Yes, it's well known Russian leaders use their men as cannon fodder and have a no retreat policy. They're doing it now in Ukraine. What do you think the casualty count proves?

Now then. To the rest of you, Victor has recently served a lengthy sentence and he has been on good behavior since returning.

You are all welcome to challenge the content he posts, but the personal comments need to stop right now. It’s not productive to our community and does nothing to foster community engagement.

It should also be considered that anyone who intentionally attempts to troll someone to their tipping point is going to get the same infractions or penalties as the other person.

If you want to be an arrogant, controversial figure, you're going to get the reaction you campaigned for. That's not bullying, it's how humans interact with one another. Subsequently playing the victim card is pathetic and Trump-esque.

what metric would you need to see to convince you that the the Nazis couldn’t have been beaten without the Soviets?


What metric to agree that Soviets did over 50% of fighting?

What personal comments? Every comment I have seen has been criticising Victor's views.

Wtf dude. Do you understand the difference between "Stalin defeated Hitler" and "The allies couldn't have defeated Hitler without Stalin"? Do you think these mean the same thing?

D2, you yourself admitted at the top of this page that you are engaging in mockery.

This isn’t a debate. I’m telling you to stop.

Of his views, yes. Not of him. I have not made any personal remarks about the poster, so I don't know what you're telling me to stop.

soviets provided the manpower, usa provided the everything else, both were essential

in 1943 alone the usa produced more aircraft than germany had produced in its entire history

also in 1943 alone the usa produced more naval tonnage than every other combatant combined since the start of the war

god bless the usa, greatest country in the world, could've easily sat out and watched while the rest of the world (and my great grandparents on ma's side specifically) turn into dust, but instead it stepped up and saved the world

Lol dude, everyone can see exactly what you wrote in this thread in the last few hours, you know this, right? Why are you trying to pretend that you meant something completely different now?

Soviets did about 90% to win the war and would have won without lend-lease. thats it.

you can quibble over the 90% figure. maybe it was only 80%!

Ok, so we're back to you owning the claim you made (if leaving yourself some room to walk it back mildly), this is progress.
