Actually, no, that's exactly what it was designed for. It forced the Germans to enter through the Low Countries, giving France a heads up. It also meant the Germans would be funneled into a relatively smaller area. The Tiger Kingdom actually made an excellent post about the subject a few months back.

Tbh that was the intention of the British and French. They just didn't expect German tanks to also be lumberjacks. That wasn't so okay.

Listening to the stream of this, decided that I could spend my time in a better manner, as opposed to listening to mumbo-jumbo about "god, patriots, muh freedoms, thuh courts, and the bible." Poor souls.

Seriously, how delusional does someone have to be to believe God will somehow save them from their own stupidity?! Personal responsibility is a thing, even in Christianity.

That's pretty much it. No one thought that tank corps would be able to traverse the Ardennes successfully without being discovered. Germany just went "lol yolo goy"

Actually, the French had superior tanks. I recall one French tank taking something like 140 direct hits, and still managed to take out 14 German tanks. It was really just a collapse of the French leadership's will to fight (the average French soldier was a very competent fighter), and the fact that Churchill believed the French when they called him up, weeping that the war was over, after they'd only lost one battle (actually, the call happened the very night of the battle), and they'd won several others on that day. But again, we're getting off topic.

Without a trace of irony they listed out a whole list of things that described themselves as the definition of militants and then promptly said they weren't militants. A+

Okay, they just read the Webster defn. of militant - " having or showing a desire or willingness to use strong, extreme, and sometimes forceful methods to achieve something" and shouted they were not militants by that definition.

What part of "if the cops try to remove/arrest us, we will resist with all necessary force, including our openly brandished guns" is not "strong, extreme, and sometimes forceful methods?"
