Not at all. Moscow falls without American trucks, trains, airplanes, boots, clothes.

The useful idiots are pumped up by bots upvoting.

The soviets owe their existence to the United States.

You’re leaving out the part where the peace talks were already a non starter. https://www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles/japanese-diplomacy-1945#:~:text=Japan’s ambassador to the Soviet Union in 1945%2C Naotake Sato,That effort ran through Sato.

After what japan had done, there should have been more bombs dropped.

And I know your argument is disingenuous because the fire bombing of Tokyo killed more people.

Ah yes. Blame the regulations for busting up the union, moving production to South Carolina, then firing all the expensive workers that care about quality control.

Japan literally took American ideas and make them work. Japan brought over American innovators who were stifled at GM and Ford. They put in the production that killed Detroit.

Not with top down, hierarchical societal conformation. No room to foster innovation.

Stealing. The word is stealing not catching up. It really doesn’t matter matter because China lacks the creativity and forethought to make the tech work. That’s a cultural problem.

Yeah, but I don’t want my product associated with that speech. You can’t force me to put my product on a pro nazi platform. Add to that the algorithm pushing nazi propaganda on Twitter, then no public company with a duty to the shareholders should advertise on Twitter.

And now human music.

So China does not allow American companies in china nor do they allow most imports. Then they steal any ip they can get ahold of. Then you complain about the free market in a totalitarian state? Yeah, nah.
