Did anyone actually win world war 2?

Ask a stupid question...

I'll bite, Why exactly are we no longer talking about the actual subject matter of the topic and instead veering off to one irrelevant thing after another?

Last I saw it said "Did anyone actually win world war 2?" and not pie in the sky notions of WW3 and or other such irrelevant things?

In short: from an analytic point of view, the winners were the ones who flourished and endured after the war.

I guess it turned out to be a conversation on whether we learned anything from WW2. So then came the prediction of WW3 and now I guess we're talking about the social context of war in a modern society. I think the US won WW2, as did Germany because they got rid of Hitler, even if the price was monolithic.

thats the question , did we really learn anything , yes , we learned many things , like how to destroy an entire city in one strike , on how to eliminate thousands and call it rightous, we learned a lot of things , but not our lesson :\

[Seeme]

We also learned the Nazis are bad.

not true , the Nazi party was actually the German Workers party which equaled good until hitler came , now Nazi means something entirely different nowadays , but it is still popular even in the US.

And I'm presuming this proposed "lesson" that I keep hearing is the supposed pipe dream of world peace and utopia where lions lay down with sheep..

Despite what some severly deluded left extermist or new age hippy may tell you its not going to happen in a world that is based in competitiion and survival, war is part of the equation of life

This is just something people need to understand and come to terms with and is not a new discovery only the dead have seen the end of wars as Plato once said..

Even though I disagree with allot he taught but he was ahead of his time in regards to this.

Hitler come in the nazi party almost immediatly after its creation,  so it remain bad ^^"

I really just did that post to see how you would all react.

@Soverein , just because I said we din't learn the lesson doesn't mean it was supposed to be your scenario , I realise War is natural , it is almost needed , what I meant is we didn't learn our lesson of starting wars over pointless things. there are stories about an entire battalion of soldiers in Iraq who all gave different answers as to why they are there.

The world lost a whole generation because of the WW's, I'm not saying that waging war on Hitler was wrong , it was why Hitler rose to power in the first place that was wrong.
