Happy V-day!
Polistra and friends join Russia in celebrating V-Day!
Reducing WW2 down to the least common denominator, leaving out lots of important complications:
(1) Krauts and Japs had been viciously conquering huge sections of the world since 1905.
(2) In 1940 the rest of the world got tired of this and decided to stop it.
(3) Russia defeated the Krauts.
(4) America defeated the Japs.
Yes, Britain and America played a large part against the Krauts; and Australia and China played a large part against the Japs.
But without those helpers, the game still would have been Russia 1 / Krauts 0, and America 1 / Japs 0.
On May 9 Russia celebrates its victory over the Krauts, and mourns the huge loss of life and property that went into the victory.
On August 8 America SHOULD celebrate its victory over the Japs. Nope. That's not what we do. Instead, we CASTIGATE AND FLAGELLATE OURSELVES for being the monstrous evil nuclear bully who coldly and premeditatedly and unprovokedly attacked those peaceful Zen-like innocent fragile endangered vulnerable little Japanese flowers.
Russia is crude but fully sane. America is fully wacked out.
