Russian troops gathering near Kabul: Moscow Weekly

I have no reason to doubt this. Hell, the Germans sent a whole division of "volunteers" to Finland in the '38 Winter War. Luckly for the mercenaries, they came equiped with Mark Is & IIs and Stuka dive bombers...damn those arms shows. :0)

To say you are a cold war relic is an obviousl statement. Welcome to the 21st centuary, and the Afghans you supported the training of are your enemies...but then again, history has already passed people like you on by and you mean little in the larger sense of geopolitics with each passing day. My children will read about your type in their history books and wonder how anyone could have been so blind for so long, even when faced with the obvious. Then I'll explain how your type always dreamed of the Soviet invasion so you would have a chance to play Rambo or Wolvarine.

Lib, it took the Mujas 10 years to kill 15,000 USSR troops and only after billions of dollars was sent the Mujas way. The Red Army killed a million plus Afghanis by the time they left in return for those 15 thousand.

You think Bush is going to give the Mujas billion$ and stingers now?

The russians are apparently fighting on our side in this war. We're using their land as a staging point. They are actually contributing troops to our efforts. The Chinese are helping the Talaban and are perhaps even sending troops. The conflict could turn into ww3.

As far as I'm concerned, let the Mujahadeen kill another 15K Russians.

They just killed 6000 in the towers! And you're on the side of the muslims? Unbelievable.

Maybe then they'll stop playing their silly games.

What silly games? Stepping up with full support?

I'll never trust the Russians.

Why? Have they ever broken their word since the breakup of the Soviet Union? They were against our senseless bombing of civilians in Yugo. Do you have a problem with that. Please, think before you post.

There is honor in getting to Kabul first?

Not that it matters, but if Russia enters Kabul, they are welcome to it, IMHO. Couldn't think of anyone more deserving.

I understand where you are coming from, my friend.

My dad was the head Military Aide who set up the post WWII Potsdam Conference

& thought about "popping" Stalin once when he was near Stalin with a 45 sidearm (He liked Gen. Patton, who favored going after the Russains at the end of the War).

(In which case, if he had "popped" Stalin, I wouln't be writng this).

With all due respect, the historical parallel to the Russian Soviets' racing to Berlin to control maximum E. European territory, at the end of WWII is paralleled here;

I don't think the Russians want part of Afghanistan,

any more than WE want part of VietNam.

;^)

FReegards,

Someone who evidently cannot read -- or reason -- must find much in life unbelievable. Where did I say that I was on the side of muslims?

What silly games? Stepping up with full support?

No, doing ANYTHING for the sake of their so-called "honor." What honor? BTW, they haven't stepped up with full support. You have trouble reading, reasoning, and telling the truth. Are you Russian?

Oh, brother. School must've been real hard on you. THINK, man! I didn't specifically say that I don't trust the Russian government, though it's true that I don't. I simply said that I don't trust Russians. Period. It's a completely different thing. I don't trust the people. I don't trust their hearts. I don't trust their minds. I don't trust their DNA.

Whatever virtues the Russian people may have still had in them before Karl Marx came along, was finally and thoroughly selected out by Stalin. What is left is only what he created: lying, corrupt, murdering, drunken, gangsters; if you were a Russian at the turn of the last century, and you had any virtue whatever coded into your DNA, you did not survive to pass it on.

We should kick all Russians (and I guess I've got to spell this out for you, all arabs) out of this country because they are only by the very thinnest of margins less of a danger to us than arabs. Neither is capable of contributing anything desirable to America.

I see that I'm dealing here with a racist of the worst kind, you! In 1917 the communist took over in Russia and ruled with an iron fist for 70 years with a party consisting of 2% of the population. In the process they almost destroyed the Free Will that we all have from above.

They are now 'free' and consider themselves the savior(s) of christianity. We have finally allied with them in the fight against 'fanatical muslims'. Hopefully we will make amends and seriously join Israel and the Yugos to rip out the fanatics.

Do the Russians have a O.J., a Dershowitz, a Bill Mayer, a Bill Clinton, a Florida Supreme Court? I have read that more Russians, than any other nationality that came to the states, prefered to return and live in Russia. Have you ever heard of Solzenitzen(?)? There are two sides of a coin my friend , you have, I'm afraid 1/2 of a education.

But I think that all Middle Easterners that entered in the last 10 years should be reprocessed. Don't worry about the Russians, they don't think that the states has the culture they are used to.

I'm not Russian but facts are facts, at a tremendous lost, they defeated the Nazies. IMO they would have been in Berlin whether we invaded or not, the rout of the Germans was on before we went in. Incidentally, should we allow the Germans to remain in this country by your logic?
