Counterpoint:
The nazis collapsed not because of foreign intervention but because their ideology held that they were all super special boys and everyone else on the planet was subhumans to be subjugated - same as this administration.
These guys are duck-ups and what they want to do is either pointless or harmful to themselves.
Bullshit.
The downfall of the Nazis was because they attacked Russia but were in no way prepared for the Russian winter. Where many soldiers simply froze to death (one must not forget meth or Panzerschokolade). This means that soldiers who are overtired do not realize that when they are tired, the body no longer works at 100%, making it more susceptible to cold and producing less heat). This mass death from the cold gave the USSR the opportunity not to be overrun and to push back the Nazis. Had it not been for the winter, the USSR would have fallen. America would have had an enemy over a much larger area (this was all before the Americans were able to seize all the knowledge of the Germans), the Germans were already close to completing the atomic bomb... as well as stealth airplanes etc. Believe me, if so many had not frozen to death in the East (fortunately) it would all have ended very differently.
So you're saying that they believed themselves to be special boys and that the Russians were subhumans to be easily subjugated?
Thanks for opening my eyes!
Yeah just like the "bank run" on FTX wasn't what caused it to go bankrupt, it was actually the owner's hubris.
In much the same way that the fire didn't burn the house down, it was the tenant buying matches four days earlier.
If you're willing to go that many levels down to get to the root cause of an event you might as well say the nazis being humans is what caused the collapse.
