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
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.
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.
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
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.
I've started a new thing. Once a week I post absolute shit tier bait and have fun watching people take a shitpost in shitpost completely genuinely. Ive done it 4 weeks in a row. I used to just do it every once in awhile.

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".

So... you've stayed away from government service? You decided someone else will fix what you think is wrong with our government?
How brave... boot.

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

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

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.

And if we're talking Nazis, just who is winning in America right now anyway
beliquititious@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 7 pts · 57d
Almost all of the remaining WW2 vets are dead. We didn't do shit, our vets lost their wars.
outlawcarl@fedinsfw.app · 6 pts · 57d
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?
