Given events in the West Stalin offers a ceasfire to Tojo and agrees to move forces back within original borders in the East. No further hostilities possible until 1945. What say Tojo?

I've been most impressed and very entertained by these type of AI generated "historical" memes.

I do have a request; but only if (1) you're willing, (2) have the time and (3) aren't violating any sort of NDA or licensing agreement ...

In a separate thread would it be possible for you to make a "quick" tutorial on how you generate such memes & what tool(s) you're using?

Germany makes three, automatic, attacks in the East. Defensive support makes nothing so I skip that.
