        Well akshually - as a German who paid attention in history class:

        1. killing Nazis was an act of necessary self-defense to accomplish anything. A precondition, if you will
        2. what worked out pretty well was the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Plan and especially the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denazification - I will be forever grateful to the Allied Forces for getting this right. It made Germany the least fascist nation in Europe for well over 60 years.

        The long lasting effects were not permanent, unfortunately. I might like to ask for another allied victory over Nazi Germany soonish, with a new Denazification. Except there are no “Allied Forces” left that stand against Nazism :( And I am not trying to be dramatic, this is actually fucking with me for the past 10 years or so.

            The problem is your country got nukes and the largest conventional military in the world - we couldn’t help you out even if we wanted to. :(

                I am so devastated for the İranian people :'-( On the one side butchered by their regime, and on the other they are getting bombed by a pedo-criminal bunch of rapists and murderers trying to distract from their corruption.

                  People over here keep asking what’s the goal in Iran, what’s the strategy, what’s his plan; either ignoring or not realizing that the war in Iran has nothing to do with Iran as far as he’s concerned. It’s all about Epstein, and I’m ashamed of my fellow Americans who won’t accept that.

              There might be an opportunity after we blow through the missiles and drones over the next few years if a debt crisis wrecks our economy.

              Not holding my breath, but the future is uncertain.
