Five of swords

Yeah...you aren't going to find some snopes fact check that actually France and the uk forced ww2 to happen. The reason you won't find that is because the moral legitimacy of the current usa is based on thr myth that they defeated Hitler, the greatest evil in history. And you apparently are personally invested in that myth. As if the usa actually cares about you.

If local jurisdictions fail to provide the basic level of security that is required for a state to be legitimate, then the federal government has a responsibility to intervene. It failed. And nobody really has a reason to trust that their taxes are useful for anything.

Trump had 4 years to overthrow the us government and he couldn't even manage the bare minimum of law and order in the blm riots.

Then Joe Biden should execute Trump? This 'rule' of yours is just a rule. It changes nothing about the fundamental nature of power and politics. A 'democratic society' can still be violently overthrown, and none of the talk about 'rule of laws can deflect an artillery shell. It sounds like you just need the psychological comfort of believing that society works the way it pretends to: people just talking. But it doesn't. That is just a lie.

'Things happen for a reason' is just a comment too vague to be false and too vague to be useful. You are suggesting that God 'protected' Trump. Iam just amused by that sort of reasoning and how silly it becomes. Why did God allow Trump to get shot at in the first place? Why wouldn't God just magically have Trump win the election in 2020? This paradigm you are invoking results in more questions than answers.

I have no doubt that there are many happy people in Russia and North Korea. There may be some unhappy people also. I am an unhappy person in the usa... You seem to think the usa needs to 'do something' about these other countries...which you regard to be evil. Naturally that something would be some war..where millions or perhaps billions would die. Have you looked in the mirror recently?

So let's review the discussion here. I am claiming that Germany did not want war with the uk, but the uk wanted war with Germany. You are 'informing me' that the uk had some military agreement with poland. Yes...indeed. in fact many British politicians were upset that the issue between Hitler and czechoslovakia was resolved peacefully. And Hitler found a LOT of military gear in czechoslovakia when he added to his arsenal...but it clearly suggested that czeckoslovakia was preparing for war against Germany (they can hardly even go anywhere else, given their location) and their arming efforts were without question being funded and supported by western powers. Interesting first note. So after that frusterating peaceful resolution, the uk rushed a border guaruntee with poland (which decided to absorb danzig, contrary to the terms of the Versailles treaty)...because the uk observed that there was increasing tension between Germany and Poland. You are even offering that the uk deliberately wrote in a double standard for the ussr...because they wanted war with Germany but not the ussr. And you don't even have the logic neurons to see how all of these things actually support my claim and not yours. Since you claim to be so educated, I am sure you are aware that Hitler offered a grand peace proposal in 1936, with very fair terms and if followed by all relevant member states woukd have prevented the escalation to ww2. This proposal was rejected by the uk and france. Any theory about why?

Politics is violence. Condemning political violence is the same as condemning politics.

So God can magically cause bullets to miss but he can't vote?

Germany could have easily built nukes before us just like they got nuclear fission power before us. Hitler refused to create nukes, however, because their potential for destruction was too great. It would never be worth using nukes, according to him, even if it would win the war.

The thing I find so absurd about the entire discussion about this is how shocked and upset everyone pretends to be about 'political violence. Politics is intrinsically violent. If there was no possibility of war then states never would have begun to exist. And if the 'Democrat party' is willing to kill their enemies while the 'republican party' is too nice to consider it, then the republican party might as well accept an unconditional surrender. They lose.

Why bother voting if god has everything under control?

So I guess the very basic logic that if the uk really cared about the borders of poland they would have declared war on Russia went over your head...fascinating.

Face-palm. Again, I will ask why the uk did not declare war on the ussr. They invaded france because france declared war on Germany

The madman who wanted to dominate the world was Stalin, who western countries adored before anyone had even heard of Hitler. There is no evidence that Hitler wanted to do anything but unite the germans under one banner.

You haven't studied the history. And I never said there wasn't a treaty between poland and thr uk (and usa, in fact). So I doubt your reading comprehension.

Russia has already killed various us soldiers that were fighting for Ukraine. Clearly, the usa is very focused on this issue, which lends credence to the idea that Russia was forced to invade. Just like nobody cared when Stalin absorbed Lithuania, Estonia, Finland, and poland...but suddenly cared very much when Germany got involved

Russia isn't invading the usa, either

And now you want to invade Russia, despite the fact Russia never invaded canada.

See, this is the issue with you people thinking you know a lot about the history just because you watched Steven Spielberg movies. You should be aware of what you actually do not know. First of all, you are justtrivially wrong about danzig. It was supposed to be independent. That was part of the post ww1 agreement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_City_of_Danzig. Poland did in fact occupy danzig and basically compromise its sovereignty. That was the start of diplomatic tension between Hitler and poland. But that isn't even really the point. There was also rising hatred of germans among the polish people. https://www.wintersonnenwende.com/scriptorium/english/archives/articles/wrsynopsis.html ...and anti German sentiment continued after the war, of course, which resulted in mass forced expulsions of germans from polish territory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_and_expulsion_of_Germans_(1944–1950)#:~:text=Those Polish citizens who had,were naturalized as Polish citizens. And this program of anti German ethnic cleansing did result in massive amounts of deaths, probably over a million, but nobody in school is taught about the German equivalent t of the 'trail of tears'...and with good reason. But why? Are German and poles really do different? The legacy of poland and Lithuania basically comes from the order of tectonic knights who fought to Christianise the stubborn pagans of the east, and later fought against the Mongols. Prussia, which later became the heart of the German empire, was basically half German and half Slavic. So really it makes no sense that germans and poles would be incompatible people. Just like the difference today between Russians and ukranians is rather absurd. They are not very different as people. I would suggest that the hatred between germans and poles, as well as Russians and ukranians, is not organic but is e gendered by media and 'educational' institutions. Prior to hitlers invasion of poland, the anti German rhetoric in Poland was quite secere...and shortly after the war started many German students were massacred by poles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloody_Sunday_(1939) To be sure, there was of course a backlash of germans against poles. Polish anti German rhetoric will naturally produce german anti polish rhetoric. And who started it? Well maybe it was neither the germans nor the poles. Hitler himself had that point of view. He instead blamed a 'rootless international clique'...as his famous speech suggests. But regardless he felt the need to defend the german people, who were his people. Hitler delayed the invasion of poland for 2 weeks because they signaled they might want peace. Mansfield it his own autobiography mentioned this as if it was a horrible error because poles were able to use those 2 weeks to gather intelligence. Hitlers generals were far more eager for war than Hitler was himself. But you will never get a more complex and nuanced perspective from pop history. Nor a simple Google search. But if you do actual research, the parallel between Russia and Ukraine is quite interesting. And I would say western powers are 100% responsible for the war there as well.

Just false. Hitler did nothing to France or the uk when they declared war.

Well in essence you just seem to be moving the goalposts. Sure the usa kills civilians but sometimes that cannot be avoided in war. Okay. So. Exactly like I said. I guess killing civilians isn't the key part of defining a 'terrorist' organization.

Um...everyone knows about nuking Hiroshima, for example

So the usa has never deliberately killed civilians?

Name one then.
