Denmark’s Obsequious Treatment of Returning ISIS Fighters

Because, like you, he's trying to change well-known, well-established history, and history that is still within some people's living memory, and trying to insult my intelligence by telling me that Germany didn't start WWII. Germany is the cxountry which started BOTH world wars.
You'll find he's got two "neg reps" now, and they're well deserved.
You didn't fight the Germans in Europe from 1939 to 1945 like the British did. You only entered the war in December 1941 and didn't see proper action until 1942, when it was mainly confined to the Japanese in Asia.
That's not entirely true either. Like Petros, you don't really know your history. From 39 to 44, you ran away mostly. You started "fighting the Germans in Europe" once you had others to do most of the work.

Truth hurts though. You declared war on Germany after they invaded Poland. The Soviets invaded Poland at the same time and you did not declare war on them.
So the Germans sat on their butts... the Brits and French sat on their butts. Finally the Germans stood up, stretched and yawned... then drove your azzes into the sea and took France.
And you think you could have beaten them on your own. They whipped your army and France's army in a little over a month.
When the US did we ended up winning the war for you along side the other nations that came to your aid.
We entered in December 1941 and didn't see action until 1942. Such a dumbazz. What part of the year is December?
Nevertheless you're wrong but you do not read history.
Whereas the Japanese chased your sorry selves straight out of the Pacific and you did not return until the US had them beat.
Sure, they fired first and missed their mark by miles... The Bismark, seeing that the Hood was captained by such a useless individual, took pity and fired 3 warning shots before they sent the hood to the bottom of the ocean with one single, solitary salvo.
It's you who doesn't know your history. I've long come to the conclusion that you lot either get taught no history in your schools whatsoever or the "history" you are taught is highly inaccurate.
Britain defeated the Germans in the Battle of Britain when we were the only power taking them on. It was the FIRST major defeat of Nazi Germany.
We defeated them in North Africa.
Britain was the main player in the Battle of the Atlantic (at the time, one third of all the world's merchant shipping was British), the "longest, largest, and most complex" battle in history, which lasted throughout almost the entire war. But Britain would have won the battle a lot sooner had the US not entered the fray and somehow managed to prolong the battle.
The Royal Navy routed the Italians at the Battle of Taranto on 11th/12th November 1940. We destroyed them again at the Battle of Cape Matapan from 27th to 29th March 1941.
Operation Pedestal of August 1942, a British operation to get desperately needed supplies to the island of Malta, has gone down in military history as one of the most important British strategic victories of the Second World War.
The British-dominated Operation Torch was the invasion of French North Africa in November 1942. The Americans took part in this operation only reluctantly, because they and the Soviets favoured Operation Sledgehammer, landing in Occupied Europe as soon as possible. However, the British commanders believed that Sledgehammer would end in disaster. As it turned out, Operation Torch was a remarkable success, and everyone was thankful in the end that the British had not listened to the Yanks (Britain's decision to ignore the Americans and carry out Operation Torch rather than Operation Sledgehammer was vindicated by the Dieppe Raid of August 1942).
Operation Husky, the British-dominated invasion of Sicily, was also a success.
And don't forget the Anglo-Iraqi War of 1941, a war within a war. The campaign resulted in the re-occupation of Iraq by British armed forces and the return to power of the ousted pro-British regent of Iraq, Prince 'Abd al-llah.
That same year saw Britain's victory in the Syria-Lebanon Campaign, in which the British took Syria and Lebanon from Vichy France.
Again, before the US even entered the war, 1941 saw both the British and the Soviets successfully invading Iran, with the Soviets occupying the north and the British occupying the south.
The East Africa Campaign in the Horn of Africa between June 1940 and November 1941 was also a decisive British victory.
In July 1942, the British won the First Battle of El Alamein against Rommel's forces in Egypt. The British then decisively won the second battle in October and November 1942.
Also in North Africa, the British-dominated Tunisia Campaign from November 1942 to May 1943 was also a huge success.
From January to May 1944 the British then won the Battle of Monte Cassino.
Of course, WWII lasted for six years (unless you're American), so this is only a small example of great British victories in the conflict.
We've had this discussion before, so how soon you forget. The Anglo-Polish military alliance - which stated that either Britain or Poland would go to the other's aid should either of them be attacked by Germany - applied only to Germany. It didn't apply to the Soviet Union or anyone else, according to the first clause of the secret protocol.
And then we kicked their arses in the Battle of Britain.
WWII could have been won without the US. Many experts believe that to be the case. What makes your lot so special?
The British armed forces and the British people won WWII for Britain.
The first planned offensive action by the United States in World War II came in January 1942 when the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise attacked Japanese bases in the Marshall Islands.
America's first proper, major battle of the conflict didn't come until May 1942 and the Battle of the Coral Sea.
I'll have to repeat it again because it's obviously difficult for someone of your limited brainpower to understand. So, this time, read it slowly and carefully and make sure to finally get it: Britain was vastly overstretched in the Pacific Theatre. Unlike America, it had been seeing action since September 1939 and, unlike America, had already lost a huge amount of men and equipment. Of the men and equipment which did remain, the majority of it had to be back in Europe to fight the Germans (being an American you seem to think that WWII was almost entirely fought in the Pacific against the Japanese, but for Europeans the campaign in Europe against the Germans was, understandably, far more important). That meant that Britain was severely lacking in personnel and equipment in the Pacific Theatre. Singapore was left almost entirely undefended by the British because they were just so overstretched.
Now repeat all that back to me.
