No other countries are coming to save you from yourselves.
So to be clear, you're suggesting the reason for allied forces joining WW2 was to save Germany from itself?
I'm not disagreeing that Trump will pardon everyone involved, I'm not disagreeing that no other country cares if the US comes out the other end, I'm just saying, these regimes have a history of not sticking around long term. So I'm disagreeing with the statement that "nothing will happen". Shit is happening and will continue to happen until their reign of terror is brought to an end, just like WW2.
It’s not “their” reign of terror. They are a symptom.
This shit is the fault of all Americans. Those who voted for it, those who enable it, and those who are sitting on their asses either thinking this ends with a new administration or who are waiting for someone else to come put Nazis in the ground for them.
Blaming this on the Trump admin is like blaming a toddler for bringing a loaded handgun to school.
The adults in the room number in the hundreds of millions and you’re doing fuck all.
Your analogy can't have it both ways. Either the allies saved Germany from itself, implying there was a good portion saved from the fascist portion, OR the Nazi party was the fault of all Germans, those who voted for it, those who enable it, etc., and blaming any portion on Nazis/Hitler is like blaming a toddler. So which is it?
I'm 86% convinced you're a divisiveness bot at this point. Prove me wrong.
Germany was saved from itself as an undeserved RESULT of the allies’ victory. The allies didn’t go in to improve the lives of Nazi enabling German citizens, clearly.
The thing is that Germany was a land empire; to expand they had to piss off and/or invade their powerful neighbors. America can do whatever the heck it wants and as long as they don't do something dumb like attack China they'll be left mostly to their own devices. Hell, I'd bet good money that the EU won't lift a finger if they annex Greenland. We're looking at more of a Franco or Sukharto situation.
