Portugal and fascism.

[Mr Gray]

Yeah I read Martina's post; my interpretation of it was in the context of what was being written the posters meaning was Portugal was not part of The Axis. Obviously you are entitled to interpret the post differently. You are not however the sole arbiter of what other posters mean and your decision is not final. In strict terms Portugal was fascist as are/were a lot of countries which could not bracketed in with the Second World War Axis.
You are flogging a dead horse chap.

This is martinas post..Now you show a massive ignorance. Portugal, though ruled for years by a dictator, was never a fascist country, I don't know, maybe you confuse it with Spain. During the Second World War Portugal was neutral and opened it's aerial bases to the Allies. Learn before you speak.

So when martina says "Portugal was never a fascist country" I am wrong to believe she means Portugal was never a fascist country....

I cant believe you posted that..pathetic...absolutely pathetic

[Mr Gray]

Yet you live in France that actually actively helped Nazis to kill Jews. Hmmm...  >@@(*&)

It seems WS thinks it would have been better if the Nazis had won the war and we could have had more concentration camps... I'M surprised you are not offended by that..

[Martina]

Don't be ridiculous.  It was nearly seventy years ago. 

And when did Portugal deny safety for the Jews? Not seventy years by chance? Smells like the good ole' double standards.

So I think we are clear..Portugal was fascist

I think we can safely say that.

The United States denied the asylum for the Jews fleeing Germany in 1939. were they fascist too?

Oh, good.  However, America ain't looking pristine at the moment.

It was the US that supplied the soldiers to help liberate the concentration camps..Portugal was a fascist country...everybody is agreed except you

[Mr Gray]

So you are the first to fling the insults then calling me or my post whichever pathetic.
Par for the course.

no not the first ..read back...I don't know why you make a post such as the one you did,,,martina clearly said Portugal was not fascist...she is wrong...why cant you just admit it...that's what makes your post pathetic...fair comment in my book

[Eleanor]

Has this actually got anything to do with being pathetic?  Portugal was Fascist.  And still is in some quarters.

Strangely, we have the Japanese to thank for our freedom here in Europe.

The US had no intention of entering WWII and as Europe had fallen, the UK was next.  We could not stop the Nazis so it was inevitable what our fate was going to be.  Then the smart Japanese decided to kick butt and attacked Pearl Harbour in Hawaii. The US was forced to enter the war and the rest as they say is history.

Except for one thing.  The UK was hugely in debt to the US for all the armaments which the Americans had supplied so in order to pay off the debt we had to hand over the odd tropical island as part payment. Diego Garcia had been a British possession until 1966, when London allowed the U.S. to use it as a military base in exchange for cancelling a $14-million British debt for a military hardware purchase. 

IIRC it is only in recent times that the debt has been repaid.

I would rather not discuss America with regard to World War 11.

But I would like to sincerely thank the American men, black and white, who went to war on our behalf.  Some of them did this before America got it's butt kicked.
