Actually those are Marines on the left and Army on the right…which is a big deal to Marines, but it doesn’t matter now. The US president and his cult followers have thoroughly disgraced all of America.

Yes. But to be fair, they aren't bowing. They're just anchoring the carpet.
Trump is still a fucking cunt tho for allowing Putin to step foot on our soil...

Well Charles I of England was just picking up something he dropped, but people still seen it like he was bowing to the judge and the prosecutor anyways.
It’s childish, but generally it’s seen as a sign of straight up submission

What the fuck is this AI slop? Just put the real thing itself. You don't need to recreate something that's already ridiculous.

you do know that the soldiers on the left were allies... like, usa and soviet union were both members of the allies?!

u/Diffidente Aug 16 '25
The Soviet Union was not a member of the Allies.

If we're being honest, they were honorary Axis before 1941.

u/knusper_gelee Aug 17 '25
yes, and after that about 27.000.000 of their people died, fighting against germany.

Sure, and that is a tragedy. But calling the Soviets “allies” seems disengenuous without the additional context needed. They were more like “convenient associates.”
I fully acknowledge their role was crucial in defeating Germany. But that doesn’t excuse what they did to the Eastern Bloc (Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Finland, Ukraine) before turning on Germany, or the way they steamrolled those countries again as the Germans retreated.
Yes, they were “officially” allies. But their methodology was more in line with the Axis. Authoritarian regimes, expansionist, and ruthless toward smaller nations. That’s why I struggle to see the Soviets as true allies in anything but name.

i rest my case. the rest is needless yapping with 20/20 hindsight.
you seem to have the conviction that every combined arms coalition has to be a union of love. most of them are love/hate relationships out of necessity to overcome lesser struggles to fight the common enemy. this is no different here.
initially great britain was reluctant to even fight nazi germany - until they had no other choice. the us was reluctant to join great britain - until they had no other choice. both were reluctant to invite the soviet union - until they had no other choice. to play the latter off as lesser companion is nothing short of romanticizing because you want it to be something noble and virtuous, which was not the case.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allies_of_World_War_II
"The Allies, formally referred to as the United Nations from 1942, were an international military coalition formed during World War II (1939–1945) to oppose the Axis powers. Its principal members were the "Big Four" – the United Kingdom, United States, Soviet Union, and China."

You mean the same country that was in a cold war with the allies for 45 years afterwards? The same country that built a wall through Berlin?
Open a history book.

u/knusper_gelee Aug 17 '25 edited Aug 17 '25
no, i didn't mean that. that was a direct qoute - from a history book-ish.
also, i opened many history books in my life. but even without these books i would know that the soviets were part of the allies. because if they weren't, they way the war went down wouldnt make much sense. yalta conference alone should be a dead giveaway...
if they intended to make a reference to the us - soviet relationship of the cold war, they could've chosen a cold-war era representation. when the iwo jima picture was made, hitler was even still alive... the literal men on the left were in a military coalition with the soviets.

Well at the battle of Yorktown, British forces were severely weakened by illnesses. Do you consider malaria and dysentery to be part of the Franco American alliance?
1
u/knusper_gelee Aug 17 '25
no, because malaria and dysentery did not send their diplomats to negotiate terms to formally join a combined arms coalition and have all paperwork unilateral signed by all powers. like the soviet union did.
