So the 28 MILLION troops engaged in the east were just a diversion for Hitler's true aim of defending the West with 8 million troops... lol...
Hitler was crazy. He thought the war was winnable right up until he blew his brains out.
The Germans were so "scared" of the Americans and British there was a mad dash to surrender to them and not the Russians.
Your claim that the western front was irrelevant is simply not defensible. You should retract it and move on to the next indefensible and wrong claim you will make.
I never said irrelevant I said the war was decided in the east before the western front was opened.
It sped things up. But the Russians would have won without it.
You claimed the Germans were only successful in the east because of the west... LOL!
You're so determined to be contrarian you're saying things that are completely absurd.
Earlier you said Russia did it 50/50 with the real Allies. Yet another failure by you to stay consistent from one post to the next. It's a sweltering mess in that brain of yours, random stuff piled high all over the floor, stinking up the place.
Anyway, we've been over this, and you got biffed on it. You've been lied to, and you bought the lies like a piker. Russia's performance was pathetic in WW2. They had their hands out to the real Allies the whole time, while they somehow managed to get 20 million of their citizens, including 8 million soldiers, blown up. WTF? That is staggering incompetence.
Don't make me correct you on this again.
The Germans had the finest military he world had ever seen up to that point and 80% of it was directed at Russia.
You haven't corrected me on anything you've just doubled and tripled down on your ignorance.
ENGLAND had it's hand out to the US the entire war. Russia produced WAY more than it got from the lend lease program.
Russian produced over 50,000 T-34 and T34-85's the best tank of the war. American tanks were useless against German tanks.
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
I have corrected you double and triple times. Your references to Russian tanks are irrelevant. You people would all be speaking Russian without the real Allies.
You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Think! Quit relying on stuff you "think" hear.
Why do you hate America? We Americans can handle YOU.

Asserting an idiotic opinion isn't correcting anything it's letting people know you're an idiot.
I didn't make any claim that the Soviets winning was a good thing.
And stop with the tough guy talk. If the shooting starts you will run away and probably knock your own kids over to get away faster.

Russians are cowards and inept at war.

You are a brainwashed stooge. The smart thing was for Zelenskyy to surrender weeks ago. Stating Zelenskyy is an idiot does not make someone a lesser U.S. citizen.
I have been listening to many different people give their viewpoints. But damn sometimes I see Julia Ioffee and think of her has an older Lindsey from Polyamory on Showtime.
Not a fan of Bill Maher but give it up to Ioffee for giving best line in a long time on his show this week.
The funniest thing anyone has said on this show in years.

You keep saying that like it makes it true. By that reasoning, Stalin was an idiot for not surrendering as soon as Germany started to invade the USSR in WWII. If your only metric is casualties than Putin is an idiot for supporting independence of Donetsk and Luhansk and prolonging those conflicts. Putin is an even bigger idiot for invading a sovereign country and bombing a bunch of civilians, getting tens of thousands of his troops killed, and setting his country’s economy back a few decades. Of course, you’re the biggest idiot for supporting him.

You thought you would have me stumped with failed Operation Barbarossa. Stalin knew logistics or Stalin knew Soviet military could cut off Germany's supply lines and starve German troops. Nothing to do what is going on in this current conflict.
I am not supporting Putin. I am supporting U.S. tax payers by advocating U.S. stop providing military aid to Zelenskyy. If you don't know, AT-4s are one use weapons so no one can argue U.S. will eventually have weapons returned to United States.
I am not supporting Putin. I am advocating for stopping the destruction of Ukraine. Zelenskyy will surrender. Might as well surrender today. If there was a way for Zelenskyy and Ukraine to win I would say so. Wait! I have stated how Ukraine could win! The only way Ukraine could win would be if U.S. & N.A.T.O. did something very stupid, fight and send troops and fight side by side Ukraine. That won't occur, so Zelenskyy should do now what he will do later, surrender.

No sh*t AT-4s are single use. You don't have to be the one to fire a tomahawk cruise missile to know you ain't getting it back. This is by far the most cost efficient war the US has ever fought. A few tens of billions of dollars in aid to absolutely destroy the Russian military and economy? Chalk one up for the good guys.
Your concern for the destruction of the Ukraine is touching. The actual Ukrainians I've talked to (I have family that live in Kyiv) are more than willing to keep fighting, even if it means sacrificing some of their buildings.
You keep saying the Zelenskky is going to surrender. Why would he? Russia is totally effed and will be lucky to keep a foothold in Crimea. The best Putin can hope for is some promise that Ukraine doesn't join NATO or develop nuclear weapons - things that weren't going to happen in the foreseeable future anyway. Russia on the other hand is going to be an oversize version of North Korea. "Here's your loaf of bread for this month, Comrade!"
Russia says “military activities in the Kyiv and Chernihiv areas will be reduced for the sake of mutual trust”.
Interpreting this into the non-Russian language: “We have been smashed in the face, so we need to buy some time to redeploy troops to Izium and Donbas.”

You are a Putin-stooge. A Pu-Stoo. Russia is an enemy of America. Gleefully posting about Russian successes, and criticizing Ukrainians for daring to fight back against Russian scumbag baby-killers that have invaded their country, absolutely makes you a lesser U.S. citizen. It makes you a disgusting lowlife human being as well. You should move back to Russia, where you can live in squalor with other Russian degenerates and cowards.
So do you or do you not think that everything is going according to plan for Russia?
No wars go to plan.
I'm sure Putin would only take Donetsk and Luhansk if he got a do over.
He's painted himself into a corner and if he can't win he won't admit defeat until he's done as much damage to Ukraine as he can.
Russian Deputy Defense Minister Alexander Fomin wrote:
"Due to the fact that negotiations on the preparation of an agreement on the neutrality and non-nuclear status of Ukraine, as well as on the provision of security guarantees to Ukraine, are moving into practice, taking into account the principles discussed during today's meeting, by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in order to increase mutual trust and create the necessary conditions for further negotiations and achieving the ultimate goal of agreeing on the signing of the above agreement, a decision was made to radically, at times, reduce military activity in the Kiev and Chernihiv direction," Fomin was quoted by Russian state media as saying.
Putin's loser army admits defeat, retreats from Kyiv. How long until some Russian general decides to "increase mutual trust" by putting a bullet in Putin's head?

Making an argument that US support for Ukraine hurts US taxpayers doesn't isn't a justification for the contention that Zelenskyy should surrender. It seems that he and many of his citizens value Ukraine making decisions for Ukraine and remaining an independent country. What they don't want is to become a vassal state of Russia, or a province of Russian, and have their natural resources grabbed by the kleptocrats who have been robbing their own country for decades.
This may be the least self-aware sentence in letsrun history.
Facts are on my side. Your bed wetting opinions are worthless.
What side are you on? All I see from you is neurotic, incessant posts trying to "own the libs." Sometimes you are pro-Putin, other times you pretend to care about UKR.

I've never said anything "pro-Putin".
I've never pretended to care about Ukraine.
There are no good guys in this war. Both sides are awful.
The media tells you to root for Ukraine so you do. You're a sheep.
