that was to defend against germany

No they built it because they had a defensive mindset and saw how the last war played out

not invade them

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Unthinkable

Again, in 1939 their mindset would be different than it was in 1944

they aready lost so many men in WW1 and didint have enought men to hold that long border. let alone invade.

If in 1939 the USSR invades europe it would have collapsed

Germany lost more, they LOST WW1 after all

They had no logisitcs, badly organized supporting elements, a garbage airforce, no compotent officers, a dual command structure and low morale

France and britian didnt start mobilizing until Germany took over Czechoslovakia

This makes me think the US being world police

So then Jasse lay out the year you think this mythical invasion happens in. Because if it happens in 1939 the russians wouldnt even reach germany

rethink*

US is the world police right now

We should've just gone to war with the USSR after bombing Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

No

Interpol is

hah

Interpolis is a company in the netherlands that makes glasses 😉

>go to war with a numerically superior foe across a wide front

Hahaha knee slapper

ahahahha no

We had nukes

Would have more casualties imo. Warring on two fronts just means more deaths

They still didn't

We didnt have nukes, we used the only ones we had

Well the US didnt want to use nukes

it wouldve taken 6-12 months to make more

I know

McArthur did

America had spent years making pro soviet propaganda, it be very awkward if they launch operation unthinkable

Mcarthur is overrated

@Blackhawk342 USSR already invaded finland in 1938.

In 6-12 months the russians wouldve pushed back to france because of their superior land forces

Bailed on his men in the Philippines

Too cocky with the Chinese in korea

or well tried...

At the very least we should have fought for Eastern Europe instead of giving it over to the USSR.

Ok in what month

Poland is still mad that the allies bailed on them after the war
