Losing Europe [View all] Woodswalker Oct 2021 OP

Pretty sure that Germany not Russia was the opponent in WWII Sherman A1 Oct 2021 #1

Right after WWII, the Truman Doctrine/ Marshall Plan provided huge amounts of money to Europe Irish_Dem Oct 2021 #3

Granted, but not what was posted Sherman A1 Oct 2021 #6

It was just once misplaced word. But I hear you. Irish_Dem Oct 2021 #11

The OP may have had information of value Sherman A1 Oct 2021 #14

The enemy was Germany Sherman A1 Oct 2021 #16

Germany was our opponent during WWII but if we had not attacked Germany, Russian Spook Oct 2021 #28

A lot depends upon which counterfactual scenario you are wishing to work through Sherman A1 Oct 2021 #31

I was not writing about the Lend Lease only the use of military engagement. Russian Spook Oct 2021 #32

No second front Sherman A1 Oct 2021 #33

Russia wouldn't have a second front, but Germany can not count on not having one. Russian Spook Oct 2021 #34

You missed the point, but yes we are better off than Sherman A1 Oct 2021 #35

So your basically parroting old lessons Woodswalker Oct 2021 #36

I don't think you know what "counterfactual" means muriel_volestrangler Oct 2021 #41

Your right, we did send the red army Spam Woodswalker Oct 2021 #37

And trucks and aircraft and tanks Sherman A1 Oct 2021 #38

Some Americans think we're a country of nitwits also. llmart Oct 2021 #10

I wish we'd bring our troops out of Europe then jimfields33 Oct 2021 #19

If we take our troops out of Europe it would be a sign of weakness and also a sign Russian Spook Oct 2021 #29

Data, not anecdote: European view of USA far more favorable in 2021 muriel_volestrangler Oct 2021 #27

That data's from March 12 to May 26. 10 quid says those numbers have dropped, perhaps a lot. Celerity Oct 2021 #39

I doubt they've dropped much. muriel_volestrangler Oct 2021 #40

Dust ups with Germany and France for instance, happened after that survey. Let me know when you get Celerity Oct 2021 #43
