    I've had Poles, Hungarians, Czhechs who lived under German occupations and Soviet occupation after supposedly being liberated. Everyone said they were treated better under German occupation (unless you were a Jew) than by the Soviets. The Soviets ganged rape the women and girls while forcing the husbands and sons to watch. The Soviets stripped the homes bare, including the food. If the Soviets came across a water closet toilet, after pulling the chan a few dozen times because they never seen such a contraption before, it was removed and sent back to mother Russia.

    The atrocities committed by the Soviet troops were incomparable to the Germans who were highly disciplined soldiers, like soldiers are suppose to be.

    Russia is one among many world powers, you seem to have the problem of compairing Russia to the US which is also a military superpower.
    The whole point of the anti balistic missile shield in Europe is to eliminate most of Russia's potential to retaliate in the event of a US first strike, no more MAD, & help the US bully Russia into doing what the US tells it to do.
    If that is the real attitude in Washington then it will almost certainly lead to war.
    Russia is not trying to be a super power but it is working hard to defend it's self against one.
    The worlds food production is petrol based - no petrol, not much food. Russia also manufactures 80% of it's own motor vehicles.
    The US cannot sustain, economically, the defence spending of the US & it is now 18 trillion dolars in debt.
    And does it realy matter if Washington is turned to molten glass by an unexpectedly successful Russian retaliation or if it is smothered in radioactive dust from it's own attack on Russia?

    I read that the soldiers who raped in Berlin were predominantly Lithuanians. I can't vouch for its authenticity. :confuse:

    Lets not forget the tens and tens of thousand of little girls, teens, women and grannies who were raped by Soviet soldiers in Poland, Czechoslovkia, Hungary, Romania. etc.

    The countries that the Soviets were suppose to be liberating they raped, murdered and plundered.

    The Soviet army was a drunken mob.

    So if you give a man a fish every day, he'll vote the Democrat ticket.

    If you teach a man how to fish, he'll vote Republican.

    If a man already knows how to fish, he probably also owns a gun and hunts and is a supporter of the Tea Party.

    I read in a site that Nuland was freaking out about the electronic warfare on the American ship in the Black Sea, and how all their equipment was made useless, and that she was also furious about Russia giving some high tech equipment to France which enabled them to sink an American ship in games off the coast of Florida.

    If we're going to have freak outs and filthy language from such as 'f*ck the EU' Nuland, and if we're going to have hallucinations about Russian troops in Ukraine by her friend General Breedlove, then how can anyone say that a world war is not inevitable? I mean all it takes is a few insane people...and believe me we certainly have them.

    We have to remember also what the German army did to them. Twenty seven million Russians were killed, and most of them were civilians. They suffered the most in WWII. Anyway the Germans were pagans, and the Russians were atheists so what can you expect?

    More civilians are killed during war than soldiers. That's the result of modren warfare.

    I've talked to dozens of Poles, Czechs and Hungarans who lived through German occupation during the war and then under the Soviets occupation.

    It wasn't Disneyland living under German occupation and death was certain if you were a Jew. But all said the German soldier was very disciplined, respected personal property and didn't rape their women folks.

    One guy (Hungarian) told me when the Germans took over their home to be used as a command post they were moved to the barn. The Germans fed the entire family every day. When they got out of Dodge, all of their belongings were still in the house.

    When the Soviets arrived, they took all of the females in the family preteen to the grandmother and forced the husband and his sons watch while dozens of Soviet soldiers gang raped them.

    After that, they stripped the house clean, they took every thing that could be carried away from the house including the toilet.

    The Soviets were not all Russians, and as I said the communists were atheists...they were ruthless everywhere. I'm sure the 'white' Russian army had it still existed, would have acted differently. The German army though was disciplined. I know of a relative on a Greek island who a German soldier made a pass at. Her father complained to the officer in charge and he told him to point him out, but he refused to so as not to get him in trouble.

