And thank you all, including the Soviet Union, for fighting against Nazi Germany and liberating the rest of it.

Yea, I think they called the forces in Europe something… Allies maybe? I dunno, can’t remember.

Also, I find it funny that Americans love to harp on the French for getting whooped by Germany when the American occupied Philippines folded faster than Superman on laundry day.

Also they spent 20 years in Afghanistan for it to roll up to the Taliban minutes after they left.

Wars are hard. Wars get lost. If any Americans don’t believe it, check the White House carefully for smoke damage.

Signed, a Canadian and forever ally to the true America and true Americans.

No we don't. We celebrate ourselves for winning WW2. Which we did. Typical Eurocentrism limits the war to the western and eastern theaters. We fought in both of those, yes.

But we did pretty most of the heavy lifting in the Pacific Theater and dealt the death stroke.

And that was the end of WW2... not the fall of Berlin.
