British Army Pulls Out Of Germany

What's Ireland going to be then?

Wood Elves, from Mirkwood. It's rather mirky in Ireland.

Just lose the giant spiders, and it's a deal.

Smaug the dragon must be Welsh then.

I thought we were Gondor? And the Americans were the Riders of Rohan, fucking cowboys.

I thought the Americans were the eagles - do absolutely nothing until almost the end.

LOL.

I love this Euro argument. The Merkins claim credit, but only step in to mop up at the end.

Meanwhile, we entered the war after December 7, 1941, and the war lasted until August/September 1945. Most of the war was ahead of us, and even as late as June 4, 1944, victory over Germany was in doubt. Had Normandy failed, in June 1944, several years after the US got involved, and it very well might have failed for a variety of reasons, the war could have been lost to Germany and Japan. That's what Euros consider "getting in at the end."

Moreover, Euros are such douches when it comes to this kind of thing. Have the US go into a war in the middle east, and then the US is "sticking its nose into other people's business." Have the Euros fail to take care of their own back yard, and let the French and the Brits get their ass in a frying pan, and then it's "hey! Merkins! Where are you???? Why aren't you rushing over here to help us in this war you had nothing at all to do with....????" Germany rises to power and the rest of Europe does nothing. They annex part of Czechoslovakia, Austria, etc. Nothing. They violate all the peace accords from WW1 -- Euros do NOTHING. Finally, Brits and French declare war when the Germans invade Poland in 1939, and it's "hey! Merka! What's the holdup???" Gee, sorry guys. You bring a fucking war on yourselves, and then you want a country that hardly even had a fucking army in 1939 to go 3,000 miles and fight for you? What the fuck? We had like 3 ships and a bunch of balsawood biplanes in 1939. And, you're bitching that we didn't get involved?

And, the same shit for WW1 -- the Euros are always like - Merka didn't get involved until the war was 2 years old. Well, sure. Of course we didn't get involved. It wasn't our flippin' war. Since the Brits and French won in WW1, we're supposed to think of them as the "good guys." But, WW1 was just another in a long line of fights between colonial powers. Austria Hungary gets pissed at Serbia because some douche shoots some Duke? Russia has an alliance with Serbia, so they just have to invade Austria Hungary to help Serbia? Germany sides with Austria Hungary because of their alliance and they go against Russia. France and England step in to help their ally, Russia. And, the Ottoman Turks come in to help their buddies the Germans. So, you have a bunch of colonial powers, none of which has any claim to moral superiority, except perhaps Serbia which was invaded because some jackass not associated with the Serbian government shot the Archduke and then Austria Hungary feels they need conquer Serbia as a result.

So, yeah -- we didn't get involved in World War 1 right away either. We had to come in later to bail you fuckers out because you didn't have the capacity to take care of your own business. Instead, we're dragged into it because our ships keep getting sunk, and then we get telegrams sent to Mexico asking them to invade the United States across the southern border. I mean, FFS!

We're always protecting Europe from itself, not only WW1 and WW2, but then in the cold war -- who fucking held off the Soviets from western Europe? France? West Germany? Italy? Come on. Get in at the end, my ass. It's more like "try as we might to stay out of your bullshit, and then finally get dragged in because there is no way stay out, and then spend the next 70 years acting as your army and Navy so you don't have your own --"

I mean -- Jesus H. Christ dudes -- we even did your fighting in Kosovo, Serbia and Bosnia in the 1990s. "NATO" action my ass. That was the US which, again, took care of the business you wankers couldn't handle! Limeys, Frogs, Krauts, and Degos, the lot of ya!

Nah, war was decided in Stalingrad. You helped with your lend-leasing to the Soviets so pat yourself in the back there!

[Lozzer]

Germany has extraordinary soft-power, and possibly the most in the entirety of Europe and the world. It doesn't need an expansive military, not when it can sell its arms instead, and maintain international dominance through industrial illustriousness. I'd happily live under a German government, though perhaps I already am.

Myopic view. Normandy was not an afterthought, and was not irrelevant to the war. Stalingrad ended 2 years and 2 months before Germany surrendered, and nearly 1 1/2 years before the invasion of Normandy.

Stalingrad was "a" decisive battle, but to say the war was won in February 1943 is pretty silly. The people actually fighting the war didn't think they had won it, and were just mopping up in Stalingrad. Moreover, the Americans had been involved for well over a year by that point, and it wasn't before the US got involved.
