LOL retarded Suit pretending that USSR didn't curbstomp Japan out of China in 11 days and that they didn't 'have tanks'. What a fkn joke of a poster.

Real life isn't Independence Day you parochial twat. The US could never have beaten the Soviets in an extended WW2 without the use of nukes.

Besides which the American public would never stand for the losses required to engage the Soviets. The US literally had to invent the atomic bomb in order to avoid invading Japan. Projected 250K deaths had the US leadership chitting their pants about being able to fight the campaign. You know what Stalin called the deaths of 250K Soviet troops? Tuesday.

By the time a million American men had been blown apart by the largest artillery collection ever assembled and ground to a pulp under the tracks of thousands of T34s, the Yanks would be exiting Europe as fast as they could.

Would you prefer that we kill the population by conventional means and replace them? We aren't there for their sand or goats. Natural resources can be extracted without muh cultural unification.

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.
The USA DID bomb the chit out of Vietnam, In fact, they dropped more bombs on Vietnam than ALL of WW2 you pathetic airsoft commando.

From history.com

What happened to Israel during World War 2?
As a result of the Holocaust in Europe, many Jews illegally entered Palestine during World War II. Jewish groups employed terrorism against British forces in Palestine, which they thought had betrayed the Zionist cause. At the end of World War II, in 1945, the United States took up the Zionist cause.

The U.S. shouldn't have taking up the Zionist cause which has involved in the Middle East perpetually.

As stated earlier, it was a defensive war in which no US soldier stepped foot into North Vietnam. Korea was also a defensive war, as General MacArthur wanted to liberate NK and China, but the American public and other generals had other plans on mind, and thus relieved him. But you can keep insulting people instead of using your brain, that's probably easier for you.

It was the other way around, the Germans were terrified of Russia, that’s why they surrendered to the United States, because they knew the Russians would annihilate them.

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.

We literally nuked Japan 3 days prior to the final Soviet-Mongolian-Sino vs Japan conflict.

You can keep wishing and hoping, but the facts are that USSR couldn't beat them.

Border conflict for 7 years between Monglia & Soviet vs Japan, ended in a neutral agreement to let Japan have Manchuria.

Just fyi the Soviets killed people because they had the same exact way of thinking as you. They felt like the previous regime was a cancerous ideology and they needed to exterminate/annihilate it.

Keep coping, USA lost the Vietnam war. Clearly reading isn’t part of the American education system. They dropped more bombs on Vietnam than the entire world combined in WWII and still couldn’t win the war.

That’s no surprise when USA spends all of its money on military and zero in education and healthcare.

Just want to say this is a special and amazing thread. Learned a lot of new things, thanks OP!

In summary:

1. Hitler was upset at the Jews for the Dresden Fire Bombings which somehow kills more than Nagasaki and Hiroshima combined despite all city planners and officials claiming about 25k killed(Feb 1945)

2. Hitler hops in a Nazi engineered time machine and travels back in time to 1942 to build extermination camps at Treblinka, Sobihor, Belzac as part of Operation Reinhardhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Höfle_********

3. Hitler then travels in time to 1943 to instruct the Auschwitz prison camp leaders to construct several more gas chambers and begin full scale extermination orders on a much more massive scale than before

4. Hitler then travels forward in time to Jan 1945 (present)

5. Hitler, for reasons completely unknown, doesn't use the time machine to change his idiotic decisions to regroup and refit before attacking Dunkirk beach, invading the Soviet Union, not sending extra Panzer divisions to Normandy after the Allied landings, or any number of completely inept decisions he made during the war.

6. Hitlers kills himself after Soviet divisions encircle his underground bunker(April 1945)

7. Wikipedia is launched in 2001, nearly half a century later, with the sole focus of disseminating false history about the Holocaust and Nazi Germany

I mean if we really tried to conquer Iraq (and played by their rules, not ours), it would have been done relatively easily IMO. But since we don't kill women and children (a good thing) it made it a lot harder. Especially since some of those children had bombs and other chit

ITT no one but Mr. Beer recognizes the joocyness of the late-war Red Army.

The Soviets had figured out their own version of blitzkreig and were using it to wipe out literal Germanarmiesby 1944. The US brahs had only faced small handfuls of German defenders by Eastern Front standards, usually composed of second-rate troops like old men and convalescing wounded, and they always had an overwhelming advantage in firepower. They had never picked on anyone their own size, much less the Red Army in full curbstomp mode.

Should the US have? That's a question that we can mull over forever.

The opportunity was definitely there though, the Soviets were in tatters by the end of the war.
It is not so much the major events as the small day-to-day decisions that map the course of our living. . . Our lives are, in reality, the sum total of our seemingly unimportant decisions and of our capacity to live by those decisions. ― Gordon B. Hinckley
