  1. Some folk'll criticize because they've never done anything great themselves. It's easier for them to bring you down than raise themselves up.

  2. You just take the outcome - (say) US defeat of Japan - and assume that's what the Japanese Emperor/Govt. wanted. Then the evidence supports your "theory" and you get to feel superior to everyone else - which is the point of the exercise.

  3. What about Judea?

  4. Some folk are very fixated on the idea that "socialism" involves workers owning the means of production. How do workers do that? If they combine their wealth to build a factory, they are capitalists. If they take the factory, they are thieves.

  5. There have been huge increases in yield-per-acre since WWII.

  7. What i see is 187K subscribers, 1,860 views (1% of subs) and 188 likes (10% of views). That suggests either a) only 0.1% of subscribers like Tik's videos, or more like likely b) YT is stealing at least 400% of TIK's (**) income. ** and everyone one else's since this 10% likes happens to all videos (that I watch).

  8. @Patrik Kalus I think it was the same basic plan - murder the weak, enslave the strong, Germanize a few, and reward collaborators. What varied was the numbers.

  9. In the '30s a small one was fine, but in the '40s everyone wanted a big one. I read somewhere that the nmber of people in uniform was; Germany 19 million, British Empire 18.5 million and Soviet Union 55 million (USA unknown).

  10. IG Farben didn't sell the idea of the Holocaust. They produced what they were told to produce.

  11. Not quite. The British would have invaded Norway, but the Germans beat them to it (by one day). So when the British arrived they were not invaders, but foreign aid.

  12. It was a $5 job, just to read the question!

  14. There's also the problem of insurance: a cargo-laden ship is a ruinous thing to lose at the best of times.

  17. That's called "appeal to selected evidence."  That you single out 1933 suggests that your claim is not true for 1934, 1935, 1936, 1937, 1938 and 1939. That you point to "size" of the army, suggests your claim is not true for warships, war aircraft, tanks, etc, - the "strength" of Poland's military - for 1934, 1935, 1936, 1937, 1938, 1939, and even 1933.

  18. So you moved the goalposts from Baltic elections to Russian elections. There were US diplomats in Riga (Latvia) to 17 June 1940 and Tallinn (Estonia) to 4 Sept 1940, in Helsinki (Finland) to 17 December 1942. And so on.

  19. Socialism is theft. You cannot steal stuff you own. First you must sell it, only then can you steal it!

  20. "I am not in any way condoning german war crimes" Yes, you are.

  21. @The Nerevarine Spammers? They're working a) spreading propaganda - which is recruitment, and b) trying to get TIK banned.

  25. @Brandon_37 Jim Bo knows it's a lie. He's just trying to rationalize the fact of the German starvation of Britain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Yugoslavia, Greece, Albania, and so on, and so on. Germany, along with Japan and Italy, were responsible for food shortages around the world. When millions of men are having to fight, food production falls. Thus Germany, Japan and Italy caused the famine in Bengal.

  26. Why?

  27. My take on that was that Lewis was giving the official line, with his own opinion reserved and open to persuasion.

  28. Goering said (of the race registration law) "I will decide who is a Jew and who is not."

  31. @Stugbit Fz Yeah, but they were also developing the Elephant: there's a certain amount of "proof of the pudding" and a certain amount of "Madman Hitler".

  32. You can easily spot a Marxist- when they've got no argument, they claim your pov is "debunked", the claim the question is "settled".

  33. The Gulf War is a good example of that. One day they were blowing up bridges, the next, they were rebuilding them.

  34. Eurasia was starving.

  35. Life's too short to pick apart all the world's bogus claims - "falsus in uno falsus in omnibus" applies.

  36.  @Freedomfred939  A crime is the breaking of a law. Laws are founded on sovereignty (my house, my rules). Nations cannot bind each-other with laws because that goes beyond the limits of sovereignty. Rules for the conduct of war are made by treaty (I won't bomb cities if you wont.) If one side breaks the treaty, the other side ceases to be bound by it - or else the transgressor would have an advantage.When Germany bombed London, they gave Britain full licence to bomb German cities. That's all there is to it.

  37.  @benholroyd5221  And thus you clearly demonstrate why socialists are more likely to go to war! You know nothing of the costs of war - you don't even know why they should be a factor to consider.

  38. That's less than 250 Calories - and that's if the bread's made of wheat - no sawdust.

  39. Wow! That's a bit disorienting. Producers have been wrecking documentaries for the last 50 years, and this is the first time I was ever able to complain _and be heard_! Thank you.

  40. 1938 was 20 years after 1918. France lost a generation of young men in WWI meaning they had a shortage of young men for WWII.

  41. Anarchists are only opposed to government until the government collapses; then they're communists.

  45. You're aware of foreign embassies and diplomacy, right?

  46. Britain's had diplomats in Moscow continuously since 1922. The US had diplomats in Moscow continuously since 1933.

  47. The immensely expensive West Wall, shows Hitler had good reason to think he'd have conflict with France - one way or another.
