Waaah, waaah, bad US man touched an object 80 years ago and that makes me sad for some reason. Go get some real problems to be upset about.
I wouldn’t invest too much in arguing against that person. I remember reading their distinct style of insisting on writing “USer” instead of “American” and I assure you, they are too obnoxious and stubborn to be worth the effort.
Eh. The president of the US can offend tens of nations with "shithole countries" remark, and I cannot refuse to indicate people from US with a word that should/could address an entire continent's population? I cannot do it, simple as that
This is a real problem, as USer still do this kind of things today. And anyway bad mouthing USer is always something good 😉
I'd still rather be from the country that kicked Hitler's bitch ass than the one whose leader's lips were stapled to his ballsack until the Germans weren't winning anymore. Where are your countrymen in that photo?
So the Russians then?
Italy, I believe they mean.
Correct.
Russia deserves credit for being willing to throw men into a meat grinder while the United States bankrolled her war effort and kept her from getting her shit kicked in by the Wehrmacht. And if you disagree with me, you disagree with Field Marshal Zhukov and are therefore obviously wrong.
Lol calm down, Russia do deserve credit they really dealt with a shit show, a lot of them died, the leader ship treated the troops as a meat grinder.
Maybe make less assumption and have a dialogue.
Sure...
Not in frame, not touching historical artifact
Being as relevant as ever then. Go play some soccer or something.
Exactly, partigiani where extremely relevant.
It's a fine cheese, Kraft distributes it here but I don't see what that has to do with anything.
Well, after all, I'm not that wrong
It takes a ridiculous amount of privilege to think that this is even in the same universe as a real problem.
I wonder if you would write the same if it was an artifact from another culture.
I would. It's not like the guy threw it on the ground and stomped on it. And when you're fighting the nazis, honestly I don't give a fuck if you make fun of some inbred douchebags fancy hat. At all.
Nah. I'm fine now
