    The great flaw in the fascist plans leading to WW2 wasn’t a military error.

    It was not being America or Russia.

    They’re looking to fix those oversights.

      Don’t forget, the goal of Hitler was a united Europe. Now that Europe is united, it’s turning far right in most countries. Hitler just had the formula all backwards. Now with Russia being a dictatorial regime and Trump being a Putin lover, Biden is the one to stop the US from being a Russian puppet state. This world is so fucked up right now. Putin wants to restore the Soviet Union and the American Republicans are all for it.

        Yeah, the Soviet Union, but with all the lip service to communism replaced by actual capitalism.

          Well, not really. The regime is a totalitarian dictatorship, the system is extremely corrupt with all the oligarchs. So it’s not really capitalism. Communism is replaced by nationalism. Not really nazism, as the nazies had a very social system (only national). Putin wants the old borders of the Soviet Union back, not socialism.

        I knew they were going off the rails for decades, but when I saw them stroking themselves to shirtless Putin on horseback while saying Obama was “weak” because “mom jeans”, I knew they were just beyond righting themselves.

      Relatively early on (can’t remember the date) Himmler gave a somewhat notorious speech about eventually recruiting far flung “true Aryans” from the US into the SS, much like they eventually did from several other countries.

      Luckily history played out a bit differently.
