Don’t be confused FRiend. There’s nothing conservative about being a racist. Nothing at all.
The Russians are not Asiatic, they’re Europeans

Only the ones in the Moscow St Petersburg are - the rest are Asiatics. Its a very big country.
That is certain
What Patton is saying in that quote is that Slavs are sub-human. Something that would have come as a surprise to every American soldier of Slavic descent.
And now, America’s domestic enemies cry Russia Russia Russia and it just doesn’t hit like it used to..

My father was also in Patton’s 3rd Army.
Parton spoke the truth on a lot of things. No wonder they had to make sure he was taken out and silenced for good after the war.
Should have taken care of Russia in 1945.
Would have been easy and better for Russian people.
Well said.
Good point.
boy. did you even live through the Cold War? you couldn’t be more wrong. for example, the USSR was an amalgam of all types of ethnics.
Patton's chief of staff Major General Hobart Gay had invited Patton to go on a pheasant hunting trip on the 9th of December 1945 near Speyer, Germany to lift Patton's spirits.
As they were driving along, Patton noticed derelict cars abandoned along the side of the road and remarked how awful war is and of its waste. The 1938 Cadillac limousine collided with an American army truck. All the other passengers in the car were were only slightly injured. However Patton had hit his head on the glass partition that separated the front and back seats. Besides having a gash in his head, he complained that he was paralyzed and having trouble breathing. He was taken to a hospital in Heidelberg where he was found to have a broken neck that rendered him paralyzed from the neck down.
Patton died in his sleep about 6:00 p.m. on December 21st, 1945 at the age of 60. The cause of death was fluid buildup in his lungs coupled with a heart attack.
He was buried in Luxembourg alongside oh some of his mean as he requested. Probably was the best way for him to go, after having survived the war itself, considering how his remaining days would have been lived had he survived the crash too, because he would not have been happy on a paralyzed state I believe. On 24 December, Patton was buried at the Luxembourg American Cemetery and Memorial in the Hamm district of Luxembourg City, alongside some wartime casualties of the Third Army, in accordance with his request to be buried with his men. He was initially buried in the middle of a plot like every other service member, but the large number of visitors to his grave damaged the cemetery grounds, so his remains were moved to their current location at the front of the grave plots.
He was right. You may not like it, but he was right, generally speaking. And, he was well read and at least as educated than you, maybe more so.
He isn’t talking about the individual or the race [Russians for example look pretty much the same as Patton] so much as the culture, the attitude.
Most importantly, he was very, very good at being a general, though not good at being a politician. He understood how to lead men.
Unlike today’s politically correct, self-censored, overtheshoulder glancing and pandering little twits, he could not only lead men into hell, he could suffer alongside them, and motivate them to go on, he could inspire them to want to be in army.
If we had today’s PC attitudes then, we would be speaking German, because not one of the generals and admirals who helped us win WW2 would have met our emotion-based standards of perfection.
Yes, and implemented the Morgenthau Plan.
Yes…I lived and served during the Cold War. You’re not smart if you think the difference between the US and Soviet Union was ethnic. It was ideological
shaadup woman
lol. ok, mr. smartypants. keep on shoving words in other people’s mouths.
‘the difference between the US and the Soviet Union...’
complex: biblical/religious, governmental, economic, cultural, colonial, geographic, entrepreneurial,..., and so on and so on. and yes we have our creed as well and some of us (maybe a third) are bound by it. but America is a lot more than it’s founding documents.
RR summed it up best when he said the USSR is an ‘evil empire.’
