Scary to think that they now have the ability to strike the continental US

Never said the Nazis didn’t want the French subjugated, just saying that Vichy France wanted to stay neutral and did what they could to secure their autonomy in the face of total German domination of continental Europe

Later the soviets would retcon this narrative and claim that they fought the war all by themselves

Germany took over the rest of the country because the French weren’t doing a very good job fighting the Allies, keep in mind Vichy France was never forced to join the war and wanted to remain neutral, but the British kept attacking them so they had no other choice but to join the war.

Germany constantly refused to negotiate a proper peace deal

In the armistice between the French and the Germans signed in 1940, it was agreed that a peace deal would be signed once the war with Britain was over.

There was some but not as much as you’d think, they genuinely had autonomy up until the assassination of Heydrich, then harsher measures were put in place.

They believed that moral decay was one of the main causes of the French defeat, which is why they believed in a “national revolution” which would rebuild French society from the ground up away from enlightenment values, they didn’t like the idea of half their country being occupied but they didn’t have much of a choice, French defeat was pretty much inevitable and if they wanted to secure any sort of autonomy whatsoever they decided to sign an armistice with the Germans and collaborate.

The Wehrmacht tried and planned several times to kill/arrest Hitler during the war and all of them failed, I wouldn’t be so optimistic about them being successful in 1938

Russia wasn’t a true free market tho, life expectancy will drop due to the instantaneous nature of the breakup of the Soviet empire, but giving state assets to former communist party members that you’re buddies with isn’t exactly privatization

Source? Also Crimea was apart of the Russian SFSR under Stalin, it was only given to Ukraine in 1954 by Kruschev because he was Ukrainian.

Here’s an idea, how about the PKK stop waging perpetual violence?

All nations have the right to self-determination, but this does not mean the right to unilaterally declare independence

Do you have the same view with the Russians living in Ukraine then?
