Same griftbitch that just went to hang out with Putin?

Why would she do that, she's married to a fascist

I think Hitler would have hated Trump. Pretty sure he did end up hating Mussolini. Fascism isn't a big friendship club.

Hitler considered Italians to be racially inferior to even the French. Also there was little cooperation between the axis powers. They didn't share much technology and or industrial power. Unlike the allies who were far more cooperative.

For example many people make a big deal about Hitler's plan for nuclear weapons... but what no one talks about is Japan's nuclear program... and how much closer they got to making a functioning nuke. There was very little information sharing between Japan and Germany, however.

In terms of industry, the Italian air force often had decent airframes but poor engines. The Germans had excellent engines but didn't do much to help the Italians with their air force logistical issues.

Take this in comparison to the US which absolutely flooded its allies with everything from cutlery to explosives to fuel and everything in-between. The Soviet army was bolstered greatly by American trucks, jeeps, and heavy machinery that would have made winning the war incredibly difficult.

I bet this revisionism is what they teach Americans.
Only missing the "we liberated Europe and beat the nazis"

Yeah, I sometimes wonder why the European and Japanese fascists even allied.

I'm doing a hearts of iron 4 playthrough as germany and just said no when the option of allying with Japan came up. It's that alliance that ends up pulling the US into the war. This way I think Japan will have their own little war with the US and China while I fight it out with Britain and finish that up before even looking at the Soviets funny.

The US wanted war with Japan for economic reasons, violence is invariably their way of winning.
They entered war in Europe royally late when they knew the Soviets would win it.
And to prevent them from getting all of it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah, it's specifically fine a new outgroup to blame if they've eliminated the previous one. They have allies or convenience, but they wouldn't keep them if it didn't benefit themselves somehow.

Rest in Piss bozo

To be fair, she can get away with it, unlike, say, Queen Elizabeth II.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 days ago (1 children)

She gets away not talking to trump, mostly because she's dead.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

*pretending to be dead. Now we know the real reason she "died"

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago

That is the opposite of being petty.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

I'm on public transport and I just giggled. Love it.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Sometimes I wish I could not know English for 2 hours.

Write a hundred page essay, you’ll feel like you don’t

日本語を食べません

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

I also don't eat Japanese

Sucks to explain jokes, but this is internet recommended practice to avoid any kind of everyday trouble with Japanese officials etc. Use at your own risk
