If Germany had started with, and stuck to, attacking Russia, I doubt it'd have been a world war. I don't remember who all were Russia's allies at the start, but IIRC only the French were particularly fond of Russia. There weren't a lot of the usual royal contract-through-marriage, were there? Did many nobles have Russian cousins?
Pretty sure that last time they had already taken a couple other countries before heading to Russia. Stopping at Russia was already too late.
Well, yeah. That's why I qualified it with "if they had started with..." You're right, though; they couldn't have invaded Russia without first going through a couple of other countries first. They could have technically invaded Russia while minimally involving other countries by going through Poland to get to Kaliningrad Oblast. But then they'd be stuck again; they'd have to have taken Belarus to get to Moscow.
So: Poland, Belarus, and next stop: Miscow! Easy peasy. Talk the Japanese out of antagonizing the US and have them focus on Russia, with a promise to divide it. Not that the Japanese would have been much help on mainland Russia, but it'd at least give them something else to worry about.
"the entire western world"
A bunch of crazy politicians want that. The majority of people in both sides wants peace and would like their money to be spend in useful things and not giant armies.
I read a lot of news and thus is the first I'm hearing this
Mass media spin the narrative. Ask people irl around you what they think
To clarify, it's the first I'm hearing about the Germans becoming some sort of Deus ex machina against Russia
I do indeed talk a lot about the goings on with my peers
Here is the weasel
LOL...yeah but the peace on their terms never aligns with the peace of the other side. so fuck russia and burn a tesla.
We've always had a giant army. It just wasn't ours and we can't rely on it any more.
You know the US is not the "entire western world" right?! I think venezuela would be against it for example.
