The next video up indicated the Irish were neutral in WW2 (the German Soviet war)

Message:

Neutral but sympathetic to the Allied cause. Seems pragmatic. At least they weren't selling diamonds to the Third Reich (looking at you Switzerland).

Why should a kid in Dublin die fighting for Kings who were all related? Why should a kid from Boise care? I mean other than the slogans and such?


Once the Reds had the US lend lease, everyone could have all sat on the side lines and watched the fireworks. The Germans and Soviets would have ground each other down to dust. A good Risk player would let them both lose.

History will note the Soviets and Germans started the war on the same side. When 2 bullies insist on clubbing each other, let them.

In the end, the Germans will own it all without the need of tanks, bombs, and well creased uniforms. They will just buy it all.

Yours,
