        Ah yes, and the purpose of the nazi Axis was to stop colonial subjugation of weaker countries, and not to carry out stuff like the Lebensraum. /s

        The EU are literally some of the main perpetrators of this sort of subjugation.

        NATO could become this too once the IA fucks off.

        Literally the main perpetrators of this stuff.
