      We could’ve stopped the Nazis by… You know… Allowing Jewish people to move to America…

      But bombs are cool too I guess. If you only want to be slightly less racist than Nazis and are fine with a lot of unnecessary death.

          If someone is running from a burning building, I don’t feel sending them back inside the building while you decide what if anything you want to do is a well planned strategy.

          My point isn’t “take the Jews, problem solved” my point is “here’s one strategy off the top of my head that would’ve helped a lot. If I can think of one easy solution so effortlessly then we clearly put no effort into fixing the problem without a war. No effort at all”

          If you want full details of how exactly we could’ve prevented war listed out by experts… Google it. Like I said at the beginning. The info is out there. Why should I copy and paste it for you. Go read it yourself.

          I’m not here to hold your hand.

        So just allow Hitler to take over europe and make an ethnostate through mass exodus?

        If you’re talking about the nukes, I agree, they were unnecessary as Axis Japan was already on the decline.

        But to argue the entire war was preventable by just displacing jewish people is naive and borders on antisemitic.

        There might’ve been ways to prevent the war from starting, like not destroying Germany’s economy as a scapegoat for WW1 would have done a lot.

        But after the Nazis siezed power there’s nothing you could do to diplomacy the Nazis into being peaceful.

          It’s one of many easy things we could’ve done but didn’t do. If you want a complete answer you can Google it. I said I don’t have the time to list it all here but the information is easily available.

        just getting jews out of germany would specifically not have worked because hitler mostly cared about german imperialism and used jews as a scapegoat. this would not have stopped the nazis, though it would have saved jewish lives

          No one single thing could have fixed the complex situation. If you want the complex answer, Google it. Better people than me have explained it. I don’t have the time or energy.

          There what is?

          “War is unnecessary. Don’t message me about war you like. Just look it up yourself”

          “What about this war”

          “Unnecessary”

              Yet you asked the question anyway just so you could say “there it is” and pat yourself on the back like you uncovered something.

              It’s like if I said “I don’t believe I’m the death penalty”

              And you responded “what about for really bad people”

              “Yes even for really bad people”

              “There it is!”

              It’s nonsense.

                  I do mean that sincerely. I gather you disagree with me and that’s absolutely fine. There’s definitely a lot of solid arguments out there against it. I understand.

                  You at least respected I don’t have the time or energy right now to get into a long complicated discussion. I just wanted to say what I told soldiers instead of “thanks for your service”

                  I shouldn’t have lumped you in with the others, and for that i do sincerely apologize.

                  Edit: and I’m not as much of an asshat as I sound in my comments to others. I’m just tired and too busy to go into all the complexity involved in avoiding a world war. Obviously that would take hours to even get to “I respectfully disagree”.

                  Fair enough. Other people asked but you absolutely did not. You are correct. I’ll take that L
