Comment on Also the day that the world found out that Hitler had a micropenis.
Dojan@pawb.social 1 day agothe United States as a country that won two World Wars
Contributed to winning two world wars.
The U.S. didn’t carry the allies. Soviet and Chinese casualties far outstripped any American ones, and the amount of Indians thrown into the meat grinder on behalf of England during both of the World Wars is barely even mentioned. Then there’s civilian casualties. Was the wartime rationing bad? Sure, but it’s a piss take compared to Churchill’s Famine.

Also I’d like to point out that currently what is considered perhaps the best countries in the world, at least for the average citizen, the Nordics, probably wouldn’t be here, especially not in this form, had the Soviets actually managed to come through Karelia.
Which my great-grandpa and uncle & other assorted family gave their lives to prevent. And we were technically fighting the Allies, mind you. (Finland wasn’t allied with Axis at any point though, officially. We “merely” cooperated a little, before having to fight the Nazis out of Lappland.)
