To help us Europeans in 1945, thousands of Americans had to fight their way from the bloody beaches of Normandy all the way to Berlin, under fire, in ice cold trenches, watching their friends die left and right.

But to help the Americans in 2026, we Europeans need to sit in our heated livingrooms and hit "end subscription" on streaming services that finance the American oligarchy — and of course no one wants to live through the horror, so fascism it is.

@randahl except they didn't get all the way to Berlin, and they were not alone despite what they like to suggest

@hetoug There is 1266 kilometers from Omaha beach to Berlin.

The American troops entered Berlin on July 4, after two months stationed 150 km west of the city.

You can argue that the US did not arrive early and fight alongside the Russians inside Berlin. But it does not change the fact that US troops traveled 1266 kilometers through a war torn Europe to defeat Nazism and end World War 2.
