    Yes let everyone, despite everything else going on at the time, pause in the moment to recall the finer points of WW2 geopolitics because everyone obviously has all those facts at the forefront of their mind at all times.

    List of people who clapped: literally everyone.

    I watched at home and didn’t clue in and I didn’t have cameras pointing at me documenting an internationally significant diplomatic event.

    This is not the own you think it is.

      Bruv, bruv, this is the bare minimum, I swear. If you cannot recall that WWII was Nazi Germany vs the Soviet Union, you aren’t prepared enough to have opinions on the modern conflict or any aspect of geopolitics. This isn’t the finer points.

      Mhm.

        I don’t think you’re arguing in good faith. There were more countries involved in WW2 than Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union but, as I said, I’m not an expert and I don’t expect people to be.

        It was a mistake on the part of the speaker, he owned it, and then the government apologized. Case closed. Don’t be a partisan hack.
