They offered to hand over bin laden if the US could produce criminal charges

in large part because the US had been eyeing up an invasion of Afghanistan since 1999 during Clinton's administration at least

lost the war but won the peace, just like the confederates

Yeah I'm way late on this but just because the Nazis were coddled after the war doesn't mean they didn't lose the war. It's weird and glib to say that

i seem to recall this being one of those internal slap fight kinda deals where nobody could agree whose problem it was, and they couldn't actually build a case for prosecuting bin laden because there was literally no mechanisms accommodating cooperation between the letter agencies

like, on one hand, it's so unbelievably incompetent it's hard to believe the explaination isn't genuine, on the other hand, this was literally part of the rationale that built the patriot act and the department of homeland security and so much other bullshit, so lol

I could see it easily as an american comedy, all the original movie was missing was LMFAO at the end. It's not exactly treading new territory, tonally or otherwise. Hollywood will gently caress it up regardless, but still.

i just think all the nuance and melancholy will get sucked out by the hollywood machine and they'll go dumb, broad comedy

After a show trial of executing grunts, wherein following orders was no excuse for carrying out atrocities (unless you're America), the architects and shot callers of the whole operation were integrated into the American military-industrial complex, post-war German legislature and governance, various Latin American nations in leadership, citizenry and industrial roles and God only knows where the gently caress else. You're late because you're slow.

heh, yep

the axis lost the war, the nazis mostly just retired to villas in south america and high-paid positions in the US and soviet union

it's super gross but it's true and by the time anybody cared about escaped nazis all the most terrible ones were long dead, from comfortable diseases of the wealthy, and their children hold more power and influence than they deserve


on second thought none of this poo poo is funny

Cool so the Sudetenland still belongs to Germany then? What about Poland? I mean I don't understand why you have to insist "the Nazis didn't lose WWII" when what you're describing is that the Nazi leadership was rewarded after they did lose

I just remembered "nasty woman." One of the best examples of liberals trying to satirize/reclaim their opponent's messaging with stupid results. Trump called Hillary a nasty woman in some debate for some reason, who cares, it's Trump. Then the liberal hivemind was like "oh, so any time a woman asserts herself she's 'nasty' is she? Well then call me nasty, sir." But it actually just made it sounds like she was horny and flatulent lol
