Fair points, but Russia lost about 13 million. The rest of the victims of Germany were from other Soviet republics.
Russia sacrificed 27 million people to defeat the Third Reich while the US gave less than half a million, then installed prominent Nazi officials in top NATO positions and used them for its missile program after World War 2. When will the US have an honest reckoning with that?https://twitter.com/davidfrum/status/1168130708222746624 …

Thanks for clarifying. Still, a huge death toll compared to the US.

Sometime before they take the name J. Edgar Hoover off the FBI office building in Washington, DC., I expect.

West Germany never had a honest reckoning! Denazification was a joke.

And when will the U.S. have a reckoning for the most vile crime against humanity in history, the two atomic bombs used against Japan ?

Lets not forget the Gehlen Org, a Nazi intel agency, incl. Wehrmacht & SS staffers, adopted by the CIA after the war had finished and later became the foundation for the German secret service BND. Honest US reckoning is scheduled for when Xmas and Easter fall on the same day.

The victims of the US’s failure to come to terms with its past are the people of THE ENTIRE WORLD (especially people of color in the global south). We have WAY, WAY more reckoning to do than the Russians. American exceptionalism is a spiritual disease.

Is it possible Frum is as clueless as he sounds?

No. He is as craven as he sounds.

Sacrificed 27 million? Let’s be honest, a good chunk of those losses were self-inflected. Purged some of their best officers, shot their own soldiers for refusing to change into hopeless situations, etc. I’ll give you ~15M. Still a metric shitload though.

It's a history they try to forget, but they didn't cover it up well enough.pic.twitter.com/wS8hvFp5jG

Don't forget that this was the very reason for the need to build the antifaschistischer schutzwall ("The Berlin Wall", the sanitization of the history so people forget the purpose of the wall.) Nazis would commit terrorist attacks and steal goods, then run to the West for safety.

And who ran East Germany, or more accurately, the German Democratic Republic? The very communists that Hitler threw in prison, or rather the ones that survived. The constitution was written in collaboration with all the working-class. The constitution of the West was by the US+UK

The Soviet Union's armed forces were responsible for 88% of Nazi Wehrmacht's military deaths - That's nearly 9:10... & gives more reality to weight of combat in the East We are awash in

2. The same applies to fighting
#Japan - The Final Battlefield was#Manchuria where the Soviets destroyed a Japanese army of 1M in a matter of days & were threatening to invade Hokkaido when Japan surrendered - This is also forgotten!#America achieved far less than they claim! - 3 more replies
