well yeah usa does make a song and dance about how 'they won ww2' when for frances side..they lost more people in war than usa did in its whole history.....and hell alot of the time russia lost more soldiers in a single campaign of the war, than usa has lost in its whole history

usa's part is WW2 was pretty much just distract the germans while the soviets mauled the **** out of germany...then pose as a roadblock to warn soviets to stop

You're a ******* idiot, they drove the germans out of italy, invaded normandy, pushed throughout france and belgium, and would have taken berlin if patton were unleashed with all his fury
The russians lost more men because their generals were extremely incompetent and their army was huge, but undersupplied
Go **** yourself, you twat

Anything after WWII is not even officially a war. For the United States of America to go to war officially, Congress and the President must sign a deceleration of war. All those other "wars" are either America sending troops to help out allies, try and stop the spread of communism, to stop civil wars, or to support their own interests. Fromm all these other comments you've posted it appears that you are more on the uneducated side of this matter. I would suggest reading a history book and learning how the American government really works.

No, sorry but at least half of those were OTHER people's wars and US just joined in. So they're not really America's wars.
Plus your pic states both operations and wars. Not every operation was a separate war. By using that logic, Operation Restore Hope and Operation Silver Wake were also wars. And OIF was only from 2003-2010, Operation New Dawn took its place.
Oh man, when I see pics like that, it makes me wonder how many people accepted it without questioning it.

How are people more reasonable when they accept the belief that the US has a endless history of aggression? It's just moving from one extreme to another. And the internet has proven that people that believe that the US or any Western nation is warmongering/ corruption race are more stuck-in-the-mud, angry, intolerable, childish, closed minded, obnoxious, and many times the bigoted kind of people that helping nothing but the spread of prejudice and ignorance.

well thats only if a person looks just for the dark sides and nothing else....but thats not as bad as people who just look for the good things

to do it properly includes looking at both good and bad and weighing things up...the problem being is that more people prefer to just focus on the good

hell ive even talked to about a dozen people on here who admit they refuse to consider the bad sides because they dont want anything to make them feel bad about life

Strange because I get screamed at on a daily basis from Americans and non-Americans about how much we suck, we're the worst country in the world, and we should all die.
The most critical people of a nation, are the people in that nation.
Where is the evidence that people who look for good things, are worse than people who only look for the bad? How is it such a problem? That doesn't make any sense.
I think that type of thinking is more dangerous than love for a nation. Because people that look for good things tend to be more peaceful rather than to focus on bad things to justify future violence.

well not really,....there are plenty of people who look just for good things and ignore the bad just so they can wrap themselves in happy and avoid the cold hard reality

for many people, national pride has kinda become a religion for them to use and an emotional crutch to protect themselves from having to deal with negative issues

yes there are some people who look for the good and a number of them strive to share that good, just they are less numerous than the zealots

If they wrap themselves in a happy place, are they hurting anyone? Isn't that their choice? Someone who looks only at the bad and labels it as a reality is more likely to get up and do something, normally violence against others.
Hate is a disease. Some cannot see it that way.

Like most people online, we don't have much patience with opinions we don't agree with or we know to be incorrect. It's even more aggravating when the facts are accepted when they're inaccurate.

there werent that many germans in italy to begin with, only a few divisions to support the italians / keep an eye on them.....usa pushed through france and belgium, thats nice....developed countries....and not that far a distance to cover...while the russians advanced through hills, mud, snow and other **** , over a much greater distance

the allies on the western front were less of a worry and more troops were sent east to hold back the russians,,,,which eventually turned into german troops deserting thr east and going west because they knew the allies were less of a threat and more a salvation....

hell there was even a case of a couple american officers going towards hitlers eagles nest for the first time....they came across an entire division of german elite troops guarding it....at first the american officers thought they were screwed but then one decided to lie and say the russians were a couple miles away....the german division surrendered and went with the americans rather than find out if there were actually russians nearby

