Wow are we now arguing about the decency of the American people? :?
First it was the G8 Summit and Putin (I named this thread for a reason! :) ), then it was the Cold War, then it was Vietnam,...

Just because you've never met any, Ramil, doesn't mean they're not out there. There are 280 million people in America; you can't speak for all of them. And of course we donate to charities, kalinka...

Hey Бармалей, I like the Ak Bars too :D

You have now.

That's why I said to a certain extent. The new "Cold War" is not nearly as heated as the last one, but that doesn't mean it's not there.

Ahh...I see we're back on WW2 again. What, are we trying to beat that 28 page thread or something? :) :lol:

Yes :)

I probably will :) I just had a lot of reading at school today and wasn't up for it. Maybe tomorrow...when it's Saturday :)

Uhhh....well I'd have to say that the Cold War, to a certain extent, is sort of still going on, but I wouldn't call it the most serious threat to US security.

And sorry...I really don't have the...

Ummm....I don't have much to say about that one! A nice change from politics though :lol:

How did we go from talking about Putin to arguing aver WW2? :?
Man I should've never started this thread! :)

Thanks kalinka. Someone finally gets this point across.

I did not say the US and Britain were the only winners. I said the Soviets were not the only ones winning the war--Britain was holding off the Nazis IN ADDITION to the Soviets.

Probably this one :D

It wasn't just the Soviets who were winning. Britain held off the Nazis for years on their own. But yes, it was clear the US and USSR didn't like each other. And indeed after WW2 came the Cold War....

No, not in 1939 because the USSR wasn't an enemy of Hitler until 1941 when they were invaded. And after that we did become your "ally", in the sense that we were both fighting against Hitler. And you...

Geez no. :roll: I meant most of Europe couldn't defend themselves and the Soviets weren't doing the greatest job at it either--the Germans pasted 'em until Stalingrad when you guys kicked them out....

Oh please, don't start this crap. We didn't even know we'd be racing the Soviets to Berlin when we entered the war. And the end of fascism was not inevitible. Hitler had conquered nearly all of...

You forget that the jews have a very strong lobby in your country. Besides, war created many jobs, the gold reserve of France was moved to Fort Knox entirely and had never been returned after the...

I know that. So? I wasn't talking about the USSR, just saying that the US entered the war (European front) to try to put an end to fascism.

Clearly you missed the point of WW2 then, which was to defeat fascism--an ideology. It had nothing to do with money and resources.[/quote]
Did you for get about that whole "Lebensraum" thing? ...

So? That was Hitler's problem, not ours. OUR purpose in WW2 (which is what I was talking about) was to defeat the IDEOLOGY of fascism and stop it from spreading around the globe.

Clearly you missed the point of WW2 then, which was to defeat fascism--an ideology. It had nothing to do with money and resources.

You're in the USAF?[/quote:2kazl0z2]
