Somebody’s never heard of lend-lease, the only reason the allies had the industrial capacity to hold Germany back.
until we were randomly attacked and dragged into the war.
They were attacked in retaliation for an oil embargo against Japan that would have brought japans campaign in China/the Pacific screeching to a halt
The US is far from perfect and was far from perfect in the 30s and 40s. There’s plenty to criticize without spreading misinformation. I’m not sure if you’re ignorant of history or just plain lying, but I am sure you’re not helping anyone.

90% of my downvotes are unintentional. The other 10% are for people who use alternating case. I have half a mind to go downvote everything in this boring company community though, just for laughs.

The Babylonian number system was base 12, that’s why there are 24 hours in a day and 60 minutes in an hour. Afaik they had the normal number of fingers, they were just smarter about making their numbering system divisible.

They’re right. Altitude sickness is absolutely real. I live in CT pretty close to sea level. I hiked the flatirons in Boulder and puked my guts out when I came back down.
- Comment on breakfast 1 month ago:
when I was growing up, it was almost the complete opposite. Raw milk was a “hippy” thing for fringe, counter-culture liberals.
Same with anti vax. Before COVID fear of vaccines was crunchy as fuck.

- Comment on Root cause for why Windows 11 is breaking or corrupting SSDs may have been found 1 month ago:
I agree. But it compicates the situation to the point that “durr just use Linux” is kind of a silly solution in this particular case.
- Comment on Root cause for why Windows 11 is breaking or corrupting SSDs may have been found 1 month ago:
Yeah, this wouldn’t happen on Linux because it’s impossible to install most firmware updates!

I don’t use the app much, but I think it defaults to v5 for the first 5-10 reaponses. I asked how to harvest a castor sack. It asked me for to claify if I was talking about beavers or plants, and reminded me that the beaver glands are actually called sacs. I was like yes, beaver. Maybe that little bit of back and forth was enough to confuse it?

You post made me curious so I asked chatgpt and it actually gave me pretty thorough instructions.

The Japanese were trying to wipe the entire Pacific fleet out with one punch, making it too costly for the Americans to enter the war.
…so they could capture the Philippines unimpeded. That is not “hoping for peace”. That is hoping for an easier war.
Fascism may have some overlaps with the Baathis party
You could say that. It would be more accurate to say the venn diagram of the overlap is a circle. It’s weird that you oppose fighting one and not the other. What is the difference you’re concerned with? Do you just not like the word “fascism”, and are ok with governments that are fascist in all but name?
But it’s pretty distinct from it considering Baathism revolves around pan Arabic unity
More like pan Sunni supremacy. Are you forgetting he gassed an entire region trying to genocide an ethnic minority in his own country? Fascist ideologies all revolve around pan (insert race/nationality here) unity. So, again, what’s the difference?
and socialism
Hussein was about as socialist as the National Socialists I guess.
and you sound like Neville Chamberlain circa 1930’s.
Chamberlain gave the UK time to arm so they didn’t get blitzkrieged into extinction.

They were not legally required to follow Britain, but they absolutely followed Britain anyway
Both King and Opposition Leader Robert James Manion stated their opposition to conscripting troops for overseas service in March 1939. Nonetheless, King had not changed his view of 1923 that Canada would participate in a war by the Empire whether or not the United States did.
It had been clear that Canada would elect to participate in the war before the invasion of Poland on 1 September 1939. Four days after the United Kingdom had declared war on 3 September 1939, Parliament was called in special session and both King and Manion stated their support for Canada following Britain, but did not declare war immediately, partly to show that Canada was joining out of her own initiative and was not obligated to go to war.[
