So it was about territory then? They took lots of territory and they wanted to invade and conquer Britain which is…..checks notes…territory as well.

Territory yes, but ethnic cleansing was probably the part of the thing that then put us at war.

 

Look at how France fell in days, many other countries practically before brunch.

 

You could argue they did resist but look at the how the french still hate us even after liberation. Spain and Italy just rubber stamped it as they were fascist leaders and just joined the big boy.

Maybe your education in a neutral country forgot about that, what about the Bosnia ?

Mate, I'm well versed in the plight of the Jewish people over the last few thousand years. I was questioning your non-sensical ramblings about WW2 not being about territory. 

 

Go take a sip of coffee and think things through. 

 

Edit: ahh, wait, I've got it. In your eyes, it only became a proper world war after Britain joined in. Makes sense now.

Play dumb all you like, you may believe they are my incoherent ramblings but you telling the world it was just about territory is BS.

Don’t forget the Russians started it with ze Germans … they where not the only ones who wanted more territory or the idealism spread … I genuinely think if the Russians had not lost the millions of men they did they would of carried on in Europe but as it was they got all of the eastern part.

Fine reword it if you like, the average Frenchman might not but everyone in the political class does.

Why?

[peds]

Azincourt, obviously.

the west does not want to send their latest weapons to Ukraine because there is a possibility of them falling into Russian hands and the possibility of WW3 is a lot closer than the general public realize. also, the art of war has changed significantly with the development of drones which is ongoing in a big way at the moment.   

[Mesterh]

I dunno, surely there has to be a lot of intel to be had sending the latest weapons into war.

I think WW3, like a proper nuclear WW3 is not on the cards, a non nuclear WW3 is probably happening right now.
