  1. Show a little more respect for the masterpiece created by James Cameron and scored by James Horner.

  3. It too late. The Japanese soldiers, and their Chinese collaborators, who were responsible for this are already dead, including Emperor Hirohito. You don't need revenge. You just need to make sure China doesn't have another Century of Humiliation, and ensure China doesn't become the modern-day German Reich or Imperial Japan.

  4.  @user-td2jw9ze2c  We gave him a blank check to destabilize the Middle East and arm terrorist. If you attack any country with nukes, they're going to retaliate how ever they want. I'm more forgiving and sympathetic to victims of US and British imperialism that fight back immediately and use the American political system to force a withdrawal: North Vietnam is a great example. Laos and Cambodia are more countries never posed a threat to the US but were bombed. When Bush and Blair were randomly blowing up countries that didn't go along with the Bush Doctrine, the entire world should have tried to stop him then. That happened over two-decades ago. Russia has nukes and we don't like what they're doing in Ukraine. We're not just talking about it; we sanctioned Russia and are still arming Ukraine. Someone should have done that with Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan, and in Northern Pakistan when it mattered.

  6. He's normal politician and will have an uneventful presidency. That won't involve impeachments, special counsels, or questions of whether the cabinet should remove him after staging a coup to hang his own vice-president, and stay in power after losing an election.

  7. They're only discussing historical fact. Hawaii is officially a US state and couldn't leave the union even if 100% of the population demanded it. Everyone there was born America, and that won't change just by accurately telling the history of Hawaii.

  12.  @ojile13  So he's going to use nukes despite the fact that the US have ones that actually work? There's also condemnation from China and India, and heavy opposition from the Russian people who will actually launch them. The Russians aren't heartless monsters, and have historically suffered battlefield defeats in Afghanistan and Chechnya without using WMDs. I don't think he'll use them because that would bring the US and NATO into the Ukraine conflict, and result in a quick and decisive military defeat using conventional military forces. Not using Russia's most powerful weapons allows an off-ramp and semi-dignified exit from the Ukrainian war.

  13. The Soviet Union got revenge when it defeated and occupied Fascist Germany for decades. China was instrumental in defeating Japan, but it took the military and industrial strength of the US and Soviet Union to force Japan to surrender. When the CCP took over China, it was viewed as a hostile act against the US, Britain, and post-war Japan.

  14. ​ @Crashed131963  Japan was already defeated in 1945 and Tokyo had firebombed by to the stone age. The Japanese military were working with the Soviets for a conditional surrender to keep Hirohito. The Potsdam Agreement required the Soviet Union to declare war on Japan and open a Manchurian front. During this time, the new biggest threat to world peace was by far communism. After the atomic bombs were tested, and rather than showing the Japanese a demonstration bomb, which would have been opposed by most Americans and Brits, they used them in war. The Japanese violations of international norms, war crimes, and crimes against humanity made it difficult to show them mercy, but the US used the attacks on the cities to show the Soviets that the US was willing to use them in the new confrontation against the Soviet Union and later the CCP.

  15. ​ @matthewhumphreys6100  China isn't imperialists and doesn't have a global projection of strength or hegemony like the US or the British Empire. They are more of an economic superpower, but you should wait for them to reach the status before declaring them a superpower. The Soviet Union, European Union, and Japan were all supposed to have economies with growth targets that would have made them larger than the US.

  16.  @slartybarfastb3648  You do know George III wasn't the tyrant he has been made out to be in American media? They've had constitutional monarchies since the English Bill of Rights. The rights that inspired the US Bill of Rights.

  17.  @matthewhumphreys6100  That's not imperialism. That's China being a regional power with illegitimate claims that no one recognizes. If China wanted to start its first war of conquest, it would start with a smaller competitor and not the US.

  18.  @matthewhumphreys6100  You've changed from a neutral topic of geopolitics and history to a politically charged debate about how well you know China's foreign-policy objectives, and how anyone who doesn't see a direct war between the US and China are in denial or uninformed.

  19.  @slartybarfastb3648  There was more of an economic motive to declare independence from Britain and continue trading with all the European powers than being motivated by a tyrannical government refusing to honor constitutional rights, liberties, and the Rule of Law.

  20. Immediately following the war, China and the Soviet Union's relations with the West (US + Britain) deteriorated to an all-time low. Many of the WWII documentaries were produced as pro-American propaganda.

  21. Why are you lying? The only reason they wouldn't be invited is if they're living in the same fictional, fake news, and fascism-adjacent reality as you. It's better to have no remembrance than give a platform for an anti-West far-Reich garbage.

