@mur2501 yes, WW2

@freemo @mur2501 what about finland in WW2?

@freemo @mur2501 sided with germany for independence from soviet union/russia. mannerheim still is kind of a national hero there.

@bonifartius @freemo
It's a similar story with India. Half of the Indian army at that time fought with the British in hopes that Britain will give independence in return. While the other half seperated and went to fight alongside Germany in hopes that they will defeat Britain.
Two ways for the same goal

@mur2501 @freemo interesting, i didn't know that!

@mur2501

Unfortunately the way things are going it looks like India is going to side with the bad guys in WWIII.

@bonifartius @freemo

@Pat @mur2501 @bonifartius @freemo Why keep score? WWIII will be such a fair thing, nobody left behind.

I've been reading up on that topic. Nuclear war could actually be survivable by many people.

Those near ground zero of the targets would die and anyone who could not find shelter underground would succumb to the radiation from the fallout. Of those who go underground and are properly shielded and could stay underground for a couple weeks, they could survive. Although many of those would have shortened lives due to increased cancer rates.

There would be plenty of food for awhile because there would be so few people compared to all of the canned food and such at various locations in the distribution chain. That food could actually last for a decade or so until the survivors got organized and started growing food again.

It would be one of the worst catastrophes that humans had ever experienced, but fortunately (or unfortunately) the species would survive.

@Pat @mur2501 @bonifartius @freemo And, btw, "bad guys"? Anyone in the game not qualifying? So who do you mean by that?

@admitsWrongIfProven

>"And, btw, "bad guys"? Anyone in the game not qualifying? So who do you mean by that?"

China, Russia, Belarus, Saudi Arabia, probably India and whoever else they can get to join their side.

Yeah, the US and other Western countries have gotten pretty bad, too. I guess it should be "worse guys".

@mur2501 @bonifartius @freemo

@freemo
Huh, you didn't specify which side.

I doubt anyone thinks the germans were in the right on this one...

@mur2501

@freemo @mur2501 Why germans? There were many sides...

Of course germany was completely in the wrong, but the question was if anyone was completely in the right, that would include "no warcrimes" for me. Anyone like that in WW2?

@admitsWrongIfProven

Thats fair if thats the metric at play.
