(historically, the equation generally doesn't change when there are more guns or bullets)

Reminder that multiple co-authors denounced the book when they saw how ludicrous the other sections were, such as tallying millions of Nazi soldiers as victims of communism.

Officially US the good ones which won Nazi Germany, despite that is was Rusia and the allied, the US only enter when almost everything was done

The Soviet Union (and I say that to emphasize that it was not simply Russia) and other Allies also played an important role in the Pacific Theatre too once they had some breathing space. I suppose the US glorify it so aggressively because it's one of the few major wars they were on the winning side of, but when they rapidly promoted former Nazis to high political positions and launched Operation Gladio, one can't help but realize their troops were only sent there to stop those Nazis, not Nazism.

How easily the US's friends are forgotten... [1][2]

I remember seeing a "Yakko's World, but with every country the US has bombed since WWII" and was sad to see they forgot the first one in the song, "America".

Gotta love the veto votes. Peak democracy.

I feel like the Taiwanese air force wouldn’t bother with these unofficial patches if there weren’t at least some truth to it.

I don't see the logic in this sentence. What makes those soldiers a more reliable source than you or me? Taiwanese people read memes too.
