As for Nixon, if China and the USSR didn't have their fallout, he wouldn't have done anything. It just means he believed in the saying that goes "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" if nothing else.

Yeah I mean it's not like the Soviet Union funded communist insurgencies the world over. It's not like China invaded any of their neighboring countries like say India or Vietnam or conquered Tibet.

Yes, war would've broken out, but Germany didn't have all the territory it later acquired through appeasement. It broke the Versailles treaty and the French should have retaliated. It would've meant war, but it likely would not have lasted long enough to escalate into a world war. But by the time Germans were granted the Rhineland, which would eventually give them free access into France, it was already too late.

Germany didn't have all that territory during WWI either. That war lasted four years and resulted in more than 15 million deaths. The Germans also didn't invade France through the Rhineland. The main invasion crossed the low countries just like in WWI. France and Britain were not about to risk starting another war a mere 2 decades later over that. They were also not prepared for war yet either. Not to mention you're blaming France and Britain for starting WWII because they refused to start the war earlier. Surely you can see the flaw in that logic.

That's only if you want to believe Al Quaeda really was behind 9/11, and the impossibility that planes crashing at the top floors of the towers caused them to collapse from the bottom. Yes, I am a truther, because I like the truth.

That should debunk most of the idiocy. For the rest, consider this:
