Moderation Questions

I dont ignore that. I understand context. I also dont think Zhukov did a deep dive bc he was too busy you know, running the military aspect.

frame this in the louvre

even if second rate US equipment was the decisive factor (it wasnt ofc but even if it was), the Soviets still did the work of killing the Nazis. this is very hard for the West to accept as we can see.

Can we move this dogshit to the conspiracy thread? And contain Viktor there for good measure.

you could stop responding

I'm here for the ChatGPT lols and Nic Cage movies, and you keep commie-tarding it up.

Did Vic say only or did you invent that

talk to rickroll and BGP. as usual they cannot accept the fact that someone disagrees with any Western idea and certainly not the propagandized account that the USA beat the Nazis despite the fact that Soviets killed like 75% of them.

Clearly you don't know how language works if you think he needed to, but for the avoidance of doubt, he subsequently quantified that he meant 90%.

Today I learned people don’t understand the differences between supplying and fighting

I am all in favor of seeing P&S return to its Hamsterdam roots. Little to no moderation, let the forum members dictate the land.

So Vic didn’t say that when you quoted him as such

Bruh, I don't think you are really in a position to be commenting on others' reading comprehension in general, or in this instance specifically.

cosign, this is worse than pizzagate for anyone with the tiniest understanding of military history - genuinely think victor even put in that one dissenting viewpoint in the wiki as well 😀

Stop being an annoying pedant. Despite what you think, it just makes you look even dumber than usual, if that's even possible.

Happy Birthday! Can you tell us a story from your younger days to celebrate? I've always wanted to know what it was like on Noah's Ark.

Happy birthday from everyone here.

Amen.

It's ironic that it's the Western historian that Victor agrees with while it's all the Soviets who are apparently spreading the Western propaganda.

Obviously the Soviets played a huge role in defeating the Nazis and I don't doubt that the USA's direct role is often overstated in the US. Nitpicking and downplaying the impact Western aid played in helping the Soviets is a still a completely ridiculous hill to die on. Even taking the one scholar who agrees with you at face value it still saved millions if not 10s of millions of lives (i.e. the additional deaths if the war had been extended by 12-18 months).

I stated 2 facts and didnt attack anyone. I was subsequently personally attacked by 3 posters and then you came along to chastise me and attack me.

all 4 of these posters know that I am not allowed to respond at even a fraction of their vitriol and are desperately hoping that I do.

happy birthday gangsta

all of the Soviets? bc I just read about only 3 and the claims are pretty tenuous.

And we've reached the Victim phase of the discussion. Too predictable.

i apologize if i came off insulting to you, that was not my intention

but i stand by that you're going into cospiratard level with this "zhukov and kruschev who literally fought in the war didn't know anything but this american who wrote about it over half a century later (and disagrees with all of his peers) magically understood it better"

its confirmation bias at its finest and you can do better than that

as wild says, this is obviously subjective and open to interpretation, but even glantz admits it dramatically changed the outcome

i like you personally, i advocate for you a lot, but you it's been years since you've done anything but rinse and repeat whatever nonsense fits the binary world view you've constructed
