What part of the US are you from? The part Europe created by discovering America? Or the part the colonists created by genociding the natives?

[–] Return_of_Chippy@lemmy.world 1 points 40 minutes ago

Isn't the former only possible by way of the latter?

[–] outlawcarl@fedinsfw.app 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

You did save or kick Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Swizerland or Ireland.

Also on another note do the Yanks think they got nothing out of this that they just happened to become a super power beacuse or god or somthing?

[–] Return_of_Chippy@lemmy.world 1 points 52 minutes ago

I don't recognize any of those countries

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 17 points 2 hours ago

Considering how much I pay for gas lately, I'd say I live in the part of Europe the US fucked up - also called "the world".

[–] harmbugler@piefed.social 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

The war that was two generations ago? Yeah, I was real good at football in college until I busted my knee, then got hooked on meth, lost half my teeth and my family disowned me.

[–] Return_of_Chippy@lemmy.world 1 points 52 minutes ago

Sorry to hear about your tough journey.

Almost all of the remaining WW2 vets are dead. We didn't do shit, our vets lost their wars.

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 7 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

I've noticed a large German presence on fediverse and I don't think it's right to refer to them as "the asses you've kicked".

Every Nazi Soldier is very likely already dead since about 2013, unless some Panzer teenagers lived past 96.

[–] harmbugler@piefed.social 2 points 1 hour ago

And if we're talking Nazis, just who is winning in America right now anyway

[–] shittydwarf@piefed.ca 11 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

Shows up at the end of the war: glory pls

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

shows up from the other side of the world after 6 years of material and monetary support and recovering from a total economic collapse and fighting a completely different war on the other side of the world and then sticking around for 50 years to rebuild everything for free that you destroyed and make sure you didn't end up as one of Putin's puppet states today

There are many, many things to criticize the US for, but Roosevelt's handling of WW2 was without a doubt the country's most noble time.

E: did it ever occur to you as well to correlate the war ending right after the US showed up? Lol

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

Like staying out of it until they had no choice?

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

You guys said it was under control

[–] TachyonTele_Esq@piefed.social 1 points 2 hours ago

Would you rather they had a Conscription Crisis?

[–] Late2TheParty@lemmy.world -4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, a LOT of young people from the US died to make it happen. Yeah, it was winding down, but people from the US joined up in Canada and Britain and etc to help before the US officially joined. We can recognize their heroic efforts without snark.

What have you done, boot?

[–] shittydwarf@piefed.ca 3 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

Well my Canadian family was in the war years before the Americans ended their isolationist policy and only my grandfather returned. We also declared war on Japan after Pearl Harbour before even the USA did.

[–] TachyonTele_Esq@piefed.social -1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

That's only because Canada didn't have any control over their foreign policy and automatically went to war when the UK did.

Which, btw, Canada immediately made sure would not happen again.

I wouldn't be so high and mighty there kiddo.

[–] TachyonTele_Esq@piefed.social -2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

What exactly is incorrect, and how?

[–] shittydwarf@piefed.ca 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

At that time Canada had complete control over their foreign policy and voted to declare war, initially against Germany they waited several days to to underline the choice was not mandatory

[–] TachyonTele_Esq@piefed.social 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Yawn.

When the United Kingdom declared war on Germany in August 1914, Canada was a Dominion of the British Empire with full control over only domestic affairs and thus automatically joined the First World War. After the war, the Canadian government wanted to avoid a repeat of the Conscription Crisis of 1917.

When Britain entered World War II in September 1939, some experts suggested that Canada was still bound by Britain's declaration of war because it had been made in the name of their common monarch.
