It’s so crazy that our fathers never got to fight the Russians during the Cold War but the threat was ever present and there was some mystery about their capabilities, but we’re here in 2024 and there’s Canadians, Brits, Americans, Aussies etc all fighting Russians on world war 2 battlefields.

Some Americans are also fought against each other too. I'm remember saw a video where an American who fight for Russia rise US flag over a village near Avdiivka and I'm remember saw some guy say that there is an Americans and Canadians unit who fought for Ukraine as well. It's weird to see fellow countrymen fight against each other in foreign war if you ask me.

Which is exactly what shows that we didn't go in WW2 to fight the Germans we went in to help evacuate the most valuable members of the Reich, to destroy any evidence against "allies" involvement and weapon blueprints, and to make sure that Russia didn't go as far as England to clean up all those that were actually helping Germany until they realized that Germany wasn't going to win so the whole presentation switched to us being the "heroes" which is b.s, by the time the west started engaging Germans Russia had already started pushing back and would've been able to finish it off without us, so now the descendants of Germans from WW2 are out for revenge with a passion willing to lay down as many civilians as it takes, smh
