Putin and his band of oligarchs, Trump and his mates running defence companies. Murdoch and his media empire that will set the narrative on just about any political issue, including wars.

Didn't Europe start not one, but two world wars after America though? That's a lot more intense than just having some guns..

Thought the first was quite a few neighbors scrapping it there..

Also, the belligerents were mainly European in the beginning of WW2, so my point stands.

What belligerents? Which "first"? The first world war? Speak properly if you want to win an argument. The second world war started with Hitler. Who used the german army to invade poland. Your point that the whole of Europe started 2 WW's is invalid.

You seem like the most anal person ever, no-one has to type to your arbitrary standards random guy. A belligerent refers to someone/thing participating in a war so use your imagination. (Also I feel like you are forgetting that the Axis were a thing).

u/Annual-Temperature-2 Mar 14 '21

Yes I was going to ask if by belligerent he meant Italy which falls into the category of europe, but that still would be an invalid argument that the whole of Europe started 2 wars. I just like keeping Americans straight with their bs no need to get mad. I'd say that if someone wants to win an argument then they'd at least have to write properly. If they don't then they should just ghost the replies and keep on with their lives.

The Axis is irrelevant as to who started WW2. It was Germany and Germany alone that started WW2, by invading Poland, who had a treaty with France, who in return had a treaty with Great Britain.
