basically the UN is a forum for dialogue and we need the big players to be part of it.

Allowing the five biggest arms manufacturers on the planet to decide "security" issues is no different than allowing the five biggest drug cartels in the world to decide "health" issues.

The Dnieper-Carpathian Offensive put Army Group Center in an increasingly precarious position even as Russia continually gained ground in Byelorussia.

And don't forget that during this time the ubermensch were also losing control over the Balkans...

Russians trying to rewrite history,

TIL... western historians deliberately glorifying the US and Britain's role in WW2 = "Russians trying to rewrite history."

When the USA joined the war it was already clear the axis had lost.

While I agree that that it was the Soviet and Chinese people that absorbed the greatest part of the Axis' powers warmaking ability (which western historians are apt to ignore), it's not true that the Axis had already lost the war by 1941. It's accurate to say that the US joined the war at a moment when the Axis forces had hopelessly overstretched themselves.

The US has never opposed fascism - Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany were colonialist rivals threatening US hegemony and influence and nothing more.

I have zero sympathy for anyone that bought anything connected to Phony Stark. Zilch.

You knew what you were buying into - you live with it.

There is no "left" in formal, establishment politics - none. Formal establishment politics is fundamentally right-wing - therefore, blaming the actions of political establishments on any left is inane.

A way to rapidly exit a game a la The Binding Of Isaac: Afterbirth. It has saved that game from being rage-deleted off my machine plenty of times.

I recently came back to Lemmy from reddit to escape the batshit pro-Israel censorship happening on there right now and I have to say that the quality of the content and discussion has just gone up.

I gave the most recent example

Do you have another one? As demonstrated, your previous claim is a pretty dodgy one.

Israel no longer has any use for bombs and shells.

Riiiight... and all Jewish people had to do to stop the poor, victimized Nazis from doing the Holocaust was to stop doing "Jewish-Bolshevism", right?

What other bullcrap do you want to peddle here, Clyde? Auschwitz was just a holiday destination with bad press, perhaps?
