If there was a viable enemy who could've threatened directly, there's no reason to assume the U.S. of that hypothetical alternate world wouldn't have taken appropriate precaution.

A more interesting "what if" relates to WW1: Suppose the U.S. doesn't jump in at the last minute. France was about finished by summer 1918, much of its army was in a state of mutiny and most the rest was unwilling to take offensive action. Britain wasn't going to defeat Germany by itself. Germany was no better off. Without U.S. involvement you almost certainly see a negotiated settlement to end that conflict. The German government may or may not have survived a growing Communist revolution but in either case its strongly possible the Nazis never get the chance to rise to power. This in no way "blames" the U.S. for WW2, but rather shows the Law of Unintended Consequences in action.

Nothing wrong with being French Canadian. Much of my own (extended) family side is, stemming from my paternal grandfather. I might relate more to the Irish side of the family, but have the foreign-sounding frenchy surname as proof of the former.

It's also dumb because America is huge and while the German fighting units were mechanized, it's supply chains were still horse-powered. And they'd need a lot of bullets to kill an enemy that vastly outnumbered them.

We would have stopped them butt-cold in Ohio. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The Germans biggest weakness was their lack of oil and fuel

It's primarily why they invaded Russia and lost in Africa

We need ww3 fast because if not all the douchebags spouting off all the stupid ideas that got us here will be old enough to dodge the draft and they need to be on the front lines.

Battle of the Bastards


No draft, just let them decide for themselves. The worlds IQ would raise by a substantial margin the day that fight happens.

Spoiler Alert: They're all cowards and they will never meet in battle.

I don't think it makes you a coward to talk differently in person than on the computer.

Seems like good sense really.

You do realize that the marines still have donkeys?
You do realize that the US rented donkeys in europe.

This is really telling how ignorant you guys are.

You got told you were victorious and you assume it was all USA.

you did none of those things because you are such pussies even wearing masks scares you.

Would pay large amount of money to see G13 in a dinghy storming Utah beach.


Probably the pussy pretending to be dead in the dinghy, with piss and shit all over.
Get the fuck out of here, wuss.

Can't even coup correctly, you think you would have overthrown nazis?

Unless you think people on the internet are drones and not real, internet and the real world is one and the same and are you admitting to being mentally unstable and having multiple personalities?

I might call you the F-word on here cuz I can, but I wouldn't in person because you might stab me with a screwdriver.

Does that make me a coward? Wanting to not get stabbed?

If you don't understand what he's trying to say, you shouldn't be calling others stupid.
