Zelensky’s former spokesperson. clown

Both China (20+ million people lost) and Vietnam suffered heavily under Japanese occupation, and Kazakhstan (like Ukraine) was literally part of the USSR. Gotta love how these pathetic fascists attempt to rewrite history. pit

    It’s amazing how much the British were celebrating with parades and shit these last few days. They weren’t anywhere near Berlin. The Soviets took the city with the US not far away approaching from the other direction. You’d think thousands of Englishmen stormed the Führerbunker, with many of them dying in the process, with how much gloating was going on this week. Germans had to fight through eastern European Allies to get to the western Allies in order to surrender because that’s how encircled they were. Fucking Poland had more involvement than the Brits for the final defeat of the nazis.

      Hell yeah we had two armies in the battle for Berlin. Who are now being slowly erased from the history or at best calles “Soviet puppets” in order to prop up literal forest collaborators and the actual British puppets who were used by western allies as cannon fodder along the colonial troops.

      You’re right in terms of Berlin and the final days of the war. And the way it was taught here in school way back when you’d think we were the most important and heavily effected country by WW2 despite the massive sacrifice of the Soviet Union, the number of Poles sent to camps etc. Still, half a million dead and years long bombing campaigns at home aren’t nothing. I went to school near the coast and it was a regular occurrence for us to be sent home for safety because they kept finding unexploded German ordnance on the beaches and cliffs nearby even then.

      That being said, in my lifetime I’ve watched the original meaning and sentiment of remembrance and VE Day completely warp in this country. It’s almost exclusively a pro-militarist, culture war thing now, with the noisiest people about it being almost exclusively made up of shallow American-style ‘salute the troops you traitor’ types. And don’t get me started on the fucking poppy these days…
