The North Koreans have still got the USS Pueblo, which they took 40 years later.

Don’t hold your breath.

One armored vehicle for each Humvee. If we could.

Let the Ruskies keep ‘em.

They’ll go broke buying fuel and tires.

During World War II, the Russians kept some American B-29’s that had emergency landed in Russia. Saved them a lot of time and money in R & D. Thieving communists. Nothing new.

The Royal Navy loaned the Soviet Union the battleship HMS Royal Sovereign in 1944 and when the Reds returned it in 1949, each and every gun was loaded and cocked, plus there was human excrement spread all over the decks and bulkheads.

Russian will always be Russians and don't expect the Hummers back in any kind of decent condition if at all!

Yes they do and they turned it into a museum.

The Chinese still have our EP-3 they rammed and forced to land in the 2001.

Makes for an interesting game - look at the Russian airplane, decide what American airplane it was copied from.

Re: FDR did nothing.

Correctomundo, pilgrim... FDR was dead and buried better than two years when the Tupolev Tu-4 first flew on 19 May 1947.

The Serbs didn't give back the Humvee that they captured back in 1999. To the Russians it is simply spoils of conflict.

U.S. Army Humvee in Serb Museum.