They ran west not because the allies were weaker, but because they knew that the allies would be sympathetic and not revenge kill them. Look up the Battle of the Bulge. It was the last major battle of the war in which Hitler used every troop he could to try to stop the US forces on the Western Front. They lost, opening the way for Russia to get to Germany. My god for are ignorant and uniformed.

your comment may have had merit if you hadnt decided to be a cock about it in the end

there were plenty of times americans revenge killed the germans, just not in the epic scales the russians were known for
there was no 'opening the way' for russia, they were coming in one way or another, battle of the bulge just depleted troops and made russias job easier

I'm sorry but I like to lower myself to my opponents level. The US did not hate Germany the way the Soviets did, in fact after the war, we tried to get you up and running again, they US allowed soldiers to surrender and walk free if they gave up their weapons as we marched through Western Germany.

yes, the allies were nicer (except canada, they were brutal ******* to prisoners)

on the walking free part, yeah usa allowed most of the wehrmacht to go home, and in several cases allowed german officers to keep their pistols, while yeah over on the russian side, the soldiers were imprisoned for a time

doesnt change the fact the allies were pretty halfassed about the war and were ready to do anything to pck it up and go home while the russians screamed for blood

(sad how the tides have turned today where its the russians not wanting wars and usa is screaming for blood)

Ha, that's just a convenience of power. Russia is not powerful enough anymore to invade some place. The US invades places only when there is international support. Let's not forget that Germany supported US in the Iraq war. The US does not keep land as spoils of war. If you can name a more peaceful superpower in the history of the world, I will take it all back. Germany was a superpower for like 2 years and they tried to take over the world twice.

For the Western front you're right, but US also went up against Japan alone. If I'm not mistaken I believe the majority of the US's resources and manpower were on the Eastern front, so it is natural that it wasn't as much of a game changer on the Western front.

the americans had pretty bad moral, were not so prepared for european winters, soldiers more likely to disobey or question orders, plenty surrendered and got captured by the axis, and also on a sadernote, sometimes us command sent troops into situations that turned out to be meatgrinders due to poor intelligence and execution

The Krauts were within 18 miles of Moscow, it could've gone very bad very fast. We had already invaded North Africa, distracting Rommel, invaded Italy with the Brit/Canadians and took them out of the war, then dropped into France. We saw what the wounded beast could do with the battle of the bulge, imagine if those units (And those lost in Italy/Africa) went against the bear. Game over the glorious red empire. My point is you do nothing but bitch and moan on your soapbox when you really have no right to. I don't go on posts about Russian and say **** like: "GUIS RUSSIA DID NOTHING IN THE PACIFIC! THEIR INVASION OF MANCHURIA AND KOREA WAS A DISTRACTION!"

You're the one who feels the need to get offended on other people's behalf and then declare anyone who doesn't share your views as "mad". I gave a counter argument and even an example of the Ruskies' actions in the Pacific theater. If you're going to judge my countrymen based off a few jackasses I am going to return the favor. When it boils down to it, if the Brits never held the line, if America never got stirred, if the Russians never decided they want to survive as a people against the relentless genocide of the Nazi's, we as the Allied Forces would have lost.

this is how smart you look little kid
"yoor a kunt, yoor a kunt, hurr hurr"

learn to handle that usa is not the greatest country in the world anymore...
so stop waving your little plastic american flag and screaming 'MURICA' as if your blind patriotism can help

yes because of usa helping alot of countries in WW2 and helping rebuild many it rose to power simply because everyone else was **** broke, usa held #1 spot for a while and then began coming back down....and the way things look its gonna be either your friend china or your friend india thats gonna take #1 spot

Russia was only fighting on western front with Germany really, U.S. had to contend with both The Pacific and The European fronts.
You are so happy to wave you anti-Murica boner around but blow a gasket if somebody else supports their country.
Besides, you want to talk about blind patriotism? From what i saw in comment 47 it bothers you Germany lost the war. you seem to be throwing butthurt around pretty casually as well but looks to me youre the one thats butthurt.

