Besides which wars from the last 36 years are you disagreeing with/blaming on America? The Falklands? The Troubles? Bosnia? Kosovo? Sierra Leone? Intervening in Libya? ISIS? Or just Afghanistan and Iraq?

I always have trouble with there when it refers to a future event. 2) Of course is there any other kind? In the revolution Washington drove a SRT Dodge Challenger and kick the Brits ass. Then in the American civil war Abe Lincoln used his beard to free the slaves and save the union. Then in WW2 we came in and fight the Nazi's while you guys carried our stuff and drank tea. That's how it all happened right? 3) Yeah what happened was Rambo beat them by himself. God Remy don't you know anything? And we've already beat North Korea once. Didn't you see Team America: World Police?

We already beat the Luftwaffe and Germany didn't dare invade because we had the most powerful navy, they would have never kept the supply lines open. Russia was taking Germany apart in the east, all you guys did was speed the war up a year by helping us open another front. Nothing would have changed if you didn't enter the European war.

In any case, there won't be a war between the US and NK, the NK govt are mad but not mad enough to get involved in a genuine war. Russia is the one we really need to worry about.

If he wasn't such an idiot and didn't break his truce with Stalin then the war might have been different (then you guys would have been fucked without us ;)) "Nothing would have changed if you didn't enter the European war." lol keep telling yourself that. whatever makes you feel better.

      Editing … Read about the Russian army purge and the German influence in it. Russia would have attacked once their command was up to standard with that aggressive German army on Polands old border, Zhukov already had a pre-emptive attack plan against Germany before the invasion. War was inevitable and Germany had to attack when it did to stand a chance. Hitlers initial plan to attack was sound, his options were limited. Mistakes were made later, starting with supplying troops with winter equipment, when it became clear they couldn't do it before winter they should have made it a priority.

      Editing … Yes, it was only a question of time before either Germany or the USSR would break the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, simply considering the ideological hostilities that existed between them. Not forgetting Hitler's Lebensraum plans for the East, which he never really made a secret of, and which made a peaceful coexistence between Russia and Germany impossible. Also, people often forget that German troops actually came very close to taking Moscow in 1941 - the Battle of Moscow was probably the major turning point of WW2.
