Comments by "Quizmaster China" (@QuizmasterLaw) on "Why Franco & Spain stayed out of WW2?" video.
@hermitoldguy6312 No, but I doubt you will be forming reforming or removing governments from whole countries or even able to succesfully impose your wrong idea on those who might so enjoy being wrong figure out why at your own pace.

this is true but is also an open secret. it might even have aged out of being covered under the official secrets act. 75 years ran out already though we're still under good god what does the queen think so important that no one alive NO ONE shall know for certain? Even the murricans don't have 100 year state secrets!

I think Spain gave up Canaris to appease Hitler, while simultaenously giving the allies similar accurate counter-espionage intel. If Spain entered in 1940 Gibralter certainly would have fallen, Malta likely too, possibly even Egypt. It would have been a hard blow but probably would not have led to Britain's conquest: Spain's navy though existent was not much more sealift some of their better ships were lost in the civil war. At best Spanish entry would only have extended the war another year. That would not have meant many more Me-262s or Type XXI u-boats because the allied air campaign would still have crushed them. Even with one more year Germany likely would not have gotten an A-Bomb EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD PLENTY OF ENRICHED URANIUM AND A WORKING TRIGGER ok so i lied. But even if Germany had the bomb and traded its non use for a very favorable post-war arrangement DID I SAY THAT OUT LOUD whoops I mean even if the war went on for another year Germany would never have gotten an atom bomb let alone used it on the eastern front. WAIT WHAT Spain contributed much to the Nazi war effort notably banking services. No Spanish neutrality means no IVth Reich in South America God I blab too much. So yeah, Peron, Pinochet, Galtieri Bolivia and Brazil too. there were plenty of post-war fascists and they continued the anti communist fight even after losing the world war. Sleep well!

@BigDCera You are probably right, because Portugal is one of Britain's oldest and closest allies.

Spain attacks Churchill. Coolio! Armada do-over! So yeah, overt Spain ally changes nothing. Except maybe forces Britain to move its fleet to Halifax and then come back 2 years later with a bunch of very angry Indians from Boston...

@billhouston1431 that's funny but while it's entirely possible to see veiled espionage references in fiction i seriously doubt eeyore is one, at least not that one.

Franco's politics were fascist not national socialist. It's the same as Italy but even poorer.

@dmart29 You seem to equate national socialism with fascism. Stormfront is heartbroken at you.

@hermitoldguy6312 Monarchies are hereditary, fascist dictatorships are not. Monarchies may be constitutional as in Britain or absolute as in Saudi Arabia. Even absolute monarchies do not claim total authority in ALL aspects of life, the complete erasure of the public and private, unlike fascist dictatorships. Fascist dictatorships tend to genocide, and to target their genocides against Jews, Communists, and slavs, unlike monarchies, especially constitutional monarchies. If you are a hermit i am unsurprised because no one must like someone so stupid as to say something like "apples are oranges because they are fruits". Now go masturbate furiously knowing no girl wants you.
