Rhetoric. 
Too much free time on your hands, Kaptain? :hmm: |
Yes, the Allies gained the right to participate in a protrated Cold War, costing hundreds of trillions of dollars, the lives of countless men, women and children, and resulting in the near destruction of the entire world. True, as the defeated, Germany became the battleground, so in that regard the Allies, as mere participants, 'won'. However, that seems a shallow victory in the course of mankind. History shows us that one never truly wins.
Kaptain is infering that in war are always losers, who will ultimately seek to regain what was lost in the previous war. This, of course, leads to new wars and wars of greater frequency, resulting in what can be seen as one continuous state of war with relatively brief periods of peace. Thus, war fuels itself.
