> Thats fine, where is your Nürnberg Trials equivalent? Which of your politicians have been hanged or gone to jail?

There is none, because the US didn't lose an aggressive war during which it also exterminated six million people based on ethnicity.

No one in Germany would have been hanged for Nazi crimes if it hasn't lost a war totally.

When you don't lose like that, past human rights abuses are handled differently. For instance, the US government has formally apologized to Japanese Americans for wartime internment and paid reparations for it.




> because the US didn't lose an aggressive war

Saigon didn't happen, sure.

I get it. The US needs to loose, totally.

I think the EU should ally up with China and Russia. Korea and Vietnam will probably also want to join us.

So is this about human rights, or just monomaniacal anti-Americanism?

I'm sure you're aware of the quite Nazi-like aggressive war of conquest happening in Eastern Europe right now, where civilians are being indiscriminately shelled. Why would you want to ally with a country doing something like that?


> Why would you want to ally with a country like that?

Same about bombing of Korea and Vietnam. Why should anyone want to be allied with the US?

> where civilians are being indiscriminately shelled

North Korea.

You are quick to point fingers, fix your own country first.


> Same about bombing of Korea and Vietnam. Why should anyone want to be allied with the US?

I don't know, maybe ask some South Koreans and find out?


Go fix your own country first before pointing at others.


> Go fix your own country first before pointing at others.

I'm sure the Uyghurs would appreciate that.

Should the US have followed your advice during WWII? After all, slavery was quite a sin that hasn't yet been fully atoned for, and even less so in the 40s.


Yes.

Even if that meant the Nazis won or achieved a negotiated peace that left them in power (e.g. no Nuremberg trials, no hangings)?


The allied victory was paid in soviet blood. The axis had lost before the first US soldier stepped foot on European soil.

Fuck off with your US white liberal savior complex.

It's quite possible that things might have been different if the Nazis were secure on their Western front or the Soviets hadn't received American aid (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lend-Lease#US_deliveries_to_th...).

Really?


Yes. This is not the first time i feel this, it might be a cultural thing in the US.


> Yes. This is not the first time i feel this,

I'm sure it isn't.

> it might be a cultural thing in the US.

No, I don't think it's that.
