 better than yoursChristianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

 I speak hypothetically of course.

 AhemOriginally posted by snoopy369 View PostYet if you asked historians without which country's participation would the Allies have lost WWII, the list would be something like:
 
 US
 Britain
 USSR
 China
 Canada
 
 Perhaps fourth, at best, probably fifth. Certainly helpful, and they certainly were a major element of the victory, but I think saying "We never lost a war" based on that single participation in a war where you were not in the top 3 combatants, is rather weak. 
 
 Actually this is more like it:
 
 US
 USSR
 Britain
 China
 CanadaModern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
 The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.
 The simple suggestion of a true change scandalizes and terrifies modern man. -Nicolás Gómez Dávila

 Actually I think the US and USSR where probably equally important in WW2. I've heard serious arguments raised that the WW2 would have been won without direct US military involvement just by Russia, China and Great Britain.Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”

 The western front opened in 1944, by then the war was clearly lost for Germany.Originally posted by TCO View PostGermans had 60 percent of troops on the West front, not East. Who knows, Stalin would have probably made another deal with Hitler. Already showed he was willing to do that sort of thing...Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”

 I also think the percentage is probably off.Originally posted by BeBro View PostIn WWI maybe Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.” Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”

 From what I've read, 90% of German divisions were on the Eastern front in WWII.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
