Hitler declared war on the US. There was no choice but to "save Stalin's ass" in order to save our own. As for the other stuff, take a look at the Chemical Weapons treaties... I mean many screamed that Russia is about to use chemical weapons in Ukraine... except it doesn't have any. We on the other hand blew through our obligations.

Iraq didn't have chemical weapons (WMD's) either but that didn't stop the neocons from lying about it and saying that they did and invading them anyway.

Maybe we can get some of them to work on our docks and drive trucks so we can get our supply chain moving again. With unemployment at a historic low it seems like we could use some more workers. And make no mistake, the illegals aren't coming here for our weather.

There you go...Hand out CDLs and dues free membership in the Teamsters! That will fix the Port Of Long Beach.

Describe those events, please ? Mostly what I remember of soviet relations is Paul Robeson and Tailgunner Joe the drunk from Wisconsin.


Oh yeah. The twenty million Russians who died fighting the Germans had nothing to do with it.

btw, the equipment the US sent to the Soviet Union was the junk no one else would touch, like the lovely P39.


That's certainly something to be proud of ! A country we did not drop bombs on ! What an achievement !


Ooooh, bad rooskies, bad bad !

Have you ever thought that if you write your secrets o the walls of the toilet stall down at the bus station, maybe these "thefts" are your own fault ?

Besides which, the rooskies took as many Germans as the US did. Maybe their Germans were better than our Germans and it had nothing to do with "theft". They got to space first, you know. Beep! Beep!



That's because they don't know much US history. Understandable, I don't know much Russian history, either.

But I do know US history. Not one treaty. If we had, you'd be living in the ocean because every single plot of land in the US was ceded in perpetuity to the Indians. You could make the case that Manhattan was bought but the rest, every single acre of it, ceded by treaty then taken at gunpoint and treachery later on.


I think that was a mistake. They could have picked up all of Iran's F14's for a few suitcases of cash and had a better start on a good aircraft. F-18, bah. Plane for sissies. Then have Korea build a few carriers and they'd be in it for 1/10th what the US pays.

"Carrier Battle Groups" are just for picking on little two-bit countries anyhow, they are worthless in a real squabble with an equivalent power.

the Land Lease Agreement is the most momentous.

World War II Allies: U.S. Lend-Lease to the Soviet Union, 1941-1945

Even before the United States entered World War II in December 1941, America sent arms and equipment to the Soviet Union to help it defeat the Nazi

And yes 20 million Russians died, but many of the soldiers had American weapons. Without it they would be speaking german in Moscow.

Well Greggie, I sleep better now than I did when we had trump telling us dozens of lies daily. But then I don't live in a fantasy world like you trumpers do.

It's great your sleeping well and can arise from your slumber knowing Joe Biden the pinnacle of truth and everything that is good and wholesome is running things.

Not small arms certainly the Russ PPSH was hard to beat. But yeah, the Russians benefitted greatly from trucks, boots, food and aircraft---. Thompson submachine guns and .45 ball got put into storage and then sold off in the 90's and turn of the century. GO BUDGE!

Oh c'mon...if we got room for a few million souls from South of the border we certainly have room for one of our own. Besides....Mannie provides some witty banter.

And BTW--Since we are talking about South America and bashing commies (whether real or imagined)
----Happy (belated) birthday to Che Guevera! >> Sure, he killed a lot of people, but he sold a crap-ton of T-shirts. A murderous communist in life, but a successful capitalist in death.<<<

...and he rode a kool motorcycle......

Interesting ref the "shock therapy to embrace capitalism"....and endorsed by the IMF.
We now have incoming shock therapy to embrace socialism....

Spain has incoming shock therapy to embrace socialism? Who knew. I hope it all works out well for you all.

Note to moderator: Not surprisingly, the "usual suspects" are once again reverting to direct personal attacks against other members despite the supposed reforms.

If one of us used similar insults against them would it result in a "timeout"?

Mommy, those other guys are being mean to me.

You trump whiners are crying all the time about shelves not being fully stocked but then at the same time you want to reduce the workforce by sending people out of the country. More cognitive dissonance from the trump cult members.

Yep....Krauts were literally in sight of Moskow. So close. No Sprechen Sie Deutch at Red Square.

I have yet to see him just make shit up and tell us all about it like your cult god did. And I find that very refreshing after 4 years of non stop lies from trump. Face it. Your guy trump is a pathological liar and there is a difference between a person that tells an occasional lie and a pathological liar like trump.

Anyone that still supports pathological liar trump is someone that I want nothing to do with.

I didn't know that you needed a teamsters card to drive truck or a cdl to work on the docks in Long Beach. Do tell.

Who's complaining?
I just use shortages, high gas and grocery prices, lack of infant formula, inflation, illegal immigration, lousy public schools, crummy roads, and Ukraine WAR....to illustrate Joe Biden's management skills.

Well, if anything, you certainly are infatuated by Donald J Trump.
Myself, I enjoy commenting on the CURRENT President Joe Biden who offers something Presidential each and every day.

Maybe not since you don't need any papers to enter the U.S. to begin with.

Is that what you call it when breakfast comes up in your mouth ? Skip, that youboob moron you have referenced a few times, he's a certified idiot. Even the Washington Post isn't as bad, and that's saying something.


Another option would be to avoid being a trouble-making asshole. There are neutral countries which have kept their noses clean for many decades. It's not that hard.

The entire purpose of NATO has always been and will always be, to crush the Soviet Union. You think they are stupid ?

YES; NATO is worse than stupid. It's just part of the worldwide GRIFT.

Your cult guy takes a lot of workers out of the workforce and then bitch about not having things on shelves. How can anyone be so ignorant as to believe that eliminating workers for any reason will help solve shortage problems?

But that seems to be how the right wing rolls. They wreck the economy and then whine when the next Democrat president takes too long fixing their fuck up.

It was trumps cult members who invaded the capitol. It seems like he could have just "called off his dogs" and that would have taken care of it but he sat on his hands, hoping that they would be successful in overturning the election by force.

The entire insurrection was a result of trumps repeated lies about a stolen election and he bears the responsibility for it 100%.

He does not bear responsibility for how badly it got out of hand, as usual that is on the Mayor. Of course this was an incompetent Democrat Mayor who had the National Guard, the original 340 of them on traffic detail. If you put the National Guard in the Capitol and the Keystone Cops on traffic detail the outcome would have been different.

The BLM riots got out of hand because Democrat Mayors told the police to stand down.
