Afghan favor.

Later, 79-89. Soviets lose. USSR dissolves.

Soviet Union was pretty powerful at the end of the war and we were all war weary as well. Truman already know the Soviets would be a threat but the US was not in a position to have another massive world war with the Soviets and even with atomic weapons, it was not feasible. In any case the Soviets got their bomb in 1949 so it brought a kind of stale mate situation.

Nope, we could have taken the USSR fairly easy if we went from Germany to there without stopping.

They had no real aircraft.

They had no real tanks.

They had no real logistics.

They had no real machinery.

At the risk of getting negged by all participants of this thread, I would also like to remind you to look into the theory that maybe the outcome of the war was already planned beforehand and that the whole thing has been a big theatrical play. The fact that it is called Theater of war is probably a coincidence.
Not saying that I can agree or disagree with this theory, but it is worth checking out.

But im a liar and i make chit up so just go buy owems bio and read the TRUTH for your self
Have you read the biography? I'm not trying to buy a book, and I've looked it up quickly to see if I could find anything on him shaking his hand and and gifting him flowers and I can't find anything.

I did find this, which I think is pretty interesting. Read the third paragraph. He didn't shake Owens hand or any other athletes hand after the first day because he had to show Olympic neutrality - either congratulate everyone or no-one. He chose to honour no-one.

But it’s only fair to recognise the sacrifices on all sides equally.

Just a pity communism over shadowed their heroism post war.

The question in the OP is why don't we use our nukes and conquer the world with superior military might. We are fighting a defensive war in Afghanistan, trying to fix it like your mother tried to fix you when you were growing up (both failures).

If the US really wanted to, we would just start killing civilians along with militants as we did with the strategic bombing of Germany, Bombing of Tokyo, Nagasaki, and Hiroshima.

Terrorists engaging you in some chithole valley and the ******* farmers don't want to cooperate? Fuk "rules of war", bomb everything and everyone. US would have done this in Vietnam if it weren't for potential retaliation from China/Russia and lefties. You can't seriously doubt the US could care less about turning Afghanistan into glowing green sand if war was the priority.

What?! By 1945, the Soviet war machine was equipped with thousands of artillery, tanks, planes, millions of soldiers, massive logistics, etc. Even if they were technologically not as superior as the Allies, they had numerical superiority and more importantly the will to fight.

Honestly, the US should be dismantled by other countries by now. Beats me how it hasn't happened yet. Its a land that was stolen and then they use the land's resources to go to war with other countries, lmao. Can you believe the Americucks has the balls to napalm my mother land, under the guise of giving freedom?

I did find this, which I think is pretty interesting. Read the third paragraph. He didn't shake Owens hand or any other athletes hand after the first day because he had to show Olympic neutrality - either congratulate everyone or no-one. He chose to honour no-one.

So, Owens was not personally snubbed by Hitler. However, Owens did feel that he had been snubbed by someone: U.S. Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt. A month after the Olympic Games, Owens told a crowd, “Hitler didn’t snub me—it was [Roosevelt] who snubbed me. The president didn’t even send me a ********.” Roosevelt never publicly acknowledged Owens’s triumphs—or the triumphs of any of the 18 African Americans who competed at the Berlin Olympics. Only white Olympians were invited to the White House in 1936.

Stop slurping propaganda, you are better than that.

How does a country who just literally genocided like 27 million+ of its own people to hold off Nazi's have anything left?

Again, y'all need to read 1974 Patton Papers.

I will quote it again.
On May 7, 1945, just before the German capitulation, Patton had a conference in Austria with U.S. Secretary of War Robert Patterson. Patton was gravely concerned over the Soviet failure to respect the demarcation lines separating the Soviet and American occupation zones. He was also alarmed by plans in Washington for the immediate partial demobilization of the U.S. Army.

Patton said to Patterson: "Let's keep our boots polished, bayonets sharpened, and present a picture of force and strength to the Red Army. This is the only language they understand and respect."

Patterson replied, "Oh, George, you have been so close to this thing so long, you have lost sight of the big picture."

Patton rejoined:

"I understand the situation. Their (the Soviet) supply system is inadequate to maintain them in a serious action such as I could put to them. They have chickens in the coop and cattle on the hoof -- that's their supply system. They could probably maintain themselves in the type of fighting I could give them for five days. After that it would make no difference how many million men they have, and if you wanted Moscow I could give it to you. They lived on the land coming down. There is insufficient left for them to maintain themselves going back. Let's not give them time to build up their supplies. If we do, then . . . we have had a victory over the Germans and disarmed them, but we have failed in the liberation of Europe; we have lost the war!"
and then he was assassinated.

Terrorists engaging you in some chithole valley and the ******* farmers don't want to cooperate? Fuk "rules of war", bomb everything and everyone. US would have done this in Vietnam if it weren't for potential retaliation from China/Russia and lefties. You can't seriously doubt the US could care less about turning Afghanistan into glowing green sand if war was the priority.
Annihilation isn't conquest. What good is it to conquer a radioactive wasteland? lol

Conquering = cultural unification

It is not a nation that will conquer the world, it is the ideology of science and a commitment to the betterment of mnkind that will triumph over all nations.

LOL are you legitimately retarded? The Soviet Red Army circa 1945 was the most powerful army on the face of the planet. Without nukes in the picture, they could have completely steamrolled the US off Eurasia.

Pre-WW2, the Soviets were fought to a near-standstill by Finland. By 1945, they were able to send a portion of the Red Army over to China and defeat the Imperial Japanese army in 11 days. Less than 2 weeks. Let that sink in.

They had an abundance of war machinery and enough logistics learned in the pitiless killing grounds of the Eastern Front to defeat the Wehrmacht, previously the finest fighting force on the face of the planet.

That must be why, with home field advantage and Germany so far from itself that the

Soviets lost 11 million soldiers.

10 million civs.

9 million to famine and disease

14 million wounded

27 million+ dead


vs

5-7 million dead Germans.


yeah bro, ****ing powerhouse.


Also, they signed a treaty with Japan giving Japan territory claim. You dumbass retard. Don't come back.

In April 1941, the USSR signed the Soviet–Japanese Neutrality Pact with Japan, recognizing the territorial integrity of Manchukuo, a Japanese puppet state.

Manchukuo, officially the State of Manchuria prior to 1934 and the Empire of Manchuria after 1934, was a puppet state of the Empire of Japan in Northeast China and Inner Mongolia from 1932 until 1945. It was founded in 1932 after the Japanese invasion of Manchuria, and in 1934 it became a constitutional monarchy. Under the de facto control of Japan, it had limited international recognition.

SO SCARY POWERHOUSE OMG


Pwned




American education system at work.

Japan was an ungodly powerhouse nation. They destroyed everyone and everyone was afraid of them.
