In Defense of WWII: Part 3 of 5

Hanson and Hitchens take on Buchanan's argument that Germany invaded Russia only because Britain under Churchill was determined to partner with Russia against Germany. According to Buchanan, had Churchill not refused a negotiated peace with Germany, Germany may never have invaded Russia and prolonged the bloody war for another four years.

Germany was going to invade Russia, this was inevitable, and a necessary strategic move.

@Chinomareno Britain/France gave a war guarantee to keep Germans under Polish rule. After Britain/France did this Poland refused to negotiate German-Danzig with Germany, which forced Germany into an alliance with their enemy Russia to take Danzig back.

Germany was never going to go west, never mind take over the earth, that is child-history.

Germany broke the non-aggression treaty it signed with Russia in a bid to remove Russia as a permanent threat. Russia had a endless reserves of man power and an impressive scientific muscle that had visibly laid dormant, the Germans knew their technological, industrial and military doctrinal edge would not last much longer if they allowed the country to industrialize. In the end they failed and were predictably crushed by waves of advanced weapons and manpower.

You are a moron, seriously read about the subject instead of spewing lies from some bullshit conspiracy site. First, Britain's involvement came after the invasion of Poland after the concession of Austria. Poland was also partly absorbed by Russian forces by a prior agreement. Germany was at the time closer to Russia than Britain, the Ottomans and Austro-Hungarian Empires were gone. That and Churchill attacked the Bolsheviks in 1918 trying to stamp out the revolution.

8:48- There would not have been a Berlin wall if it were not for the British-US invasion of Germany.

4:25- Churchill started getting funded by a Zionist pressure group The Focus in 1936, and then after this in 1936 started saying he would not breath the same air as someone with a lower death toll than Mussolini or Stalin. Hitler's death toll in 1939-9 was less than 200, Stalin's death toll in 1939-9 was 10,000,000. Churchill was just a warmonger.

5:10- Churchill wanted to keep German's under foreign rule. That is not anti-appeasement, that is anti-self-determination.

2:13- Hansen is such a fool. Hitler invaded Russia because he had to militarily stop Britain's potential allies, and since the US was not possible he decided Russia. If Britain would have stayed out of Germany's affairs in the east there would not have been a conflict with Britain and France, and Germany may have eventually went to war against Russia.

@AngrySkeptic When did he say that?

[TBlake34]

Once again, I'd love to read a quote.

I've sort of fallen for the bait in this discussion, and find myself defending Chomsky. If we were talking about his revolutionary philosophy of language work, I wouldn't have a problem, but obviously his political writing career is full of over-simplifications and obfuscations.

Then there are those sorts of claims, Chomsky in Znet: "North Korea is one of the most horrible countries in the world, nothing good to say about it."

Show me your source.

[AngrySkeptic]

Chomsky has defended the current North Korean government as "pragmatic".

That's all that really needs to be said.
