Russia sacrificed a lot during the WW2. Soldiers and their families gave so much for the world to be free from fascism and nazism. Regardless of present day animosity between the West and Russia, I salute the Russian nation for their bravery and sacrifice during WW2.

Agreed.

However, Joseph Stalin was also behaving like Hitler before Germany invaded Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) in 1941.

- USSR invaded Finland and Poland in 1939.
- USSR invaded and annexed Baltic states (Estonia; Latvia; Lithuania) in 1940.

USSR and Germany had Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact to split Europe including Poland between them.

Molotov-Ribbentrop: Five states remember 'misery' pact victims

The Molotov-Ribbentrop pact doomed half of Europe for decades, say the Baltics, Poland and Romania.

Both sides were Fascist to begin with.

The Big Five have conditioned people around the world to subconsciously hate Nazism which is fine but somewhat ironic given their own respective track record(s). China does have better moral compass because these people have experienced imperialism of the British Empire for burning opium and oppression of Imperial Japan. China also saved North Korea in the Korean War.

China is becoming powerful and seems to patronize Russia lately but China should reject Fascism. Developments in Georgia, Syria and Ukraine indicate that Russia have not changed.

This war is relatively bigger in scale and much more intense than Soviet-Afghan War ever was. Tragic on many levels.

I see much, much more parallels with Iran-Iraq, except it's going a bit quicker. 8 years have passed since Putin sent his Khuzestanians, and he then went to finish it off.

Similarly, ethnic Russians played major role opposing Russia, as ethnic Arabs, and Kurds played a big role on Iranian side, to Saddam's huge surprise. Saddam took the decision to sarin his Kurds after losing the war.

Big difference though is that the West was feeding weapons to Iraqis, from behind the back, not the defending side, and that's the main reason why the hot phase lasted that long.

Saddam was sending forward men with stick, and stones closer to the end of the war once the generosity of his sponsors ran out.

Similarly, Ukrainians got their own battle of Khorramshahr in Maripol.

A debate between 1 congresswoman and 1 congressman. both of whom happened to be Republicans, on the $40 billion USD arms package to Ukraine. Deep State operative Dan Crebshaw thinks as long as there is no single American soldier in Ukraine while "investing in the destruction of [their] adversary's [Russia] military strikes [him] as a good idea." In other words, let us fight Russia to the last Ukrainian. Not sure if any Ukrainian, including their leadership, is paying attention.

Joseph Stalin was also behaving like Hitler before Germany invaded Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) in 1941.

Stalin and Hilter were allies at the start of WWII, between the two they decided to carve up Europe between Germany and USSR. All that changed when Hilter added Russian territory to the menu..

US wants to do to soloman islands what Russia did to ukraine

US confirms threat to invade Solomon Islands over China security agreement

The refusal of a senior US State Department official to rule out military action against Solomon Islands means that is exactly what is under discussion in Washington.

Nobody believes this boolshit propaganda. Even a 8 year-old can see what this is: Some made-up boolshit. How many times are you gonna repeat that bs? Gee, what happened to people having common sense? I'm just glad that, unlike this fella, I have a job and can see what he is bombarding to the forum.

This thread was very interesting. It explains the role of one engineer in tactical operations. I never knew engineers were so important for planning warfare. I only imagined that they are there to support with vehicle and equipment maintenance.

For all these arab and other Russian sympathizers please go to Russia next time you have a war or issue, don’t come to Europe and the US. Obviously most of you support Russia so go live there and see what Russia is lol.

Just imagine a world Russia or China rules…

All countries US defeated in Ww2 are today successful, wealthy and developed countries. How about Russia? Most are still playing catchup 30 years later lol.

China? Yeah nooo …

Germany and Japan were considered developed countries pre 1939.