    Seven hundred million in Greece did starve, and it was a form of genocide. I know that families which were blond and looked German were given food. The communist resistance though was more brutal, and probably more died under them than under the Germans.

    A former business associate of mine is German. He comes from a very affluent family in Berlin. I've seen pictures of the family home that's been in the family for hundreds of years. It's in a neighborhood of Berlin which you could say is the Beverly Hills of Berlin.

    He was 12 years old during the Battle of Berlin in 1945. When the Soviet solders crashed through the door of the house and started plundering, carrying every thing out of the house loading them in trucks to be driven back to Russia he was hiding in the basement with his mother, brother and sister. He was expecting seeing white Russians but when the Soviet soldiers came down the stairs, they were Cossacks.

    I always thought is was a greater honor for the enemy to die in battle. To each his own.

    Well each nations military is diffrent. During WW ll it was an honor to die for the Emperor of Japan, only after you have already killed 10 U.S. Marines.

    During the 1960's Marine Corps DI's use to tell their recruits that you had to get permission to die in combat. :smile:

    But there is some truth what Destroyer of Illusions says, there are 10 million young men of military age in Russia just itching for Putin to give the word to pick up an AK-74's and fight for mother Russia.

    Russia is a very nationalistic country.

    America was always a nationalist country until the 1970's. Maybe half of America are still nationalist today ???

    Obama sure isn't a nationalist, he hates America and what it stands for.

    Do you think this is an argument? I also have to tell you that I have had friends.... who .... ..... and so on? Do not you think it's stupid?

    Your reference to fiction novels, I do not can be seen as an argument in our debates. Also not can considered as a historical fact footage from the movie "Gladiator" or "Star Wars." This is nonsense.

    I show you the real picture. You showed me reference to ravings of a madman about the "evil" Russian.
    Once again. Learn to think for themselves.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Washington Has Resurrected the Threat Of Nuclear War
    http://www.counterpunch.org/2015/02/25/washington-has-resurrected-the-threat-of-nuclear-war/

    From The Article:
    "As Stephen Lendman, who documents the ever growing anti-Russian propaganda, honestly states:
    “America’s war on the world rages. Humanity’s greatest challenge is stopping this monster before it
    destroys everyone.”

    The absurdity of it all ! Even a moron knows that if Russia is going to put tanks and troops into Ukraine,
    Russia will put in enough to do the job. The war would be over in a few days if not in a few hours
    . As
    Putin himself said some months ago, if the Russian military enters Ukraine, the news will not be the fate
    of Donetsk or Mauriupol, but the fall of Kiev and Lviv.

    &

    "Former US Ambassador to the Soviet Union (1987-91) Jack Matlock cautioned against the crazed
    propagandistic attack against Russia in his speech at the National Press Club on February 11. Matlock is
    astonished by the dismissal of Russia as merely “a regional power” of little consequence to the powerful
    US military. No country, Matlock says, armed with numerous, accurate, and mobile ICBMs is limited to
    regional power.
    This is the kind of hubristic miscalculation that ends in world destruction.

    Why Is the West Spoiling for a Fight with Russia?
    http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article41179.htm


    From The Article: a Canadian Perspective

    "What are the consequences when elected governments make policy based on faith and imperial hubris
    instead of science and expertise? It's a question that is forcing itself on the world as we watch the United-
    States, Britain, NATO and the Harper government continue to up the ante in the confrontation with Russia
    over the Ukraine. There are real enough geo-political dangers in the world without actually creating them
    out of arrogance and ignorance but that is where we are right now and the consequences could be catastrophic.

    &

    "You know things are really dangerous when one of America's pre-eminent warmongers is worried about
    U.S. policy.
    Henry Kissinger recently wrote in The Huffington Post, "Far too often the Ukrainian issue is
    posed as a showdown: whether Ukraine joins the East or the West. But if Ukraine is to survive and thrive,
    it must not be either side's outpost against the other -- it should function as a bridge between them."

