    I think Canadians are envious of the film A Bridge Too Far, which highlights Americans and the Brits and the exploits that they made in the Netherlands.

    These fucks came into the war at the end, and think they sacrificed the most. Canadians were there all along and liberated most of the country before the US even got around to pulling their heads out of their asses.

      Yes, but the hardcore Wanna-be American Badasses don’t bring up The Russians did most of the fighting, and lost millions and millions of men.

      Not defending Russia today, I’m not a tankie, but just acknowledging they fought, and fought hard, for a long time in WW2.

      I’ve mostly had bad interactions with Serbians I’ve met but I still won’t condemn and entire group.

      That’s a little harsh. Let’s reserve our scorn for the people who deserve it. The vast majority of Americans are victimized by this president as well, and the smart ones are going to need refugee care eventually.

      Some of us don’t live there, some of us have common sense and stand 70 for their fellow human, some of us are worth a shit.

      …I mean, not me -Im a piece of shit, but my wife and kids.
