"What I disputed is your absurd assertions that there were no ethnic Russians or Russian Federation inhabitants who were "collectivized" exiled and perished en route or died at the point of destinations (often in GULAG's) around the time of Ukrainian Famine. "

This thread is a bashing of the Russians new saber rattling which comes on the heels of their renewed Imperialism.

As such , I have bashed the Russians for committing unprecedented genocide qith the Chinese as their agents- to the tune of 100 million.

The fact that several million Russians perished in this holocaust is irrelevent to assigning the blame on the Russians.

What part of this don't you understand ?

"I haven't the slightest interest in a thai stick, nor does that have anything in the slightest to do with my service."

"Thai stick" is known by every Nam vet - even Kerry!


Did it ever occur to you that I was with a class of warriors who were more interesting in fighting than using drugs? I can prove I was a sneakypete and in Nam. You can't even call yourself an American. Who in the hell are you to question my service? Quanotto and yourself are potato couch warriors.

Gary, with all due respect, but HOW are you going to prove it by internet?

Spanalot, do you have any idea how is he going to do that?

This whole discussion about credentials is ridiculous.

So, Papa Smurf, I see that you are back to the old MO, throwing fits when when you don't like it and mentioning again the vet status. Why would Spanalot not be an American? Under the same logic, your Russian bride is not either. And as far as me being a couch potato, I already gave you my military MOS and you have yet to do so. I think we had enough retorts of grandeur from your side, your insipid and unrealistic replies are getting pitiful by the moment. You see, training received at Fort Bragg stays with a person for life, if the person, indeed, has received such training. You proved time after time that you failed even basic PsyOps, DA and UW :) In other words, (re)actions speak louder than words.

"Class of warrior"? Doesn't sound like SF talk. Are you sure you weren't a Marine or Ranger and you can't divulge your true identity?

Quinotto, I have been insulted by pros, and your rhetoric and pettifogging is ineffective. Insults are a reflection of your own lack of self esteem. BTW, your MOS means nothing to me.

That said, the issue is not my service or your lack of it, but your baldfaced lie that all Russians are communists. That is not only an evil and racist lie, but a reflection of a black heart.

"The fact that several million Russians perished in this holocaust is irrelevent to assigning the blame on the Russians. "

No it's relevant. Previously you didn't even acknowledged that there were many Russian victims of Communist terror saying that 'every surviving Russian benefited' from Communism till you were shown the facts. It's relevant for Russia too to know that Communist system and its adherents murdered and destroyed Russia too.

It's also important to make a distinction between "several million" (actually much more than several million over decades of Lenin-Stalin Terror ) of those ordinary Russians who perished from the Russian/Soviet communist system and Russian/Soviet Communist authorities who executed the murder.

"This thread is a bashing of the Russians new saber rattling which comes on the heels of their renewed Imperialism. "

Putin regime is loathsome and the fact that still most of Russians (including children and grandchildren of Communist Terror victims or even survivors of Stalin Terror themselves) still harbor false illusions of great and powerful Russia/USSR under Lenin-Stalin is disheartening. This is an issue worth a separate discussion. However, its not a justification to dismiss, deny or downplay the many Russian victims of Communism. Got it ?

Asking for your MOS is not pettifogging. The more so that you started this whole discussion about credentials.

your baldfaced lie that all Russians are communists.

Who said so? When, where? Don't throw dust in the eyes, but do prove your credentials at last.

I guess Gary went crying to the Moderator and had my reply removed. That proved my case completely, I don't remember any of us going whining to mom and pop when he became so personal but then that's Gary and all his... Special Forces training. That doesn't take it from the fact that to the day he has yet to provide us with HIS MOS.

Yup. We'll be waiting forever. He's gone and won't be back. at least on this thread. He went to look for some other patsies to intimidate them with his "credentials".

Okay, you will see my credentials proving I am Special Forces. That said, I would not expect an apology from someone like yourself, since you are not the type who would ever admit you are wrong.

See Post number 516 & 517. You are not man or woman enough to admit when you are wrong.

I am NOT going to get dragged into this, I already specified my reasons to you. The only thing which has value and credibility to me is a DD214 but, as I told you before, I think we have more things in common than we have differences and dragging this further makes no sense. I am really done with this craziness.

I know you will only accept a DD-214, and not accept an old high school buddy's word, General Dick Myers.
