and vancouver

top regressive cities in canada

and they can keep the french speaking parts too. It's bad enough we have to learn Spanish as a second language, let alone learning to speak surrender.

nah the froggies are awesome

they can meet up with their long lost relatives in Louisiana

etc

@Kollins that's why I'm saying we should annex quebec and start a french-spanish race war

lol

I kinda hate the whole French Cowardice Sterotype. It's not as insulting as the reality.

Cajun Accents are amazing!

lol

The reality being totally inept lack of common sense planning, oh and losing most your army to starvation. Cowardice would at least imply enough intelligence to avoid a fight they can't win.

it's cliche, but next to the surrender stereotype is the 4ft tall leader napalm or whatever his name was

A more modern example. Doesn't the French Navy currently have a really expensive Nuclear Aircraft carrier that can't be used because it was built and designed wrong? Moving slower then the steam powered Aircraft Carrier it was meant to replace?

you mean an army needs logistics? I suppose next you'll tell me someone wrote about that 1500 years ago

yea but in the US of A we built a tank that can't fit on normal roads or trains!

The Nazis designed a tank that couldn't cross bridges.

Then again France has a pretty bad track record with nuclear too. I mean didn't their famous Scientist who discovered Radiation also die from it?

true that

🦉

Discovering radiation doesn't mean discovering it's unhealthy.

When people speculate on the What if's of WW2 too much focus on the Germans. The juiciest bit is from Japan actually.

do tell

Tesla unknowingly built an X-Ray machine because it created a "weird glow", before X-Rays were discovered.

Fun fact in the earliest planning stages for the war. Like deciding where to focus R and D for the future of the War. First Suggestion in that Japanese Meeting. "Hey what if we make a bomb powered by an Atomic reaction." Immediately laughed off in favor of a "Death Ray"

ello owl

For context how much of an Impact this would've made. Your talking years before they even thought of the Manhattan project.

Manhattan project required a tremendous amount of intellectual power, as well as a fucking load of money.

And they messed up their War planning in the most stereotypically Japanese way possible. Opting for the "Death Ray"

yea those boys didnt fare well with the protection from radiation thing either

True.

Japan wouldn't be able to develop nukes, nor the Nazis.

I dunno we got a lot of the talent for Manhatten Project from Germany

Scott Manley has a series (he just published a new video), "Going Nuclear", about all the various difficulties in making a nuclear bomb.

It's not so much the likelihood of them devolving nukes. More the hilaritaity of what they opted for instead.

The sheer infrastructure the US had is what allowed us to develop the bomb

I mean. Passing up nuke research for the "Death Ray" Sounds like an Really old Godzilla movie plot.

that's so true
