ebul it was Ireland’s decision whether or not to join the battle to destroy the evil of Nazi Germany , that was their decision
But they didn’t , the sat back and left it to Britain That Britain fought in every corner of the world and in every theatre of that war in that great undertaking is to their eternal glory , and that Ireland sat back , safe , and with its arms folded is to their eternal shame |

By:
Shame on Ireland.

Or you could say they were smart in not offering sheep for a war they knew Britain would have to fight for its own survival and in the process automatically protect Ireland.

It’s very easy to sit on the sidelines , waiting and criticising while others have to go to war , the people and countries overrun , the murder and torture and repression and the horrors of the gas chambers and there were those who stood back and watched on , and those who became saviours , and gave their own lives , it was a glorious thing that Britain did
|

By:
Yep, the USA found it very easy to sit on the sidelines.
|

By:
The USA should have come into the war much earlier , imo
In that sense Britain is the greatest of all countries involved in WW2 And don’t foget it was Germany and Russia who started WW2 by invading Poland and dividing it between the two dictators |

For someone who purports to like facts just how do you make out Russia started the war? Britain was involved way before them.

Sorry when did Britain declare war?

Operation lasted for the following 20 days and ended with the annexation of the entire territory of Poland

Charlie Russia and Germany made the pact in August as allies to take over Poland and split it between them
Germany invaded , Britain declared war , and Russia as Gernanys ally invaded Poland and the two dictators split it between them What difficult to understand about that ? |

Two Cockney geezers serving in North Africa under Monty got a bit detached from their regiment and ended up on the borders of the Sahara,they were lost for weeks.
At deaths door they see a tree in the distance and as they get closer they see it is draped with every kind of bacon,crispy bacon,rashers,all sorts of bacon. Gaz started running to the tree shouting we're saved,we're saved but as he gets to within 5 feet he is gunned down in a hail of bullets. Den drops down on the sand and calls across to the dying Gaz,"whats happening mate?"with last breath Gaz says "run mate run,it's not a bleedin bacon tree,it's an ham bush". I'll get my coat. |

Surely even someone of your limited intelligence can see that if Britain declared war on the 3rd September 1939 and Russia invaded Poland (even though they didn't declare war then) on the 17th September 1939 then Russia didn't start the war as you said: And don’t foget it was Germany and Russia who started WW2 by invading Poland and dividing it between the two dictators |

Whether we could have avoided WW2 I doubt very much , not sure about WW1
Of course everything is easy in hindsight but thank God we brought the evil of Hitler’s Nazi Germany to an end , In Britain we faced the last enemy , the last enemy is death |

Charlie you may not be proud of what Britain did in WW2, I don’ t give two hoots about you or what you think
I am proud , get that through your wooden head |
