Now imagine me in the Eastern Line
Sitting on a mine in the Eastern Line
Now it’s turned out nice again
The Army life is fine
Putin can’t kid us a lot
His secret weapon’s genocide
But you ought to see what the polish got
Down on the Eastern Line
Down on the Eastern Line
Begun, the Slav wars have
Again?!?!?!
Wait, they stopped?
We will rebuild!
Pointless, they will come through Hungary and Slovakia if Ukraine falls
Not pointless, a somewhat protected border is better than a not protected border if they have to go around it
That was the entire point of the Maginot line
There’s a philosophical question: if it did it’s job flawlessly, and still accomplished nothing, is it pointless?
It accomplished slowing the Germans down and forcing them with going thought the rougher terrain of Belgium. That’s far from nothing
As I said, it worked flawlessly, but if it worked flawlessly, but France still got overrun, it’skinda debatable what the point was?
What’s the point of seatbelts if people wearing them might still die in car crashes? Might as well get rid of them then
So you mean… the perfect eastern maginot line?

Okay hear me out.
Except that the only way for these fucks to go around the Eastern Shield is to go through Ukraine, and that’s not exactly possible for these idiots
The more things change the more they stay the same
To be fair, the Maginot line wasn’t breached. The Germans went around it.
Which was the entire point of the line. Belgium back out if their defense deal with France, and even German high command was pissed about how quickly Rommel was going through Northern France. Fall Gelb was absolutely balls to the wall insane and could have seen the German Panzers encircled if the Allied forces had been the least bit competent.
if the Allied forces had been the least bit competent
This is honestly the first time that I’ve ever heard someone say that the Allied forces were incompetent. They did win the war after all.
Eventually, but it took a lot of trial and error to get that far. Very few Allied commanders who started the war managed to finish it.
I guess you could say the Allied forces won the war because their command structure was better at replacement than the Axis
It was more about resources. The allies were basically the rest of the world between the British, French, and Dutch empires. Japan did more to disrupt that than Germany did, and Germany was eventually knocked out of the Naval war, which left Britain free to import as much as they needed from those combined empires. And the Nazis were running out of fuel, which is why they invaded USSR.
WWII ended up being a war of attrition just like WWI was, the main difference was that Germany was able to take a lot more territory before their lack of resources caught up with them.
100%. The British army, at the time, was good for little more than putting down colonial rebellions against vastly inferiors foes.
Tbf to them though, at the time, no one had any reason to expect hundreds of mobile artillery fortresses, driven by methed out nazis, to appear 50 miles behind them.
The Nazis were winning for most of the war. The UK might have been knocked out of the war entirely if the Nazis hadn’t paused their advance and given them a chance to get their men back across the channel, which they needed to borrow civilian boats to do.
inb4 Russia steamrolls through Lithuania to get around the barrier
The way they overran Kiev in 3 day?
Completely useless and the fucking Muscovites will use human waves to breach the line. The best solution, a shit ton of tungsten pellets, cluster munitions, willy pete and my favorite…napalm. Bring back fucking napalm!
Make Napalm Great Again
omg I didn’t know a single person could be so based
Completely useless and the fucking Muscovites will use human waves to breach the line.
I mean given the tactics in Ukraine it’s not out of the question…
By the time they reach Poland there will be no meat left to throw at the line.
Why is that?
It’s not like Belarus will resist them
