Stephen Fry released a statement: "Elon Musk is not a Nazi. Nazis make really good cars."

What's great about this, and Stephen Fry is brilliant, is not that he's absolving Musk, or that he's criticizing Tesla, but that it is an argument likely leading to Elon Musk protesting,
'No, my cars are good enough that I can be a Nazi!'
I think that they were winning before they invaded the Soviet-Union.
In an alternate timeline where they kept the alliance with the USSR, I think they would have won.
The USSR had resources while Germany had engineers and technology.
And without an eastern Front, they could have held off the allies on the western front.
But they got cocky, paranoid and greedy.
And I am glad they lost.
"The alliance" ๐ in that alternative reality they'd have been merked by the USSR once the red army had been reorganized.
Also "if they didn't invade the USSR" is such a stupid take. Sure, but the whole reason the Nazis came to power was to fight their idea of "judeo bolshevism" and invading the east for "lebensraum". Hitler was deadset on destroying the soviet union. You're basically saying "if the Nazis weren't Nazis they would have won." Which, yeah, maybe, but if they weren't Nazis would they even have started the war? No way to know.
Completely ahistorical dipshit take.