i dont butthurt germany lost the war....im sad they picked a fight with russians, thyre good people...the part i hate is that usa didnt do as much as it claims yet history books are pretty much 'america **** yeah' with little emphasis on how much russia did

they're not saying they won ww2 they're saying without the U.S. the allies would've lost. The U.S. did do far much more than i believe youre appreciating though. they helped keep japan from focusing on Russia's eastern side even though the Russians did a fantastic job dissuading them on their own. they fought in Asia, Europe, Africa, literally every ocean against Germany and Japan. Had japan been able to focus on Russia like they had probably intended things would've been much more grave. like i said before US wasnt the only victor its just with their addition the allies turned the tides

If Britain hadn't defended the channel, the US would not have went to war with Germany, we just would have stayed out of it. So we would be fine. If Britain did not defend the channel, no two front war, and Russia would have been destroyed. Don't use what ifs. D-Day would not have been successful without the US. Not to mention the US was the main force that took Southern Italy from the Nazis.

At the time we entered their victory against the reds was almost assured. The French as a nation basically rolled over and let Germany **** them. They Romanticized the French resistance but in truth the Krauts could walk about without weapons and be fine. It only kicked up in 1942 when the Brits/Americans/Canadians started dropping in to raise hell.

You want resistance fighters? Look at the ******* Polacks. Jews had equal standing as citizens since the time of Casimir. When the Nazis came the Poles destroyed a quarter of the invasion force. After they lost their military went underground, to save their culture, to prevent Nazi looting, smuggle out Jews, bomb **** , instigate rebellions, not bend the **** over and take it like the Frenchies. Their air force fled to Britain, fought along side the RAF, their squadrons had the highest kill counts of any in the entire war on both fronts. They never gave up only to be left to their hated enemies: The Reds after it was all over. That was where my family was from. The last of them came to the USA as a result of the second world war.

It's clear to me you get your history from Hollywood, and let your own prejudices cloud your judgement. Not once did I say 'MUERICA **** YEAH WE SAVED THE WORLD, you did. AKA: You're acting like a child and being a cunt.

I was speaking exclusively of the pacific campaign. How about you not act like the Neo-Nazi jackass above? As for the surrender, history decided. It is almost universally stated the British forces in Singapore could've broken the Japanese assault. There we better armed, better trained, and dug in. It's one of the most glorious failures in the long history of the empire, which was known to do the impossible. So yes: Britfags gave up without a fight. They should be looked down upon for this act. Why do you think the Aussies were so pissed at them during the war? The Japs eyed them up right after the Philippians and the empire abandoned them.

Youre overshadowing the great acts of which the british showed in the war to try and sum up how 'america is best' or whatever it is you believe, one fault to many triumphs and youre 'looking down upon us'.

Kinda sorta. We fought hard for the Western Front, we being the Allied Forces, and our continuous pressure on their industrial infrastructure helped Nazi Germany crumble on all sides. Russia did however whoop their ass on the Eastern Front (not without taking severe losses, but that was the Russian way), so it'd be more correct to say that we did free France from Nazi control, but we didn't "save them" from the Nazis, since the Nazis were destroyed in a group effort.

They own casino's, get into the best college because of diversity, and are allowed to continue their way of life on reservations. The only natives we killed were the ones that fought us. Most Natives either assimilated into our culture, or were killed by diseases. Germans always think there were millions of Natives in the US, yet where less than 1 million total. My German teacher (from Germany), explained if you ever bring up the Holocaust to a German, they say "well you guys killed the Native Americans." She claimed that is because Germans get all their info from American Western movies. Once again your full on ignorance is showing.

