I like how after this segment he goes onto explain how Putin/ Russia didn't start the Ukraine war, as if Germany didn't have any "legitimate security concerns" in Czechia and Poland, the same way that he says Russia does in Ukraine.

@nazmul_khan_ "just lose the transportation and communication hub of your country, 70% of your population, 80% of your grain and 90% of your oil bro, its easy."

@henrikhilskov The transportation thing is the major point. The Red Army wasn't forced marched everywhere, they took the train. When the Germans struck south towards Stalingrad, the Soviets used the trains to get their armies to that sector. Without Moscow they cannot do this, there are no rail lines that simply go around Moscow, the Soviet frontline would be cut into two.

@oussamaelbaz5932 I did, its the most generic no detailed nonsense compared to his explanations of "NATO expansion led Putin to invade Ukraine". If John was a bit more knowledgeable he could say the exact same thing for Germany "Chamberlain's 'Peace Front' encirclement policy led to Germany invading Poland".

@Smiff1066 Yep. Here in the west some people would say "Versailles caused WW2" in various senses it did. However critically, Hitler actually offered to renounce German claims on Polish territory if Poland gave back Danzig. Very few people know of this fact. Very interesting to think what would have happened if it did.

This is the hilarious contradiction with his stance. Germany was merely invading Poland to prevent encirclement by the NATO-esque security framework Britain was trying to set up.

Well he wouldn't be wrong. Literally every scenario about a war with China involves America CHOOSING to attack China. Not the other way around.

@rainbowodysseybyjonlion Just because you don't know about it doesn't mean it didn't happen. Many Germans were murdered in Poland. Look up Bromberg massacre.

"Nuclear war cannot be won" It can be won as much as Britain won WW2.

"Some prophets of evil see the German economic system spreading and ousting us from the world markets, but is that to be apprehended?" - Alexander Cadogan, 1938. "England is advising France that they should both go to war regardless of Poland." - Joseph Kennedy, 22nd March. "Halifax felt that the inevitability of war sooner or later should be met right now" - Joseph Kennedy, 24th March. "Poland today on war footing" - Biddle, March 26th 1939 "War, and war now with a near eastern front. Without war the desired results may never be achieved." - Noel Mason-MacFarlane, 28th March. "The Foreign Secretary said that it was clear that if action was to be undertaken In circumstances at all favourable to us, or if the threat of action was to be an effective deterrent, Germany must be faced with war on two fronts simultaneously." - Cabinet Meeting Minutes, March 1939 [23/98] "No doubt it would be impossible to prevent Poland from being overrun. The Chiefs of Staff, indeed, thought that Poland would be likely to be overrun by Germany within two or three months." - Cabinet Meeting Minutes, March 1939 [23/98] (proof that the British KNEW Poland would lose any war with Germany) "THE FOREIGN SECRETARY reported that he had now received a telegram from Berlin in regard to relations between Germany and Poland, In effect, the upshot of the report was that Herr (German Leader) was now dealing with these negotiations himself, but that not much progress was being made. This was attributed to the fact that the Poles were adopting a more intractable attitude since they had obtained our guarantee." - Cabinet Meeting Minutes, 1939 "Germany does not wish to risk a show-down with the Great Powers of the West." - Raymond H. Geist, 3rd April. "The Polish Commissioner to Danzig telephoned the President of the Senate at 1 o'clock in the morning, and half an hour later sent him an ultimatum. That same morning he had risked a panic by sending away women and children, and at the same time the polish press had talked of bombarding Danzig." - Gerald Shepard, 10th August. "Burckhardt is greatly disappointed that efforts towards a detente have been definatley shattered by the Polish ultimatum of August 4th. He is distrustful of Beck and pessimistic about Polish intentions which he considers unduly warlike." - Gerald Shepard, 11th August. "The Poles had threatened severe economic reprisals and were privatley making threats of military action. Beck thought that the Senate had climbed down and published his success in the press." - Roger Makins, 14th August. "Polish mentality causes me to feel considerable foreboding." - Pierppont Moffat, 18th August "If the President is contemplating any action for peace it seems to me the place to work is on Beck in Poland." - Joseph Kennedy, 23rd August "I can only urge the importance of Poland accepting the proposal for direct negotiations and thereby putting herself right in the eyes of the world" - Nevile Henderson, 30th august "It still seems to me that the detente might have been achieved had it not been for the actions of the Polish government in sending what amounted to an ultimatum on the night of August 4th." - Gerald Shepard, 4th September.

@ak-od7mf It really is fantastic how these "academics" in the same breadth say Germany started WW1 AND 2. The logic that Germany started WW1 is the same logic that says Britain started WW2. Even if it wasn't already simplistic enough that Britain declared war on Germany after interfering in peaceful German-Polish negotiations on the status of Danzig.

@justgivemethetruth Is Ukraine in a class rival to Russia ? Read up about Chamberlain's "Peace Front". Though it's pretty difficult since there's no wikipedia page on it as it heavily undermines the mainstream narrative of "evil Germany wanted to take over the world and weak Chamberlain reluctantly defended Poland". But essentially Chamberlain wanted a security framework as NATO-esque as you could have in the 1930s. Except most European nations he asked said "no" to such a thing. Only Poland and France were in some sort of agreement with it. So my point is that it's ridiculous how John can explain "Russia attacked Ukraine because of western security guarantees" but not at all mention how Germany invaded Poland due to western security guarantees.

@Real_OSHA_Unsafety_Engineer both statements, pretty incorrect. Yes Germany was obviously revanchist in some respects of the Versailles dictat but actually wasn't in other aspects such as offering to renounce German claims on territory given to Poland in 1919 in return for Danzig. Meanwhile Putin has talked alot about Ukraine being part of Russia.

You should read into it. Because that is literally what Hitler wanted and what Britain did not want. Had Germany been able to make an agreement with Poland, who then would fight Germany on it's eastern border ? "March 1939 the British guarantee to Poland" by Simon Newman is a great book to start with.

@gaborrajnai6213 Well it must have made sense enough for the Germans to pursue friendship with Poland from 1933 onwards. You don't need a land border with your Empire. See most Empires in history.

@jiimmyyy free health care, affordable travel, workers rights, paid holidays, Winterhilfswerk and so on are not typically "far right" policies. And many people supporting such policies wouldn't describe themselves as far right either.
