Standing by your comment is one thing the question was and is how would you have accomplished the task of conquering the Russians?
Again anyone can thump their chest but how you gonna back up your bullshit?

Interesting how you seem to take everything at face value, at least if it supports your views. The Ahmadinejad interview, what we supposedly had within our weapons inventory and I assume more from there....

It really is not a question of what I believe the point is that you are disagreeing with something that you have never heard. Do you believe that that is an intelligent thing to do?



As I said, I stand by my initial comments.But I suppose just because you think you are right, surely I must be wrong.


I did not say you were wrong I asked how you would have done it?
You come on the boards like you are some military know it all and when asked a simple question you start dancing like a little girl at her first prom.
You said:

not attacking Russia at the end of WWII as black marks. But the conquest of land that was there to be had in my opinion is natural expansion.

Now just how would you have done that?


Concurrently, I never said I would have attacked the USSR, That was only your initial assumption, I offerred a possible method I thought was not employed.

Above please find your own words


My comment was as stated, that I viewed the lack of action as one of our historical black marks. The fact that we didn't confront Stalinism brought forth countless problems right up until today.

No your above remark states that attacking Russia would be for the gains in land not for your new found anti Stalin sentiments

I hadn't got out the door just yet (headin' for the prom) and seen your post here.

I see now what may have caused a bit of a misunderstanding. When I typed the part about the conquest of land that was in reference to the American western expansion. That original post  I suppose it is best to blame my gramatical deficiencies.

That makes much more sense than the way I took it...thanks for the clarification.

My bad, though you are welcome to dismiss my explanation, I now see why you were bent on making this a ground conflict based in response to me.

Even had we attacked the USSR, I would not have thought occupying or colonizing that wilderness a solid idea. 

It was what Hitler had planned

The military know it all is a bit harsh though, and certainly since that is what it looks like what you consider yourself to be.

I am not the one with all the chest thumping and rhetoric and the bullshit about the Iran rescue mission

Let's just agree to dislike one another and attack any comments the other makes for the rest of our existance....

So far you have not given me a reason to dislike you.

Have a great night! Jarhead...

Well maybe now you have

Did he even have a strategy for conquering Russia in the first place? I thought he was just talking about keeping heading east after they'd taken Berlin.