I`m leaving this article here whether you choose to read it is up to you.
``On 6 June 1944, the 3rd Canadian Division landed on Juno Beach in the Battle of Normandy and sustained heavy casualties in their first hour of attack. By the end of D-Day, the Canadians had penetrated deeper into France than either the British or the American troops at their landing sites, overcoming stronger resistance than any of the other beachheads except Omaha Beach. In the first month of the Normandy campaign, Canadian, British and Polish troops were opposed by some of the strongest and best trained German troops in the theatre, including the 1st SS Division, the 12th SS Division and the Panzer-Lehr-Division.``

The Canadians did alot during the war with there limited numbers and limited money.

That's well and good, but as we know US and british forces still penetrated Normandy, getting through first doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things.

And again, i'm not saying Canada did nothing, but in comparison of the whole of the war the UK, US, and Russia did more. There wouldn't have been a Normandy invasion without US and UK planning, ever hear the phrase "Won the battle but lost the war?" The UK, US and Russia planned the war, Canadians helped, i'm not denying that, but it's not a matter of opinion that the UK, US, and Russia did more, it's fact.

Canada provided both an Airfield and pilot training for Britain, Britain was overwhelmed an would have lost the war without Canada the US did not enter the war until 1942 and the Soviets until 1941 if Canada had not been there the war would have been over before both joined, it`s fact.

I disagree, Britain could've easily found another airfield to train on, the US was already supporting the UK to a great degree, an airfield could've easily been designated to the british. And without Canadian support to the UK the US more likely than not would've joined the war much sooner. And a hypothetical situation isn't fact, we don't know what would've happened. My hypothetical situation is as valid as yours, which is why hypothetical arguments are silly, they can go either way.

AGAIN, AND PLEASE READ THIS SLOWLY, I'M NOT SAYING CANADA DID NOTHING. They had a support role, whilst the UK, US, and russia had more direct roles in the winning of the war.

There's a lot Britain would have lost the war without. They also barely managed to salvage the Norwegian merchant fleet containing 50% of the worlds oil tankers at the time - without it, they wouldn't have been able to transport enough food and fuel to the UK to hold off the Luftwaffe.

ahh, of course - you're Canadian. You go without saying. Having the third largest navy in the world, and the fourth largest air force in WW2, and landing at Normandy it's pretty obvious that you participated greatly, like the other dominions of the British Empire.

Well galipolle a major battle to bring supplies to russia through Turkey was led by the ANZAC's and in the Second World war Australia was pushed aside by a glory mongering US general (Mc Arthur) who caused the deaths of thousands of Australians.

I didn't say Australia didn't play a part, or participated in the war. They had no saying in strategy etc. and functioned mainly as a dominion of the UK. Gallipolli was the brainchild of Churchill, and it went to ***** .

Australians and New Zealanders were some of the bravest soldiers in the war, and fought like hell - they participated in some of the fiercest battles - but they had little to say on a strategic level.

The most decisive battles in the Pacific theater was fought by the Americans nevertheless. Not necessarily by MacArthur, who had a big personality. The battle of Midway was probably the single most important battle of the war.

In the Battle of Kokoda Trail Mc Arthur ordered the Australian troops to hold indefensible positions and replaced any officer who criticized him then after the Japanese retreat at port moresby he ordered the Australians to chase the Japanese through the Jungle where Japan started using a tactic known as the fighting retreat this caused hundreds of Australian Casualties and when Australian troops caught up they found them starving and on the verge of death even then they fought to the death. Mc Arthur simply could have ordered them Stay in Morsebey and the Japanese would have starved.

After this Mc Arthur and His US troops started Island Hopping only taking Islands with Airstrips or Large ports. he then ordered Australian troops to take the small Islands where even more died.

Well, I haven't criticized the Australian war effort or anything. I'm not really interested in talking about Australian war history at this moment either. I just pointed out that, even though the war effort by Australia was impressive, they still fought as a dominion of the British Empire.

I was simply stating my distaste for Mc Arthur and what he forced Australian troops to do. Also I respect American Soldiers they were brave and fought well but most of their officers treated them as if they were disposable.

