If you think it does, I could say the opposite, it wouldn't be any more true, states are projections of great men and ideas people think of
Yeah at the end of the day the entire concept is born from social stigma and a unity against a common enemy or drive for a goal
But that's philosophy bullshit and it is *not* what i want to discuss at 6am
Or the desire for power of an individual, the best reason obvs
Why is this tankie way more based than all of the rightoids here
Step up your game NEETs
Oof tankie
Who is the tankie
Me?
I have to assume you are because you're defending Stalin and shitposting against kulaks
Oh you think im commie lmao
No no
Dont get me wrong
Nazbol?

Churchill and FDR are enemies of humanity change my mind

Roosevelt was on the warpath by 1938
There's a reason he got really fucking chummy with Chamberlain after the Munich Conference when the two despised each other beforehand
Patton was right tbh the US was fighting the wrong enemy
Lots of historians
In books i read on this kind of stuff
A common thing i see is something along the lines of the following
"Germany's continuation of the war to the very last was foolish, and it would only have been excusable if they'd held in the east and let the allies through in the west"
But they forget that at Teheran in 43 Roosevelt literally speaks up in the middle of a conference, completely unnanounced and says
