Opinion of the Irish government during WWII

Cowards.

Cowards.

Wasn't Russia sending supply trains to Germany up until the very moment Hitler invaded?

Whats your point?

That the Russians wouldn't have fought either, indeed, were perfectly willing to support Hitler, until Hitler attacked them.

Actually we won the war.

Well... not only does that have nothing to do with the point, but had the United State not been feeding your asses, then if would have been hard for you to fight.  Moreover, if the British not have obliterated the Luftwaffe, and knocked the Nazi invasion schedule off several weeks, then the Germans would have steamrolled you guys over pretty quick.

Lets say the fascists took Moscow. They would have had guerilla warfare to deal with far worse than Vietnam was for you guys.

But, I'll bet they didn't teach you that in Soviet school

Nice try.

And you still have failed to address the point that the Russians were no less cowardly, and in fact, were worse than the Irish.

Russia was allied with Germany.  They had a deal with the Germans to duel up Eastern Europe.  How is it you have so much "Russian Pride" but can criticize Ireland, or Western "cowards"?

Oh right, we're the cowards. All we did was defend our homeland. While your country was safe thousands of miles away from danger.

Who do I blame for the rise of Nazism and the severity of the Second World War?  

All of humanity.  

There were plenty of people all over the world who could have stopped Hitler, or at least stopped the situation from become as bad as it was.

There is something in the human experience that leads to scapegoating, and fear mongering.  There is something in the human experience that makes people think "not my problem".  There is something in the human experience that leads people to sellout other people, and their values for a little bit of temporary peace and security and I dare say comfort.

Then, you have the other side of humanity.  Thank God the there were a handful of influential people who were still ruled by that side.

Thats fair.

I know its hard to tell over the internet, but I was being sarcastic when I said the Irish were cowards during WWII.
