US President Renames May 8th and November 11th

Eh Russia is also somewhat responsible for the war since they invaded Poland too. And their core competency was making sure as many of their own died as possible.

 

This is all just as revisionist as the Trump stuff lol

 

So Russia didn't invade Poland in 1939?

 

I mean that devoid of context is a fact, the other stuff around it however ...

 

The build up and start to major events and wars is what propels them forward. The Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact was extremely important in setting WW2 off

 

Ok, the Soviets were fighting the Japanese before Molotov-Ribbentrop. And the Japanese were in China before the invasion of Poland. Hitler had already annexed Austria and part of Czechoslovakia (and had designs on Poland before the MR pact). Is it just one event in Europe that began WWII?

 

Cant wait for Grenada Victory Day

 

And as far as the US is concerned WWII began when Germany and Japan declared war on the US

 

I think most mark the invasion of Poland as a pretty major milestone in European WW2

 

Who are "Most?"

 

‘Complete Moron’ Trump Announces WWII Victory Day on Wrong Date

 

I realize anti-communism has brain-poisoned Americans, but Russia's contribution to the war was also a little more than mindless human wave attacks ... that's literally just regurgitating Nazi propaganda from the war. They became better at warfare than the Wehrmacht, they even built superior tanks and crushed them in their style of war too - the Battle of Kursk. The Eastern Front was nasty, a lot of people died, German and Russian (and the nationalities that served with them).

 

Why do you think this has anything to do with America First. Are you really that easily fooled?
Not everyone who thinks Trump is an idiot is a lib. We're just not easily fooled.

 

Branding BS. wants a trail of things he changed

may 8? Who celebrates that?

 

Bill, you really should explain how this action puts America first
Thanks

 

Similar to “Indigenous people’s day” vs “Columbus Day”, I don’t think “Victory Day for World War II” rolls of the tongue compared to Veterans Day. I wasn’t even aware of any effort to rename Veterans Day.


Not even sure how this makes sense for moron culture warriors. With “indigenous people’s day” it’s obvious. The libs raise historical doubts w/ Columbus and want to acknowledge someone else. Culture warriors of course can’t stand that “someone else”. On this one Trump wants to take away acknowledging… Veterans. Uhhh…. okay.

 

More Americans currently celebrate "Star Wars Day" on May 4th than anything on May 8th

 

Well it makes sense in the same way Canada does not celebrate July 4th. Canada celebrates their own independence on July 1st. I’m sure they acknowledge July 4th (just as we acknowledge VE Day), but it’s not a national holiday for them.

VE Day is more of a European centric date.