Well, it's war. Officers need to think of soldiers as expendable, if not they would have been too afraid to make decisions. Some decisions, that initially cost a lot of lives, might have been a smart thing to do in the long run also - if it helped push forward the end of the war.

All I ever hear is how we didn't do jack **** in WWII. Seriously does no one realize we single handedly stopped the ******* Japanese empire? We fought across the entire pacific clearing out jungles of crazy dug in soldiers who didn't give two ***** if they lived or died, and eliminated Germany's greatest ally in the war, AND still sent ********* of support to the European war effort. Even before we joined the war effort we sent tons of weapons and vehicles to the British so they weren't overrun in a few months.

Relate the victory over Japan to the fact that we sent only one fifth of our ENTIRE FIGHTING FORCE to do so, and then it sounds even better.

Let's not belittle how much help every country gave to fight the Axis Powers. The fact that those countries sent help - however minimal - was critical.

yeah America put a lot of effort into the Pacific campaign but the European front was hardly a case of the U.S. beating the Nazis as a lot of Americans seem to think. If any single country was responsible for beating Nazi Germany it was Russia. Then England/commonwealth. The U.S. assisted the commonwealth but didn't join the war until halfway through. Until then the U.S. industrialists made ********* of money supplying arms etc for the war effort and the way it all played out the U.S. replaced the British as the top dog on the planet, whether intentional or not.

Oh, that **** was intentional.

My theory, anyway, is that Roosevelt took his marry time with the war effort because the public originally did not want it. about 60% said no outright while the other 40% argued about what side to enter on. [There were plenty of supporters of Hitler because, back then, there was still the perspective that Germany had legitimate reasoning for its belligerence. It was treated like **** .] The government saw the golden opportunity when we started selling guns. We made butt loads of cash through this way, but also unofficially declared our allegiance which prompted Japanese assault. Pearl Harbor was expected in some way or another because on that morning, many of our aircraft carriers and warships were removed from port, but not personnel. [They had to make it look like a tragedy, which, of course, it was. otherwise, we'd have no absolute need to fight.] With so many Americans now dead, we were "given no choice" but to fight against the axis. This gave us almost imperial reign over territories we crossed in battle in the pacific, securing resources we still use today. And, of course, coming out the victors of a war that had beaten the living snot out of everyone else, we were sitting comfortably.

England was on its heels before the US joined in on the eastern front, in my opinion it goes Russia>US>UK when it comes to defeating germany.

If the UK had been captured we merely would've focused on Japan initially then joined Russia on the western front, while attacking from Africa as well. The UK played its part well in the war as a stronghold, but comparatively didn't do as much as the US and russia in regards to the actual German defeat.

But if Britain fell during the battle of Britain, at the time, US wouldn't have any quarrel with Japan yet and Russia might have fallen too This is just speculation don't judge me for this '-'

Well it really wouldn't have been the same war we see today on those terms, so I can't really say what would've happened if the US hadn't got involved in any way at all. I'm not saying the UK did nothing, just to directly effect the end of the war the US did more.

Had the US not gotten involved the war would most likely have been prolonged as the Russians and British etc took longer rounding up the Germans in Western Europe & perhaps Africa/Italy. The U.S. could hardly stand by while there was glory and power to be had. The U.S. power brokers wouldn't allow it.

**sequel rolled a random image posted in comment #6354689 at Safe For Work Random Board ** I'd rather not, that separates Poland from any other comic and separates new comics in the new channel from the old ones posted here.

Polandball just came first with Poland as the main character, but more countries were added and it was called Countryball, but people still post those comics in the Polandball section because it is more popular and related. Like in FJ, reddit, or any other site that is familiar with these comics, the Polandball section absorbed the Countryball comics simply because more people visit Polandball.

France was actually in stalemate with Germany in WWI

Actually, they had less casualties at Verdun. Slightly though, WWI was terrible on both sides.
