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.

Americans are taught this propaganda early and, unless they are intelligent and curious enough to pursue learning outside of compulsory education, they will never have this belief challenged. I was shocked when I realized how skewed the history education was that I received in DOD schools. History is one of my adult interests, thankfully, and my bookshelves are filled with WWII/Holocaust non-fiction.

You'll get some variation of what this woman said about the US saving France from most Americans, I believe. The smirk on her face as she said it though is an extra layer of douchebaggery though, I must say. Having people despise her has got to be a kink.

to be fair to Americans, they didn't save France from speaking German, but from speaking Russian.

the Soviets were crushing the Germans towards the end and were swiftly moving west. they could have kept going but the Allied invasion from the west prevented that.

Well yes the Allied invasion, not the American invasion. Or has Trump renamed that too?
