The T-34s did not have Christie suspensions. They were just terrible for a heavy tank.

No, I don't think preserving artifacts installed by your conqueror that eventually left your country is important. If white man left North America, would the Native Americans retain statues of Winfield Scott or Andrew Jackson? I suspect they wouldn't.

You leave these things in the history books and you would keep one eye on the lookout for them to return.

In that case you’ll burn the history books as well.

You’re defending the Soviet Union. You are beneath contempt.

And you’re an idiot... and there’s no cure for that.

I’m defending history and reality. But given what you are, I don’t expect you to understand.

I take it you’re all in favor of taking down all the confederate monuments, those of slave holders, Columbus,etc. right?

After all you wouldn’t want to be seen as defending slavery and colonizers.

I didn't know that. Might have been why the Army didn't want it. But the T-34 was classified as ‘’medium tank if I recall.

You insist on equating Soviet monuments with Confederate monuments when there is no comparison.

1. CSA monuments are located in Southern states and are not symbols of occupation or conquest.

2. CSA monuments were erected by former Confederates and in some cases by Northerners as part of the reconciliation movement of the 1920’s.

3. Soviet monuments were imposed on other people by the Soviet invaders and occupiers.

4. Soviet monuments are symbols of Soviet invasion and conquest.

5. Soviet monuments are pervasive reminders of atrocities not just committed but fondly remembered by Russian scumbags as symbols of Russian ‘greatness’.

6. Ultimately Soviet monuments were imposed on sovereign countries that have every right in the world to remove them.

7. The Soviets had no qualms about removing Nazi monuments, obliterating Nazi and Nazi allied war cemetaries, obliterating Nazi war graves, etc.

Please do not equate CSA monuments with monuments to Soviet murderers, conquerors, and rapists. There is no comparison.

Some people have no self control or sense of proportion. I don’t happen to be one of those. Maybe you can arrange for those monuments to be shipped to your home.

“Check out his blog. It reads like fedposting.”

Don’t forget to check out my FR homepage. Can’t imagine why Jon wouldn’t want you to see it.

Since you are a pathological liar, Toilet Man, Mr. Preston is the opposite of what you claim he is.

If Jon isn’t a liar then he can publish this ‘thoroughly documented’ evidence he says he has about me. He says he has it and he said he’d publish it.

If he’s not a liar then let him make good on his threats.

You’re supposed to push the anti-Putin agenda, not the anti-Preston agenda. You’re taking your eye off the ball, Sorosbot.

This thread is deader than Kelsy's nuts. I prefer to embarass the General on new threads
