Would the Germans have been better off if Italy just stayed neutral? As far as I see it, Italy just got Germany ensnared in secondary fronts - and a Neutral Italy could have helped circumvent the British blockade.
Was the Rome-Berlin Axis a mistake for Germany?
>>2807976
Probably, Italys goals were just autistic and in no way strategic
Yes, and the alliance with Japan too. Germany would have been much better off without any allies.
>>2807976
Italy just wanted more colonial holdings in Africa
They actually wanted to negotiate with Britain for concessions in the Mediterranean, but the Brits refused.
Italy wouldn't be ready for war against the Allies until around 1943 which the Italians informed the Germans of, but they ignored the warning.
This is largely to blame for Italy's military failures. They were simply not equipped for anything other than colonial wars and their command structure was fucked.
"german soldiers didin't do that, maybe, but it was strictly forbidden"
"what do you mean?"
"Rape, the russians did that"
"The germans didint do that?"
"No"
"it's something you always hear, but the wehrmacht didin't do that"
How much of this is true ? is it really true that the germans didin't commit "official" rapes in the east, and if they occoured, it was punished ?

Of course not, it's not a rape if you kill her afterward.

Was Stalin a National Socialist?
>>2807726
He was a socialist, but he was bad at it.
Maybe he was nationalist if Soviet Union count as nationality.
Yes.
>>2807737
He forced Russian culture and language down the throats of every non-Russian Soviet ethnic group.
Despite being a Georgian, he was one of the greatest Russian nationalists of all time.
Yes OP, you got him. He was a National Socialist, you figured him out.
Unpopular opinion thread:
Russia would've industrialized without communism, however probably trough the same methods.
Would the Holomodor have occurred in the Czar?
>>2807723
Why not?
>>2807720
>trough the same methods
Elaborate.
Or was it just Himmler and the SS being overzealous?
When the Gauleiter of West Prussia, Albert Forster, was commanded to Aryanize the territory, he just made all the Poles there register as Germans and sign documents stating they had German ancestry.
Himmler got really pissed because he wasn't adhering to "racial purity" and kept trying to get Hitler to do something about it, but Hitler didn't care and just told Himmler to piss off.
Was Hitler actually involved in the final solution? I think he was too busy looking at maps, war plans, and architectural plans. The actual governance of occupied territories and Germany itself was more done by the SS, Himmler, Speer and the Gauleiters. I doubt Hitler had any involvement beyond giving non-specific instructions and telling them to do what they want, saying "no questions would be asked".
This board needs more janitors
>>2807710
He was but there is no outright 100% explicit proof, there is enough evidence to be far beyond reasonable doubt however.
>>2807710
>Did Hitler actually a specific order to kill all the Jews?
Probably not.
But senior officers usually deliver their intent instead of delivering orders and he would have made his intent very well known.
He would have been well aware of it regardless, so either way he is culpable.
Why didn't nazis just shoot the jews? Who thought gassing them was a good idea? Did Hitler accidentally order too much fertilizer or what? Explain
>>2807709
don't question the narrative goy
>>2807709
They shot them as well, they found it had worse psychological effect on the soldiers though.
>>2807709
They shot them at first but the bullets were getting too expensive and the whole activity was too time consuming.
I've often heard Japan preserved the ancient chinese culture better than the chinese themselves. I know Japan was heavily influenced by the Tang, but is there some truth in this claim?
How can they preserve the Chinese culture better than the Chinese themselves? They localized everything to fit their tastes. And a lot of the Chinese culture they got was transferred through Korea and was thus already Koreanized.
>>2807719
Because with every successive dynasty in China everything from the previous era gets destroyed and replaced by something else
>>2807728
>everything from the previous era gets destroyed and replaced by something else
That's not how shit works. All things change but there is a cultural continuity. And Japan modified Chinese culture they liked so they weren't "preserving" it all.

Elagabalus was a fucking mistake just as entire Severan dynasty.

Alexander Severus would probably have become a decent emperor
Seeing Thomas Sowell vs Noam Chomsky would have been wonderful. One on foreign policy (probable Chomsky win) and another on domestic policy and economics (would go to the darky).
>>2807473
I would have killed to see a Friedman vs Keynes or a Friedman vs Chomsky debate.
I fucking love that little Jew.
William Lane Craig vs Richard Dawkins one-on-one and not that silly Mexican debate that they had where it was three-on-three.

Is sexual orientation a spook?
There's literally nothing wrong with some male on male tomfoolery.
>>2807207
well yeah, but not if it's gay
>>2807207
Yes. Kinsey scale and all that. You're attracted to what you're affected to and it may or may not have a penis.
>>2807207
Caring about sexual orientation is a spook
you can't force yourself to be attracted to someone but stigmas surrounding homosexuality or polygamy are as spooky as they come
What would happen if some sort of virus hit humanity that resulted in 99.9% of people becoming irreversibly infertile?
>>2807076
have fun with your genetic bottleneck op
tho higher susceptibility to disease and genetic disorders doesn't sound very fun
also for the sake of continuing humanity abortion would prolly be outlawed
the (((0.1%))) women would have to be forced to be surrogate mothers for aryan babies

> the Vietnam war was fought without any kind of conventional body armor
>>2806857
The average infantryman in the South Pacific during World War II saw about 40 days of combat in four years. The average infantryman in Vietnam saw about 240 days of combat in one year thanks to the mobility of the helicopter.
