Its the internet, even if SA is slightly less terrible then most places, you should probably state the obvious just to be safe. Guavanaut posted:I thought that was half the joke. Mock the former world power by poking them where it hurts. They've never been made to feel entrenched shame for their atrocities like the Germans have, so if you tried the "you murdered people up and down Europe, Africa, and pretty much everywhere else, had racial polices that made South Africa look progressive, and would have totally done the Final Solution if Germany hadn't thought of it first" you'd just get a Good point.

yes, I know that, I wasn't implying otherwise. I was acknowledging that France did contribute some forces to the invasion of Germany, but that for reasons mentioned they couldn't contribute much compared to the US and UK much less the USSR and so the invasion of Germany didn't really involve France in the same way the resistance and liberation of France did.

I think the funniest part of "French Cowards  " is how they lionize Martel at the Battle of Tours and the Christians defeating the  Moslem Hordes!!!.Disingenuous fuckers.

What a self-important turd. Also I unironically got a rush of pure distilled schadenfreude reading that first post from demshateGod. My favorite Freeper posts are the ones where they openly declare that they're giving up. The tears haven't been this pure and delicious since the marriage equality ruling.

Perhaps they are relying on an argument that centers on the point that without their land there would not have been the threat of an invasion from the west, allowing Germany to focus their full resources on the east and driving the USSR into surrender. Or they're just England, which is the more likely reason.

Opinions on Russia and the USSR are so low I'd imagine a huge number of Poles would want to give credit to anyone but Russia. The USSR vote would probably still be larger than in the other nations, but still probably not the winner.

It would've been much more difficult but something like this might have been possible: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Dragoon We're getting into gay black hitler territory of course but I just wanted to give a shout out to operation dragoon. Poor invasion is completely overshadowed by overlord.

Not to mention the resources allocated to the expected western front and the effort to counter trans-atlantic shipping by the Germans. Hell, the US would likely have focused on Japan over Germany had England not been in the war, leaving Russia doomed.

I personally find the entire argument silly because I don't think Germany had the resources to overcome any of the Big 3 allies. The USSR and US both definitely had the population, resources, and will to pound Germany into dust, even if it would have taken much longer individually. The UK would have been a closer match, but I feel as if it would have drawn to a stalemate with both unable to cross the channel. Germany could have won that war if they were willing to get into some kind of long term forever war with the UK with some magical lack of intervention, but that would have taken however long it would take for France to accept being part of the new German Reich.(Assuming they didn't revolt at some point.)

Hell, the US would likely have focused on Japan over Germany had England not been in the war, leaving Russia doomed. The USSR, post-1941, was in no sense doomed, and knowing what I do about Barbarossa, I'd say that even with the assets otherwise allocated to defending the channel and elsewhere, it's unlikely the Soviets would have gone under absent continuing British resistance prior to that. Not that we're not well into counterfactual-as-balls territory.
