    Xi telling Trump that China calls ww2 the “World Antifascist War” just 24 hours after Trump said he is designating antifa a terrorist organisation can’t be a coincidence from the Chinese.

      I found that to be ironic too. I think it is in reference to the military parade that China had 2 weeks ago. Trump complained that he was not invited like other country leaders.

      Okay, that’s cool. I habitually refer to it as the “Great Patriotic War” because I like using the Soviet terms for things anytime that doing so will piss off Western libs, but “World Antifascist War” is a more accurate and way cooler term.

        The two are not mutually exclusive. Great Patriotic War can just be the designation for the Soviet front of the World Antifascist War.
