It seems as if half the people in the MAGA/America First movement express open regret that Hitler didn't win World War II - and the other half don't know that if we'd listened to the America First movement of the day, he would have.

How long does France have to be grateful? True Allies let you know when you are effing things up. And France has been an absolute stellar ally since WW2. So has Britain, Germany, etc.
Trump and Co. are the ones acting like petulant toddlers.
The world understands that America is being destroyed by its own while many Americans who were lied to by the GOP don't seem to understand it or the horror that awaits them and the world. It just seemed obvious to the rest of us.
I feel like we should be speaking to these folks in their own language. They speak white supremacy. Remind them that Putin is committing genocide against white Christians. Hitler lost the war. The Nazis accomplished nothing. Absolute total losers.
If the French were going to be speaking another language it'd probably be Russian. Hitler was never winning the war, it was just a question of who he lost fastest to. The Russians did most of the heavy lifting before America set foot on European soil. It's how they captured much of Eastern Europe.
She's mistaking forcefulness with intelligence! She thinks if she says something (obviously lies) with strength & conviction, the press will eat it up as truth. She's being called out because of her lies.....FINALLY!
And it was the Soviets who provided the manpower that fed the meat grinder that defeated the Wehrmacht. That Eastern Front was a whole other level of warfare.
Is there a cliche this person doesn’t use on repeat? “Asked and answered.” “If it wasn’t for the USA, (x country) would be speaking German right now.” Why does the press corps bother? She has already exceeded the lies/coverup limit for 2025. Just stop giving her an audience.
The Trump Administration seems to think that every goddamn person on the face of the Earth owes them an apology. What is it with these people? Donald Trump and his minions can't seem to just shut the f****** and do the people's business. They have to whine and complain about every damn thing
Journalists and politicians will learn that asking “normal questions” will be met by distain. This administration’s personalities are such that their impulse is to be adversarial. Ask outrageous questions, their impulse to push back will find them arguing for the less outrageous positions.
F-ing ignorance! Yes, the US helped Britain, Canada, Australia, NZ defeat the Nazis. And without allied help, perhaps the US would be speaking Japanese?
To solve problems effectively, it is essential to enhance the quality of my thoughts. By calming my mind and fostering peaceful thoughts, I can see situations more clearly
When my mind is at peace, problems lose their power over me. This clarity leads to solutions naturally emerging
Do most Americans have any idea that Britain settled its World War II debts to the United States (and Canada) on December 29, 2006, after a series of payments and suspensions over several decades? Trump can mislead Americans but the rest of the planet still believes in facts.
When Stalin started moving against Germany, Hitler moved 80% of his troops from the western front to fight the USSR). There is a debt of gratitude everyone owes to the enemy of our enemy in WW2. (source: Rise & Fall of the Third Reich - Shirer)
Actually they’d be speaking Russian. Amazing how little is taught about the eastern front and how the Red Army ground down the Nazi army to a shell of its former self. If the Allies never invade, the Germans still get run over.
Can you imagine Trump as president in 1940? Headlining America First rallies with Charles Lindbergh. Telling Churchill, “You don’t have the cards.” “Little Mustache Man sent me a beautiful letter, and we fell in love.” “
@maddow.msnbc.com's podcast series about the America First movement (and Joe McCarthy) are chilling history that I was completely unaware of.
It turns out that rich right wingers backing this treasonous stuff is not a new phenomenon.
And who supported the Colonies against the British during the War Of Independence? The French.
Also, American D-Day landings would not have been possible without the pressure on the Germans in the Russian Front, and also landings at the “British" and “Canadian" beaches in Normandy.
There is something exceptionally detestable about this particular bullshit barbie. There is a very special sense of entitlement and shamelessness on display here
There is a subset of "I love history" bros that never stop thinking and talking about the ways Hitler could have "won" if only he had done x, y, or z. For all intents and purposes, I'm afraid all of us are going to experience first hand what would have happened if he had won.
Barbie as speaker of the white house saying stupid shit that can insult Germans and French in one go and every fucking else who does not have a MAGA cap and a red neck.
magas equate gratitude with servitude and spinelessness ... rather the contrary of why the Allied nations fought for freedom and democracy; if they expect everyone to bow to them then hitler may as well have won WWII since there is currently no difference in their policies and arrogance
Apparently Karoline did not make it to 7th grade. She missed out on learning about the American Revolution and the pivotal role of the French navy and General Lafayette.
So if we want to play the past history game, hmmm, whose fleet prevented the British from evacuating their troops from Yorktown? Did you know that 40% of the ground troops at Yorktown were French? How about the (in today's terms) $13B in French aid during Am. Rev.?
Or the bloody British, there from the start and never surrendered or made a shameful deal, or the polish, Czechs, and all the other heroes who when their nations were overrun came to England to continue the fight, two whole years before America woke up

Drain the swamp? More like change some diapers.
That France?
They understand Hitler printed tons of currency to pay for Fascism
OMG She's worse than Kelley Ann Conway. Trump must love her.

(*Hey, where did the country flag emojis go?)
She's so fucking stupid.

But then I’m just a Canadian who knows history better than the White House spokesidiot…🇨🇦
Get any board or computer wargame and play out WW2 without the Soviets joining the Allies. Tell me how you do, against the Wehrmacht.
Good luck there.
