Yes, well. Should you choose to start an argument with me conserning history, I'd advice you to grab a few books from the library and get google ready. I am a history student. Cultural history, common history and history of warfare are the things I really enjoy to study.
So, which part of the 1938 events would you like to talk about?

The part that the british tried to negotiate for peace back in 1938 and hitler went home and laughed afterwards and then later invasion of france begun. The point is the west didnt take hitler seriously and then war got started and alot of people died between 1938-1945.Samething with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Europe isnt taken this guy seriously and one day the unthinkable will happen and then who we blame? the UN?

I agree that Iran should be allowed to have nuclear weapons, but ...

Iran is a democracy?? How so?



I'm not sure about Pakistan, but India's far more stable in this regard.

if you can figure out a way to secure the persian gulf and the countries of the middle east from retaliation from iran, and ensure that 100% of iran's nuclear programs are destroyed, all without putting more troops on the ground, please share it with us.

'Missile Air Strikes' aren't going to affect hardened bunkers at all. please stop crying for more war, especially when you aren't going to be a part it.

Western allies did not want war, but Hitlers goal was war, he had lifted the battered Germany on loan, he desperatly needed war, BUt he also needed time to build up and develope more weapons and equipment. But West was not as big of a problem than East, the Soviet Union, largest nation in the World.
Soviets also saw war in the horizon and they too needed time to build up for it, thus Hitler and Stalin signed pack not to assault one another, and while they were at it, they split up Europe. Stalin got nations in the East, to make them as a buffer-zone against Germany, and Hitler got rest of the Europe.

Of course both intended to assault as soon as other matters were settled, so this packt was a solution to buy more time.

Both nations launched invasions upon their neighbours, and Both Britain and France realized the possibility of another world war. Neither was ready for it, and both feared similar war than WW1, so they tried to negotiate, peace at the expence of smaller nations. Hitler played along, he needed the time.

Stalin kept his end of the bargain and took one nation at a time in the Eastern Europe, but Winter War against Finland was a resounding humiliation for the Soviets. (russians still see this as a minor skirmish and point at Soviet-era information of the war) The mighty Red army failed to conquer small nation and Hitler saw this as a sign of the true weakness of the Red Army.
Western Alliance was reluctant to help, in the fear of full world war, and Germany acted according to the packt and allowed Soviet aggression.

If I recall correctly, Hitler stalled the invasion againt France for 30+ times. When it finally happened, it was a close call. Defeat of the France was due to the poor co-operation between military-branches and downright backstabbing of other field of military. In addition the strategy was outdated.
Britain expedition force was also thrown back, and was forced off in Dunkirk.

(Propaganda has shaped general view of this event, but it was indeed utter defeat. All military hardware was lost and British sometimes used Bayonets to keep other nations soldiers away from the ships and safety. Also, vast majority of troops were in fact evacuated in the docks by destroyers, the small boat-armada did really little to help.)

French rearGuard bought three days and eventually all British and large number of other nationalities were evacuated from the Beaches.

Britoins continued by shooting at and sinking French naval assets in port. Truly admirable and nobel alliance..

Now Hitler was free to use troops against Soviet Union. Battle of Britain was not so glorious and important as it might seem.

Wanna know more?

One cannot compare Iran and Germany during that time in any way. THere are little to none similar.

Funny, I've never seen any SteveOx Polls where there are a full range of options.

None of the above would be my vote.

I like war, but I think we should better wait for sanctions to produce their effects. And above all for the rising opposition against Ahmadinejad to kick him out. His opponents are stronger every months, as a growing number of Iranian are realising their nuclear capability build-up that no one could deny) only worsen Iran’s economic crisis.
We still have at least 2 years until Iran become a nuclear power. If in the coming 6 or 12 months Ahmadin… is still in power, then Iran nuclear capability should be destroyed.

What's the point of that? I mean, a nuke is a big thing to call down on people. I say we just take a pre-emptive action against them. One that DOESN'T lead to a war (like Iraq). Just do what Israel did when Iran tried to get nukes more than a decade ago: bomb the nuclear facilities.

iraq not iran. If attack on Israel (with regard to the small size of this country) is too devastating, Israel itself will launch a nuke. On teheran.
