Democrats: Gosh darn it dagnabbit, that Hitler sure was weird, wouldn’t y’say?
@aral Sure, but so far we have a better record than the Germans fighting this stuff.
@jdormansteele2 The problem is, there isn’t a USA to save the USA from a Nazi USA. (Kinda what happens when you take yourself hostage by building the world’s most lethal military.)
@aral@mastodon.ar.al @jdormansteele2@mastodon.social I'm sure the rest of the entire planet and human race will figure it out, this reeks of US exceptionalism lol
@froge @jdormansteele2 Donno, man, the only country to have nuked people? I think it’s a rational fear more than anything else.
@aral@mastodon.ar.al @jdormansteele2@mastodon.social At the risk of being dragged into a political argument for a passing comment, I do have to point out that perhaps the several other nations with the ability to use nukes, but the restraint to choose not to, are perhaps going to be fine... Besides I was mostly commenting on the idea that the USA alone ended up defeating nazi germany, historically that's not really the case, although they helped they weren't the cause of the loss (talk to your local history buff about why)
@froge @jdormansteele2 Oh, yeah, no, I wasn’t arguing that at all. The last thing I want to do is fluff any USain egos more than they’re already fluffed.
@aral@mastodon.ar.al @jdormansteele2@mastodon.social ahh no worries, it's a common thing that comes up online, but seems like we understand each other :)
