Uhhh, ok. I hear making vague statements about my moral stance refutes my argument now? |
The Western allies did nothing when Hitler started to rise in power.
They did nothing when he annexed Austria and rolled in to Czechoslovakia.
and made deals with him.
They declared war only after he attacked Poland but didnt actually fight him, USA didnt even do this.
They didnt declare war on USSR when Stalin also attacked Poland.
They didnt declare war when Stalin occupied Baltic states and attacked Finland.
They allied themself with Stalin from -41, made deals and armed him, USA finally declared war to Germany after Hitler had done it first.
They let Germany and USSR beat each other to pulp in the East before joining the fight in Europe while millions of people died.
They liberated half of Europe from Nazi terror but left the other half under Bolsevik terror.
This all leads one to think that they didnt try to do what was morally right but what was in their nations interest at a given time.
From Central and Eastern European perspective too much moralisation from these countries that suffered considerably less from the war is annoying.
USA practically sit aside for almost three years, lended money, made tanks/planes, and dropped a nuke.
