What do the pictured countries have in common? They were cowards who refused to help fight Hitler.
Please explain yourselves.

We were neutral on behalf of the people.
>To help fight Hitler
Hitler wanted to conquest Switzerland but he never tried. Pussy lmao. But we helped him by denying access to jews and by keeping his gold in our banks. Kek I wonder where that gold is now ;)
What do people who think the second world war has any relevance today have in common?
They're fucktards!
And spain
What would they gain from doing that? They got on just fine staying neutral.
portugal and spain were both supportive of facism but valued their survival so they didnt participate
Spain wasn't included because they were outright pro-Axis.
ideologically yes
in reality spain was destroyed by the civil war and didnt have any plans to participate, wich they made clear with the british diplomats over and over again
its also probably due to bribes by british spies, but to a minor degree.
Stalin tried unsuccessfully to get Churchill and Roosevelt to invade Spain and overthrow Franco. Soviet resistance kept Spain out of the UN for a decade following the war.
>Stalin tried unsuccessfully to get Churchill and Roosevelt to invade Spain and overthrow Franco
Why was Stalin so based
But we were too
>enter the war
>"hey turkey, my ally, can you let my troops into your borders in order to defend you from the axis thanks"
>actually get "liberated of bourgeoisie" by the soviets
>People's Socialist Republic of Turkey
It would have been ugly anyway to attempt it. The Spanish army was battle-hardened and the terrain quite rugged.
Wrong. Both Portugal and Spain sent a division of volunteers to aid Hitler in WW2. Look up Blue Division.
>"his" gold
>gold is now
returned to its previous owners?
Also did you know the republican government gave Spain's gold to the Soviets for safekeeping in 1936? It was never seen or heard from again.
now its "our" gold
Yeah after taking "our" part kek
Agreed.
Neutral-fags are just terrible, subhuman trash!
And lo-behold, after WW2, these same faggot were begging for military protection and money from the Allies.
FUCK YOU, SWITZERLAND, SWEDEN, PORTUGAL, IRELAND AND TURKEY. Y'ALL SHOULD BE NUKED.
The Swiss have never returned anything of the gold that was stolen from the Dutch central bank by Nazi's during WWII. I don't know about others.
Oh nO!! what a tragedy :(
The Dutch government has still a great distrust to Switzerland. It's basically the reason why our remaining gold reserve is largely in London and New York nowadays. We had one of the largest gold reserves in the world before WWII and now among the smallest in Europe.
more like neutered
Turkey was poor and suffered massive population loss in WWI; they were still recovering from it. For years the government gave tax incentives to any couple who produced at least three children. Entering the war on either side would have been suicide.
Portugal was poor and had nothing to offer from a military POV.
Ireland was poor and had no army worth anything. Entering the war on the side of Britain was distasteful, entering the war on the side of Germany was suicide.
The other two were just dicks who helped out Germany under the table and got rich off the war.
In 1943, Sweden received nearly all of Denmark's 8,000 Jews. With the dissolution of the Danish government in the summer of 1943, the German authorities had decided to deport Denmark's Jewish population to concentration camps. However, the Danes successfully ferried all but 450 of the Jews across the straits between Copenhagen and the Swedish mainland, across waters that were patrolled by German Schnellboots, in an unprecedented rescue effort. Once in Sweden, the Danish Jews were granted asylum and taken in by Swedish families. Many stayed in Sweden after the war. Sweden also received refugees from Finland and Norway, including some of Norway's Jews. All this, as well as the protection of Sweden's own Jewish population, was made possible by Sweden's neutrality. A daily newspaper in Sweden, the Svenska Dagbladet said that Sweden did more to assist and save Jews than any other country.
>The other two were just dicks who helped out Germany under the table and got rich off the war.
Wish I had that screencapped post from the Norwegian user who said that Sweden allowed the Wehrmacht to use their railways during Operation Weserübung.
I can understand It
Turkey was still in shambles after the chaos of WW1 and had no real incentive to fight
Portugal was just too distant from the areas hitler wanted direct control over
Ireland hates Britain and obviously didnt want to ally with their bully for 1000 years
Sweden hadnt been in an active war for like 100+ years at the time and wanted to stay neutral for the people
Switzerland i have no fucking idea how they stayed neutral
shut the fuck up pussy
>Ireland hates Britain and obviously didnt want to ally with their bully for 1000 years
And that they were Africa-tier poor until the 1960s.
The Swiss shot down planes from either side who entered their airspace. There was one famous instance of a US airman who was shot down and held in a prison managed by a Nazi sadist. The poor fucker was brutalized and anally raped while in captivity.
Come on. The difference in power even between UK and Spain was ridiculously huge, also bongs were fighting for so long they were way more experienced than despacitos... Im not even talking about USSR or US.
They could have been wiped out easily. Its just US that wanted anti communist regime in Europe, despite its being fascist.
>dude just throw a bunch of bodies at this thing to make no appreciable difference
lol wtf
these 2 are basically the same one
how? we have basically no turks in comparison to most other european countries like Germany, Belgium, UK, Netherlands, France, etc
We actually sold most of our gold because the EU now has a say about the gold reserves of countries. So we got rid of our stash before the EU integrated further.
doesn't have to be turks exacly, both are full of shitskins
you have more muslims than any other Euro country, even France has less than you
ikr

wow Russia is so based :)
woah no way, russia is turkic khanate? new
russia belongs to the Rurikoids
they ded
>They could have been wiped out easily
just like they were wiped out in Krasny Bor amirite
We were cowards who refused to join the German empire.
Irony
we also had the independence war right after ww1 which was no joke as well. rulers of turkey at the time were the army officers and politicians who fought in first balkan wars, then ww1 then indepence war. they didnt want another war for their people. turkey was still getting ready for a war if it was inevitable, mobilizing population, storing food and ammo in silos and other places etc.
president of turkey ismet inönü at the time after ww2 said "sure i may have caused you to starve, but i also kept your fathers alive".
i'm late but this post is absolutely fucking based
Ta gueule.
Only sorry that we didn't help kill more *nglos, *ussians and amerimutts
Portugal got their shit slapped really hard by the Germs in WWI, plus Spain would have probably pressured them to stay the fuck away from WWII in order to not bring trouble to the Iberian peninsula.
That's because you didn't steal the gold idiot. IT was SOLD to you in return for swiss francs so the germans could buy steel from Sweden. No shit it's not going to be RETURNED. The Swiss paid a fair price for that gold. If they dutch want their gold back they can
1/ pay for it
2/ not get conquered.
>An Albanian that doesn't know Swiss history
Hitler's plan was to absorb the swiss-german side and discord the romande and italian portion. Why would the CH based of the principle of Eidgenossenschaft accept this. Cowardice would have been submitting to Germany. You are a literal cuck or a albanian. No alternative.
yeah dude its not like the second world war shaped western society as we know it
Why is Italy allowed to hold a gold reserve that's 4 times bigger than ours then?
went sent condolences to germany when hitler died. why would we have been enemies to germany?
>Russia is a mutt country full of muslims, turks, gypsies and other non-whites
It's official, Russia is no longer even slavic
wlagh
neutral i.e. complicit and tolerant of nazis
I don't care
