You don't mean this.
After the Allies landed at Normandy, just 15% of the Wehrmacht was committed to the Western Front; everything else was in the East, fighting the advancing Russians.
It is sad.
That is false.
The Second world war STARTED with the Russians being allies of Nazi Germany, and together the Russians and Germans invaded Poland.
The Russianwere allies of Nazi Germany for 2 years supplying Hitler with the oil and gas his war machine needed to invade western Europe.
In 1944, in the east what happened was that one tyrant - Nazi Germany- was defeated by another tyrant, Soviet Russia. For people east of the iron wall, world war two ended onky in 1990 when the Russian yoke was removed
Muscowy has been invaded 4 times:
1200s by the Mongols who ruled it for 300 years
1610 by the Poles and the Polish king was briefly crowned Tsar
1812 by Napoleon
1941 by their erstwhile ally, Nazi Germany
That means they worship war, right?
Read my first comment on this, in post #2 above
“I don’t know any American who can identify the day May 9, the anniversary of Nazi Germany’s surrender, but in Russia it is the most important holiday of the year”
Given what the Nazis had planned for the Soviet peoples I don’t have a problem with them making it a big deal.
The Nazis were Russia’s allies for the first two years of the war.
Do you know that Russia started the wat as an ally of the Nazis and they were allies for the first two years of the war?
Did you know that Russia was losing in 1942 until American weapons helped the russians turn the tide?
Russia is still a nation of serfs and peasants.
The current version of the nobility covets the USSR and longs to recreate it. The nobility fears Europe. Ukraine must be taken to provide a buffer to allow time to repel the coming European armies.
I think you mean the P-39 Airacobra, not the P-40.
Yes. Thanks!
Until very recently, Japanese and Chinese culture were based on the structure of feudalism and warfare.
I guess you live up north.
America had nothing to do with it.
My post #55 was in reply to a post by Secon-Econ, post #30. Secon-Econ said “since WWII.” So, I limited myself to war since WWII.
For the most part, online activists who malign Putin are followers of Saul Alinsky who think it might advance their low IQ agenda.
Alinsky, in his mentally deficient teachings, induced his followers to personalize their politics. He felt a need to fabricate something—anything—to advance his low IQ belief system since it has nothing of substance in its own right.
