Yes, We Have to Talk About Trump Again

Discussion in 'Off Topic' started by Imitation-Cheese, Dec 7, 2015.

  1. hard to have a naval blockade if you aren't at war with the country and as It was said the British were the only ones fighting Germany at that point.
     
  2. Thread started about Trump, has turned to WW2 strategy.
    How do?
     
  3. Because Trump is a stupid version of Hîtler?
     
  4. Is ez. Add trump+1=potato
     
  5. cos trump's campaign runs the same lines as hitler's before he had an army to back him lol
     
  6. What the hell are you talking about.

    Britain was at war with Germany. They blockaded Germany's trade routes. You can't deny that there was a blockade.
     
  7. But you can deny the importance and effectiveness off the economic war.
     
  8. ^if you include American loans, it also can't be denied. The Russians were fighting with American food and American fuel. It's one of the reasons the war got turned around so quickly.

    The blockade in itself didn't make much of a difference IMO. All the world powers were involved in the conflict already.
     
  9. If anything it would of been harder to defeat both the USSR and the British Empire separately. It would of allowed Britain and its superior Royal Navy to take the fight to Japan and force the Japanese into submission or destroy their military to a point that they aren't even relevant anymore. It also would of allowed the RAF to build up a much larger force while the Luftwaffe was suffering losses to the USSR. So when the battle between Germany and Britain finally happened, Japan would be seriously weakened or out of the war, the RAF would be overwhelmingly superior to the Luftwaffe and the Rotal Navy would still be able to destroy the Kriegsmarine with little trouble in a large scale engagement.

    There is also no guarantee that Germany would be able to defeat the USSR so it could of still ended up in a 2 front war but against a more powerful Britain and with a weaker Japan as an ally.
     
  10. Ah. Good point. I forgot about Japan.
     
  11. I'll vote for Sanders first, then whoever runs against Hillary if the Dems pick her
     
  12. Hillary may be bad, but not as bad as a Christian fundamentalist nut bag with an anti-Muslim vendetta who wants to reignite the war on drugs and teach everybody creationism in high school. (AKA Ben Carson)
     
  13. I wish I'd learned creationism in high school.
    The failing grade would've made coming out as atheist so much easier.
     
  14. In my high school they basically said "creationism is full of crap" and the textbook went over 7 reasons (a whole chapter) why evolution exists and how it occurred.
     
  15. Nathan read the earlier discussions with rio the topic of a British surrender had been discussed and as the British empire was the only power openly fighting Germany following the fall of France no more fighting no more blockade.
     
  16. Another idea to look at is the fact less Mexican Immigrants have been coming to the U.S. yearly. More have actually been leaving back to Mexico.

    Also it may be due to the fact Obama has actually deported the most illegal immigrants than any other president.

    So why is Trump focused on a dying matter?

    Trump only gets the less educated vote. So lets hope that we have more educated people voting! It'll be a tough match since America is far from the most educated country. LOL yay…

  17. U forgot France n Canada declared war on Germany on Sept 3rd n 10th 1939.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Le ... Canada.jpg
     
  18. France was defeated by Germany in 1940.

    Canada was part of the British Empire and was obligated to be in the war. So was South Africa, India, and Australia
     
  19. No

    It was Canada's 1st independent declaration of war. 14% of all Canadians donned a uniform in WW II.
     
  20. Also... Canada waited a week to join the war to kind of flex the muscle of independence
