Uh, War Is A Racket was published in 1935. Hitler formally announced his “Heim ins Reich” (“Home To The Reich”) pan-Germanic unification effort in 1936.

Wow...

You said something shockingly incorrect, then tried to move the goalposts...

Everything that happened after his book disproved everything he said.

Other's should take mind how your claims dissipate the moment facts are introduced.

B.S.

Nothing I have claimed is counterfactual and my argument is simple to grasp for anyone who has read just a modicum of history on the rise of Nazism in post WWI Germany. Yet to put a finer point on it, I am arguing that WWII directly resulted from the punitive conditions placed upon Germany by the Treaty of Versailles.

In short, the austere conditions imposed on Germany after WWI led to severe economic instability, including hyperinflation and mass unemployment. These domestic hardships in turn inculcated widespread discontent among the German populace, making Hitler’s promise of a return of a prosperous Germanic Empire extremely appealing.

With that in mind, it can reasonably be argued that WWII was simply a continuation of the “War To End All Wars” and the Treaty of Versailles thus directly led to WWII. And I further am arguing that the needless intervention of the United States into that Imperial conflict tilted the balance of power to the Entente, thus contributing to the retributive terms of peace placed upon the “Huns.”

This not a particularly novel — much less controversial — argument. Many historians have indeed argued that there is a causal relationship between the Treaty of Versailles and the severe economic measures placed upon the German people after WWI that ultimately contributed to the rise of Nazism and the demise of the Weimar Republic.

This doesnt help "Americans."

This helps the establishment DC swine. If you want to help Americans, work on inflation and opportunity.

You speak confidently because of your world view.

Not because you can predict the future.

You should question your beliefs more, there are a number of people here who have gone from disliking the government to actively rooting against America.

I agree with this. We are in the situation we are in cause we have ignored what's been going on in our neighborhood. All due to a mix of intent and ignorance.

Trump sanctioning Colombia's Petro, his wife, and son is a big step too.

We just need to be able trust Trump is going in and out hard and swift. No more boondoggles. Just let the military do their job and get it done.

It's been broken by us, and now Trump is trying to fix it. I'm fully aware it's not just about drugs.

Fixing this area is high on the list of what I wanted Trump to figure out. Even back in his first term.

I'll say anyone who complained about the illegal immigration policy under Biden, can't complain about going in and fixing the country they fled.

You could start with concentrating on the right country(s) and boy of water.
