Russia/Ukraine Megathread V6

[SandisLL]

That is funny!
Ukrainians for sure would have defeated the Russians without American help. (?)
Are you a "flat earther?"
I mean, it is ok if you are.

U.K in 1940 th isn't Ukraine.
You are Trump supporter and hate Biden and dems..
That's all why you post here.

Without England fighting on "multiple fronts" ww2 would have been over before usa joined.

I'm not sure what you mean here. You believe Britain could have beaten the Germans without US help?

Huh did I say that? I said without Britain and the commonwealth fighting for numerous years throughout Europe. Africa and the Mediterranean the war would have been over.. for years before usa got involved.

They fought on numerous fronts all across the world. USA wasn't the only one to fight on 2 fronts... other countries did it for years with them prior to usas involvement.

 

[SandisLL]

Europeans can't do anything military without US help. They need adult supervision. Our money, our equipment, and our blood.
75% of NATO is the United States.
"Oh, those evil Americans!"
"What horrible things they did in Iraq and Afghanistan."
Right. I guess we are not so 'evil' now that Russians are breathing down their neck.

Blood? Did had US sent soldiers to fight in Ukraine?

About famous phrase " our money " I really advise you to start think, dear democrats hater......

You are protraying things like " US is only wasting money " because this is comfortable for your narrative.

Maybe if US didn't had earned anything in europe 1 month, some ppl had to get reality.

So, you are saying the British defeated the Germans before December 1941?
I don't think that is what happened according to the history books.

 

[Anewt]

You British love to quote that.
Montgomery was a failure during Operation Market Garden, launched in September 1944.
The Germans thought Patton was the best leader the Allies had.
Plenty of American brains and blood during WWII.
The British were fighting in 1 front, Americans were fighting in 2 fronts (Germany and Japan).

So, you are saying the British defeated the Germans before December 1941?
I don't think that is what happened according to the history books.

Dude... stop.. I never said england would win vs Germany.. nor that Britain defeated Germany without usa. Why do you respond with " what you're really saying is "

What I'm really saying is really simple to understand...

Read what I write.

England fought on multiple fronts... for years prior to usa's involvement in ww2.

It's not a outrageous statement. It's actual historic fact.

It's not that England won the war solo..... or that they would have won.. that's never what I said.

Ww2 would have been over by the time pearl harbour got bombed without the British.

[Supereem]

Again, at what percentage compared to Americans?

Is English your first language?

 

[KnightTemplar]

At what percentage compared to Americans?
Britain would not have survived WWII without American help.
A salute to the American boys who were killed flying B-17 missions over Germany. U.S. Army.
Dunkirk was a disaster for the British. A force of 330,000 mostly British soldiers retreating the German Army.
The only thing that saved that evacuation was the sudden halt by German forces. A big mistake by the Germans.
Germans to the front and water to their back! Not a good position to be in. Thankfully, the British Navy, fisherman, and regular citizens with boats were able to make a brave rescue of the troops. The Brits fared much better in the sky against the German Luftwaffe.

The US population in the early to mid 40's was around 135,000,000. Of which 16,000,000 served in WWII.

During the same time period, the UK population was roughly 45,000,000. Of which 3,500,000 served in WWII.

Do the Maths

Australia repped above our population. In ww2. Same as new Zealand

A total of 730,000 personnel enlisted in the Australian Army during the war, a figure which represented around 10 percent of the population. Nearly 400,000 men ultimately served overseas, with 40 percent of the total force serving in front line areas.

Ww2 took the lives of 50 million people, including one in every 150 New Zealanders, and shaped the world that we have lived in ever since.

New Zealand was involved for all but three of the 2179 days of the war — a commitment on a par only with Britain and Australia. It was a war in which New Zealanders gave their greatest national effort — on land, on the sea and in the air — and a war that New Zealanders fought globally, from Egypt, Italy and Greece to Japan and the Pacific.

• The population of New Zealand in 1940 was about 1,600,000.
• About 140,000 New Zealand men and women served, 104,000 in 2NZEF, the rest in the British or New Zealand naval or air forces.

Sorry bit off topic. But sheesh. USA fought on 2 fronts whoopee do. So did half the bloody world lol.

Once again. Respect to the US soldiers and their massive impact in the war. But wow ... smh

Not sleeping on the ANZACS, bro. Or the Canucks or the Indians and every other member of the Commonwealth Nations who contributed troops. Hell, I'm not denying America's absolutely vital contribution to winning the War. Neither we nor Russia could have done it without them. But the idea that America alone did most of the heavy lifting is insulting to every other nation who paid more than their fair share of blood and treasure.

Thank you.

Out of Likes at the moment, or I'd show my appreciation for your last few Posts

 

[SandisLL]

There also was....Canada.
They had provided a lot of commodities for US, British and yeah, also soviet war machines.
Also had very high role in supplies caravans programm: from providing stuff to send and ships till helping to guard Atlantic caravans....
They had also a bit undervalued role in Manhattan project and US nuclear research& energy programms after WW2....
U.K too had relatively high role in Manhattan project whle they usually didn't knew why they are delivering US stuff a or stuff b or production x or y.

Canada always was most trustable supplier and partner for US since WW1 era....

 

[San Marino]

England fought on multiple fronts... for years prior to usa's involvement in ww2.

Yes.

Ww2 would have been over by the time pearl harbour got bombed without the British.

What does this even mean?
What does British fighting on multiple fronts have to do with American involvement in and subsequent end to WWII?
You make no sense.

This was your statement... you're incorrect. Glad you can see that now.

@Supereem could not figure out this part.
@tibba, here is your answer. The shortest distance between 2 points is a straight line! I don't need a 10 line reply.
