    Oh good, now they're ruining Stargate.

    It's also funny to adopt Stargate as a far right dog whistle, the show was the embodiment of 90s liberal internationalism. At least in the tail end and with the spinoffs.

        Looking at historical examples like the creation of Liberia and Hitler's initial plan to deport German Jews to Madagascar, there's a strong theme of racists trying to ethnically cleanse minorities under the auspices of "humanitarian" interests.

          The Japan-Germany Axis coordination was pretty incompetent and uncoordinated, good for us because there are many possible WW2 scenarios where Japan is more competent than just suiciding into the US navy in 3 years e.g a coordinated attack on the USSR that never happened that lead to many salty tears between them.

              oh Hitler's reason for that had nothing to do with helping Japan it was this beautiful piece of "philosophy":

              "A great power does not wait for war to be declared on it, a great power declares war"

              and that's basically all that informed Hitler's decision to declare war on the largest economic power in the world lol

              The US was defacto in a naval war with Germany for a few months by then, it was a matter of time before it became a shooting war so Germany more just made it official in a way that gained them a secured ally
