    and lets not forget what stopped hitler wasnt electoralism. it was the soviets, and they needed force at that point.

        the soviets were the ones to bear the weight of all the casualties. while your heroes were sipping tea waiting for them to be destroyed by the nazis…

          Exactly, the country that shared a massive land border with the NAZIs and was a direct target of their aggression suffered many more casualties than the ones what didn’t, who’da thunk it? Without the combined efforts of essentially the entire rest of the world, the USSR would have been toast.

            yall need some history. the USSR and germany did not share borders until much later, the west was nowhere to be found by the time they reached berlin.

            the us mostly really only helped by the end when victory over nazis was already on the horizon.

        Nah they’re an .ml user… It’s all about soviets. USSR is literal utopia to them and didn’t do anything wrong.

        Forget that the Nazi efforts were always more focused on the western fronts…