    Hubris and a contempt for analysis and history played out quickly Libya. There is still a chance that the
    world can step back from the brink in Europe. If it doesn't we will know who to blame.

    I didn't quote or linked to any novel.

    Propaganda photos. The revisionist historians still use the photo of a naked Vietnamese girl running down a road with her village in the background being napalmed and the left claims it's American aircraft that's napalming the village.

    The facts are, there were no Americans with in miles of the vill and it was South Vietnamese air force aircraft that napalmed the VC village not American.

    But most people are led to believe that it was Americans who napalmed the vill and ignore that the soldiers in the photo are ARVAN not Americans.

    Has anyone ever denied My Lai ?

    You had a Lt. who followed orders that was an unlawful order.

    The My Lai incident wasn't a war crime. If the incident were have taken place in Cambodia or Laos, then it might have been a war crime.

    The Saigon government refused to file charges so Lt. Calley was tried under the UCMJ for murder. The American people were loud and clear back in 1971, Lt. Calley was not guilty. Remember, most of the adult population back then were baby boomers where 80% of the male baby boomers served during WW ll. They looked at war differently than those liberals who never served.

    The My Lai hamlets were VC, the village inhabitants were the enemy. But they were unarmed. So if the incident were have happen outside the RVN, it would likely fall under being a war crime.

    Those who never served and experienced combat, shouldn't be passing judgement on those who have.

    You know...and I know I am guilty of this as well with my CAP LOCK ISSUES....but Man.....the multicolored posts are difficult to read and sometimes I just skim them because it hurts my currently only one good eye until the other heals.

    Back in the 1980's......because of a combination of new Early Warning Systems but ESPECIALLY because it seemed every other week a new Soviet Leader was installed because they kept dying and this led to INSTABILITY within the Soviet Nuclear Chain of Command.

    Yuri Andropov was the worse because he was dying before he became the new Soviet Leader and his disease caused him to become paranoid and delusional.

    Putin simply made a mistake.....a big mistake.

    Putin might be THE MAN in Russia and still considered a DIRE FOE by those in Georgia, Ukraine...etc.....but as far as Putin and the Russian Military being considered much of a threat to the U.S. and Western Europe or NATO.....uhhhhhhh......no.

    Russia and Putin and 110 Putin Buddies who were former KGB, GRU, OLD SOVIET COMMUNIST LEADERSHIP OR MILITARY......well for them IT IS ALL ABOUT MONEY!!!!

    This entire annexation of Crimea was about NATURAL GAS MONEY!!!

    And the current collapse of the Russian Economy and the ordering my the IMF and World Bank that the U.S. Treasury is now the Monetary Distributer for Russia and the U.S. DOLLAR is the current EMERGENCY CURRENCY OF RUSSIA....as the Ruble has no value.......well this is all PUTIN thinking he was a BIG BOY....but when in fact he is NOT!

    The Russian Economy CANNOT RECOVER unless Putin agrees to a DEAL with the United States!!!!

    Look....if we wanted the Entire Russian Economic System to collapse completely and forever....we could do that...but we are not.

    Putin just needs to learn he can't BREAK DEALS WITH THE UNITED STATES!!!

    And the FACT remains....no matter how many threats...or how much Military Posturing....or how many Anti-American Imperialism Rallies Putin organizes and has.....it's not going to change ONE BASIC FACT!!!

    That fact is.....

    UNLESS PUTIN WANT'S THE RUSSIAN ECONOMY TO BE COMPLETELY CONTROLLED BY THE UNITED STATES AND REMAIN EMBARRASSED AS RUSSIAN'S REFUSE TO USE THE RUBLE FOR ANY TRANSACTIONS OF ANY KIND.......SO UNLESS PUTIN WANT'S RUSSIA'S MONETARY SYSTEM TO HAVE BILLS THAT SAY......THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.....FOREVER......Putin needs to make a DEAL!

    You don't need to be a person..."IN THE KNOW".....to figure out and understand this one basic fact.
