    Just because someone might actually read your nonsense post:

    People should understand what WW2 actually was. Yeah, the US basically just sold guns and materials to the allies until Pearl Harbor. And we do very much take WAY too much credit in ways that marginalize how long the Brits (among others) held out for.

    But basically everyone (except the aggressors) in WW2 only got involved when they were either under attack or very clearly next in line. That was mostly a response to how brutal WW1 was and how many countries resented being pulled in to one of the bloodiest wars in (modern) human history because of ink on a page.

    Why does that matter? Because look at the war in Ukraine. Nobody is going to help anybody until it is clear they can “get away with it” or they have no other choice. NATO left Ukraine to die in that first few days and only stepped in once it was clear they weren’t going to be steamrolled and could bleed russia for a few months (now years).

    Nobody is going to step in until trump’s america points the guns at them.


    Also, I’ll just add on. If ANYONE thinks that people gave a shit about the horrific genocide before, during, and after WW2? Maybe look up how Europe and the US treated The Jews prior to the war. What Russia/Stalin did to… a shit ton of people after. Or how people STILL don’t give a fuck about what Imperial Japan did (and what American and Russian soldiers, in particular, did as well).

    Finding the concentration camps was great for political capital for the various generals and politicians who wanted to have power post war. And while I would like to think the soldiers on the ground were horrified and motivated to “finish the fight” by seeing it… it had jack all to do with why they were out there in the first place.
