    Them: “so what should they have done?”

    You: “Well I’ll tell you what they shouldn’t have done!”

    So, in short, you can’t actually answer the question.

      I’m not sure if you’re being purposefully obtuse or joking but deciding not to do something is an act in itself. You asked what they should have done, they should’ve decided against pact with Nazi Germany. That’s the start. Then prepare for all that entails.

      We know they chose to make a pact with the Nazis and to divide Poland, they chose to invade the parts the Nazis left to them, they decided on all of these actions. They weren’t some inevitable laws of nature bound to happen and impossible to avoid

      “I shot a man, what should I have done?”

      “Well not shoot him”

      “yOu haVen’T anSweRed thE quEstion”

          Their instance hints it’s rather a defence mechanism against the moral ramifications of making a deal with Nazis. It’s not an unfamiliar thing to me, I’ve seen it a lot

              I have no idea what this even means. Too many big words or what

                Sorry, I’ll try to put it more clear for you: You write like a teenager who thinks overwriting lazy insults with lots of purple prose that you picked up from Japanese children’s cartoons makes them something more than just lazy insults.

                  I’m not a native speaker, I’m just writing how we’ve been taught to write in school. If that comes off as “purple prose” or anime, then not sure what to tell you. Miyazaki wasn’t a big part of our school curriculum.

      Haha, what a crazy way of thinking.

      “Don’t eat your own shit!”

      “Well, what should I do instead?! 😕”