  24.  @lewidharvey8430  Who stole the atomic weapons designed when they were supposed to have been allies? Fascist Germany did much less to the US, and got a war declaration. The fact that both powers had nukes prevented a direct confrontation. The difference between the two is that the US is imperialist like Britain, and wanted to do business around the world. The communist (not all) were too focused on spreading socialist revolutions around the world.

  26. You can't leave the US without defeating the Pentagon and federal troops. The Confederates tried that and lost miserably.

  27. I agree, but the US was even more secure. They stored Magna Carte and other valuables in Fort Knox, Ky during WW2.

  29. It might surprise you, but France has a history other than 1940. The WWII problem was the leadership, military strategy, and its close proximity to the country it recently invaded and defeated.

  31. Churchill cried tears of joy because he knew the British Empire was saved at that point. Both men knew the outcome of the war when the US and Soviet Union entered on the side of the allies.

  32. So it was mostly a prop like the ones they built for the Titanic filmset? That could have been more storage space for lifeboats.

  33. The main difference is competence. Nixon was a skilled politician effective at domestic and international politics. The GOP leaders from his day were from the Greatest Generation, and wouldn't have tolerated a crook in the White House who abused the office and the Central Intelligence Agency.

  34. First, cut the BS politics. Second, this is about history, and that's not how government works. You don't need Congress for executives action that Congress have already delegates to the President. FYI: Roosevelt signed more consequential executives orders than any other president since Lincoln. When Biden signs an order putting millions of citizens into internment camps without due process and writ of habeas corpus is suspended, then you'll have a point.

  37. The outcome was certain when a) Germany invaded the Soviet Union; and b) Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and Germany unilaterally declared war on the US. That's the Churchill cried tears of joy after Pearl Harbor; he knew their empire was safe at that point.

  39.  @jacobcastro1885  What topic are you referencing?

  40.  @jacobcastro1885  Find encroachment in any international law or the UN Charter; nothing changed in the NATO-Ukraine status quo, and the Kremlin didn't reference NATO as the cause of the invasion. What you're trying to claim is the hypocrisy of the Monroe Doctrine, but it sounds like you're repeating Kremlin talking points without fact checking the claims.
    1
  41.  @jacobcastro1885  I'm not trying to attack you, but doesn't sound like you're familiar with the background and why the US and UK are involved with Ukraine. US-Russia relations and geopolitics are very complex and it requires enough knowledge to know when Putin is lying versus stating a historical fact. I've listened to Putin for over two decades, and I've watched him change positions and openly lie with impunity. He went on live TV and gave a pretext for invading. It's fine that you are considering the position of the Kremlin, but you're not able to completely and coherently explain the position of the US and Ukraine. I'm not saying that it's all Putin's fault, but in February 2022, Ukraine was no closer to being in NATO; yet it was still invaded. NATO was used as a scapegoat. The Kremlin has historically taken advantage of people because on the surface, it does sound as if the aggression was from the US. Not this time. The sole aggressor was Russia.

  42.  @jacobcastro1885  The US and UK are part of the Budapest Memorandum. Go find out what that means.

  43.  @jacobcastro1885  Budapest Memo is not obsolete. You should just say you don't understand rather than making a claim that's false. You're also using "we," without realizing you're not part of the decision-making process. That's US foreign policy, and Congress and the White House make the policy. That's not a decision for you or me. That's why we have a head of state. He seems to disagree with you.

  44.  @jacobcastro1885  Why would it need to be ratified by the Senate? You think you can ignore international agreements that you don't like? If you're not familiar with geopolitics, don't try and change history. It sounds like you're trying to reference a treaty. That would be the nuclear non-treaty. You asked why the US is involved. The US is a superpower and has interest around the globe. A president can unilaterally withdraw from the Budapest Memo. None has done that, and Congress has already committed US weapons and funding to Ukraine.

  45.  @jacobcastro1885  You've spent half a day figuring out why the US is involved. It's public information. You're asking me as if I made the decision. The US is involved because Putin f'd around and found out.

  46. ​ @GLOW_IN_THE_DARK_CIA_NIBBAS  Sure. You could prove that by getting off of America's internet, and go parrot Kremlin and CCP propaganda to people living in third-world countries that don't have a choice but to believe your lies.

  47. Are you from India? Some people also see the CCP as being expansionist and showing no regard for human rights.

  48.  @Justiceisforeveryone  This was an alternative timeline. The Cuban Missile Crisis was connected to the Cold War, US containment policy, and NATO nuclear warheads in Turkey and Italy pointing at the Soviet Union.

  49. The Queen Mother was still in relatively good health. This was around the time both she and her daughter died. Also, if anyone else made it to [ @ 2:00 ] and said, "Oh wow! There goes a 'Real Queen,'" then we both would probably get kicked out of the royal party.
