The real world.
For something like 150 years, Canadians have been fighting other people's wars. Recently,(since 1949) Canadians have been fighting American wars. (The worst bout was 12 years killing Afghans to make Americans happy. The war really had nothing to do with Canada. That sort of thing is why I am often critical of the Canadian Legion for it's eagerness to send Canadian wars that have nothing to do with us.)
Anyway, this really began back in the 1890s. At that time, the British were busy killing South Africans so that the British wealthy could steal South African gold mines. This was a war that had nothing to do with Canadians - this was pure and simple murder on the British side. The only reason Canadians came under British pressure to join in the war only to set up Canadians for a bigger war that had nothing to do with them.
In the 1890s, Britain was rather like the Americans of our time. It's capitalists were a world power due to Britain's development of industrial growth. (Mind you, the average Englishman got nothing out of this British capitalists were bleeding their own people into their own unspeakably cheap, even starvation, salaries.In this, it was very much like the U.S. capitalists of our time - and very much like Canadian capitalists today. Check out New Brunswick for an example.
But others were copying British big business to develop their own economies.That was desperately true of Germany. And the British capitalists were not amused. That is why the British asked for Canadian troops in the South African war. It was a setup for a British war against Germany to destroy it's industrial growth.
And it worked. Canadians got all excited and felt honoured. And they died in dreadful numbers. But British billionaires were pleased. They had dragged in much of the empire to murder Germans for them.
British billionaires went a step further at the end of the war. In the peace treaty after the war everybody had agreed that no country was responsible for the war. But the British broke that agreement and sent British troops into Germany. Their purpose was to destroy Germany so it would never again compete with British capitalists. German money became worthless. All of Germany was drawn into a savage poverty.
Drawn into this was a German war veteran, Adolph Hitler. But he was still a nobody, just fresh out of jail, and with no following. But that would change soon.
After a couple of years, Hitler would take advantage of the German mood. Crowds began to listen to him, and the WWI private speedily rose to be the fuehrer. The finishing touch was his steering hatred toward the Jews. By the early 1920s, Hitler was the master of Germany.
None of all that needed to happen. It was British capitalists and their greed (along with a hatred of all Jews) that made the rise of Hitler possible. And that hatred was not limited to Naziis. Almost every country in the world hated Jews. (That includes Canada and Britain and the U.S.) That's why Jews coudn't escape before the war - or, for some time, after the war. That's why Jews were given their own country of Israel - to get rid of them.
It might have been possible for the allies to save some of the Jews in the death camps. We didn't know about them, but our leaders did. And they didn't give a damn. That was one reason why Americans didn't care about the Jews.
They didn't care about Hitler, either. What they cared about was China. China had been a horribly plundered country by the British; now it was under attack by Japan. The U.S. didn't give a damn about the people of China - except that it wanted it to be plundered by American capitalists as it had been plundered by British capitalists. That's why the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbour - to cripple U.S. billionaires in their desire to plunder China. Japan wanted to plunder China.
The U.S. didn't enter World War 2 in the west until a little later. It was not because Britain was suffering. It was because American capitalists saw the chance to plunder British conquests, especially in Africa. That still goes on today with former British conquests such as middle east oil fields.
At the end of WW2, U.S. capitalists had stolen most of Britain conquests - Helped by the people of India who had been robbed blind by the British.
When the war ended, I was in grade six in our classrooms with British flags.
But those days were gone forever. And it soon was that we had a Canadian flag. Alas! we were (and are still) a colony, but not a colony that fights wars for our British ancestors. No. We're American puppets now. (We, and our Canadian Legion, now fight and murder for American capitalist in .) That's why Canadians killed in Korea in 1949. We did even more for our capitalists who really rubbed the asses of Canadian and American billionaires with our twelve years of our failed war in Afghanistan.
Canadians, as a whole, were dumb enough to hail what we did in that. We praised the dead for dying. Hell....there's nothing courageous about dying. We sent them to kiss American asses. And the Canadian Legion got all proud - because we were throwing our dead to make Canadian and American billionaires happy.
Canada is now a partner with Canadian and American billionaires - in locations all over the world - Eastern Europe on the Russia border, Syria, and other places American and Canadian billionaires like to send them.
Don't kid yourself. The Canadian Legion approves the sending of troops to please billionaires. There is nothing good about that. And don't expect any information from your newspapers. Our newspapers are, and always have been, liars. So is our TV. I was on radio and tv every day for thirty years. I always tried to tell the truth - but there were times it was cut.
(That even happened with CBC once.)
