Nobody gets sanctions unless they're really causing trouble.
These are weak arguments and you know it.
No, no it isn't. Obama struck a deal with the Saudis to get the oil prices down to seriously cripple Russia apart from sanctions.
By doing what they were doing? America put a stop on the Nazis and sent them packing.
You realize it's crippled Russia's economy right? That isn't a side effect. It was the main goal. This was all over the news.
Not really, no. The U.S. Gave the UK the breathing room they needed.
Well we murked the Nazis
Quote from: challengerX on April 15, 2015, 06:29:16 PMWell we murked the NazisWe helped but if anybody "murked" the Nazis it was the USSR. The Nazis were pretty much done with by 1944. D-Day just put the final nail in the coffin. If we "murked" anybody it was Japan.
And it would have been impossible for Nazi Germany to actually maintain control of the land they gained during wwII. Hell, they barely had any control over occupied Russia and Yugoslavia during the war, and they'd be trapped fighting a massive and brutal insurgency until they collapsed if they had "won" the war.
It really wasn't that much. Really, the Nazis gave them the breathing room they needed since they were so fucking retarded. They wouldn't have invaded the UK one way or another since Hitler changed the aim of their aerial campaign over the country right when it was on the verge of success. That's what gave them the breathing room they needed.

Sure there would be a power grab in the USSR but you still have the largest country in the world to maintain control of which still has industries. The Germans would need about as many people to maintain it and put down resistances as they did during the invasion. Either way they would be screwed.

Instead of building battleships and the Bismark they should have used those resources to build U-Boats. After WW1 and up to the time the Nazis fell there would have been no time at all for them to build a large enough fleet to take on the UK. The U-Boats on the other hand were putting a hurting on the UK from the start of the attack up to 1941 or whatever year the U-Boats became pointless. Hell Churchill said he feared the U-Boats the most.

Hell Churchill said he feared the U-Boats the most. They actually focused on making submarines far more than you'd think. Making more and more submarines ended up being a stupid idea as the US and UK developed countermeasures to submarines and soon after, they were hardly a threat. They only feared the submarines when they didn't have any effective ways to deal with them.

They were getting kills but they were still too few in numbers to do patrolling right. What I love is that it was latter on when the subs started getting a camo like paint job for the tower. You would think they would have had that done from the start.
