If you actually don't already know, that's Raul Castro, Cuba's president at the time; the photo was taken at the conclusion of the December 10, 2013 memorial service for Nelson Mandela in Johannesburg.
I misread what you said the first time around. You did not say that that the United States wanted the Nazis to remain in power. You said how happy Germany was to be invaded by the United States. You were, obviously, trying to make the point that the Soviet Union needed help earlier in the war than it got it; that it suffered grave losses; and that by the time a second front was opened up a victory by the USSR was already assured. I had already acknowledged that. I can only add that there is no telling at what cost a victory by the USSR alone over the Nazis would have come, if it is even true, however.

Arkteia's original post:
"I don't know if our officials are well-versed in history, so ...maybe they did not even mean it like this, but D-Day was the saving grace for the Germany. (And the constant topic of contention between the US and the USSR at one point, historically. 'When we needed them to open the Second Front, in 1942, they won't. When the Soviet Army was already winning, they had their D-Day to save these Nazi').
(And remembering how Himmler was pursuing separate peace with the Western Allies, how Germans hoped for it, even failed Hitler's assassination coup, when the conspirators planned to immediately start separate talks with the West), one could say that the D-Day saved most of Germany from the Soviet occupation and what came with it. So it is a complicated issue, but I assume, old Germans are very thankful for the D-day. And most of the young ones, too, although I feel that the very positive attitude towards the US in Germany changed after Iraq invasion.
I agree with the rest of what you have posted. But it is true that the Soviet Army would have been able to end the war by itself, after it took Berlin, the rest would have been easy, and the D-Day and the invasion of Germany by the Western Allies was the saving grace for the most of Germany."
@AGBF , Thank you Deb. I realize we are not all bad. I’m disgusted by this administration. I’ve made a donation to the UCLA.
@Dancing Fire , Taking children from their parents is morally wrong.
These children are going to complete strangers. Can you not imagine how tramatic this is for these children and their parents? I will never understand people who lack empathy and compassion.
I seriously doubt JFK would rolling in his grave because of the democrats.
I see just what ‘cha try’n ta do.... lol.
I know nothing,nothing!.Naturally, Dancing Fire knew.
I just want DT out of there. I need an expanded base for that.

DebThese working-age adults already face several requirements and restrictions on how much SNAP aid they can receive. For example, they must register with SNAP and accept any job offered to them, or any training program that they are assigned to. Unless they are older than 49 or raising children, they must also verify, on a monthly basis, that they are working or in job training at least part time (after a three-month grace period).
CCIf the Dow closes low today, it will be the longest losing streak in 40 years.
I saw sarah lieabee sanders couldnt eat at a red hen.
I think is was WRONG of them to not let her eat.
They should have let her sit down, make her wait for an hour or more.
Then take her order and After each item was ordered reply “ I’ll have to get back to you on that.”
Then when the food came it should have not been anything like what was ordered and when she said this isnt right... the waiters should have said they were so tired of people reporting on fake food that clearly it was a conspiracy to make the cook look bad and how dare she say that the food wasnt what she ordered and the cook said it was.
Then they should have threatened to remove her eating privilege there if she didnt stop asking about the things they dont want to hear or talk about and if she doesnt like it she can refer all her questions to the outside council of raccoons that hit the cans at 3 am.
I think refusing people because of political beliefs is a road we shouldn't want go down. It is tribalism at it's worst and not the world I want to live in.
But they are a private business and can refuse to serve if they like. I just don't have to agree with it or eat there.
Pharmacists should fill prescriptions prescribed by doctors. It appears the law allowed it in this case, so legislators need to change it if the people want it changed.What are your thoughts on this?

I feel the same about refusing people because of religious beliefs but we've already gone down that road. Restaurants have the legal right to refuse service as long as the refusal is not based on discrimination against those with protected status -- unless of course the one refusing to provide service does so based on religious belief, then that person can treat people as inferior in order to feel superior.I think refusing people because of political beliefs is a road we shouldn't want go down.

Tomato To-mah-to. Perhaps the proprietor needs a sign in her window so no one of the perceived incorrect beliefs enters the establishment. Is that where we want to go? If you don't want me there then I would like to know ahead of time.I agree, but Huckabee wasn't refused service because of her political beliefs. She was refused service because the proprietor did not wish to serve someone who aids and abets an immoral administration. That said, if I owned the place I would not have refused to serve her even though I think she is a disgusting individual who should feel nothing but shame for the lies she perpetrates. I would have told her exactly what I thought of her and hopefully she would leave of her own volition.
I saw a meme once that said "political parties are religions" which seems to be the case these days. It is very sad indeed if people choose not to interact because the other person is a member of another political party.I feel the same about refusing people because of religious beliefs but we've already gone down that road.
