I wonder how few people immediately know the reference.
Using that scoring system, what was the result of Vietnam?
or for that matter every conflict since WWII that see’s the US’ relative might vs the world greater than ever at this moment.
Yup! 8,000 tanks; 13,000 aircraft;
250,000 four and six wheel transport vehicles, 100 octane gas, 3,000 locomotives. There is even a monument in Russia to the Studebaker Corporation.
‘Meh’, more boring chest thumping from the Russians, give them another quart of vodka, they’ll pass right out in a few minutes.
You think the next guy is going to be some Scalawag traitor and sellout like Yeltsin ?
Who scooped up the Kuriles after literally fighting Japan for a day after losing most of their fleet to Japan 40 years prior?
I don’t know what Russia will do next. I hope they begin to take care of their own instead of trying to create an empire.
Pooty’s priorities are askew and harmful. Russia needs new leadership.
The Ukraine war is not 10,000 miles away like Vietnam, or Afghanistan or Iraq.
It is right there. On their border.
Oh yeah, well I have two words for you, Russkis, “Lend Lease.”
I'd still have to bum rides off of people.
Only because Germany declared war on the US after we had declared war on Japan. That occurred after Japan had attacked our Naval Base Pearl harbor on Oahu on Dec. 7th, 1941.
Using that scoring system, what was the result of Vietnam?
But don’t misunderstand my original comment. Russia ended World War II much stronger and influential on the world stage than it was before the war, as was the U.S.
Russia paid for that with the blood of 10s of millions of deaths and the destruction of the western part of the nation. It’s interesting that the USSR was fine with Germany’s expansion and aggression and with the UK fighting Germany alone—until Hitler invaded them. They were never our ‘friend’; we were just fighting a common enemy.
The USSR that was bankrupted by the subsequent arms race was stro9nger?
I didn’t misunderstand your reply. I merely patched onto your chosen scoring system.
What I do not understand is given 80yrs of nothing but losing wars and failed foreign policy how the US’ might is arguably greater than ever.

“What I do not understand is given 80yrs of nothing but losing wars and failed foreign policy how the US’ might is arguably greater than ever.”
I don’t get that either. In fact I don’t see American might greater than ever. Consider, a non-state, the Houthis, are effectively blocking a major world trade route and we appear to be unable or unwilling to stop them. The alleged leader of the Free World says ‘Don’t!’ and is ignored.
In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled (VIDEO) Russian state TV claims the West lost WWII, ClearCase_guy wrote: Japan and Germany lost the war.
But I think the Nazis won. It wasn’t super obvious in, say, 1947 — but the progression from then to now is pretty blatant. We are in a fascist society. The political ideology of fascism has triumphed over both capitalism and communism. But since we carefully do not teach people what fascism looks like, most people don’t realize the nature of their own society.
I don't believe the 'N' in the abbrevition NWO really refers to 'New' World Order.

“The Associated Press news agency entered a formal cooperation with the Hitler regime in the 1930s, supplying American newspapers with material directly produced and selected by the NAZI propaganda ministry, archive material unearthed by a German historian has revealed.”
“To that extent it is fair to say that these pictures played their part in disguising the true character of the war led by the Germans.”ransomnote: I think the AP wasn't the only one "supplying American newspapers with material directly produced and seleted by the Nazi propaganda ministry....

Exactly. It is putin’s war.
pooty attcked Ukraine in Feb 2023. Putin’s war against Ukraine is in its 2nd year now.
He’s blowing it. He’s turning russia into a pariah nation.
Neither allied combatant wins without the other. Example. RAF loses Battle of Britain. Churchill’s successor sues for peace. There is no way USSR emerges victorious against a Germany with no other fronts to fear. Especially without the supplies of Lend Lease.
