Workers of Europe unite! Overthrow your puppet regimes, stop European involvement in these wars! Ignite world revolution!

Bourgeois democracy is nothing but a cloak for imperialism and fascism.

[KhanZazai]

lol afghans are no viets or koreans or germans. we fight back. our reputation is breaking the nicks of superpowers. we have collection of Empires in our Graveyards. here is one on the way. With All due respect to Peace loving ppl.

[spinozareagan]

Let it all out, you little nationalist.

The USSR could have easily crushed your entire country and wiped it off the map if it had a strategic use in it.

[KhanZazai]

i see. strategic use of loosing 200,000 plus soldiers.

strategic use of coming and running away?what strategy was that.

i guess you should enjoy ur burger and fries and watch fox news. don't lecture others.

[spinozareagan]

You ignored my statement-- All I am saying is that the only reason Afghanistan has collections of "Empires" in your "Graveyards" is because you have no real armies. You can't face anyone on the battlefield. You have to hide and attack the enemy at unawares. In open battle, the Russians and Americans would crush you.

Also, the withdrawal of the Russians was helped significantly by American support.

So keep jerking off and pretending you are "better" than the Vietnamese, Koreans, etc.

[KhanZazai]

yes thats true, sitting in B52 3000+feet above the ground. thats the battlefield you are talking about.or having a joystick and watching your monitor targeting ppl with drons thats what you call battlefield?

lol you americans are either very naive or very dumb, you can not even put a proper argument.

[spinozareagan]

You continue to ignore my statements and just try to add another dimension to it. You are boring me.

I agree,militarily red army was largest and most powerful in history of mankind.The lesson to US , that military strength wont change the course of nations fate,they still face similar fate.

@ KhanZaZai :

Viets and Koreans didn't fight back ??!?

[ChrisEdwards2004]

Exactly. Of course they fought back. Vietnam was a massive defeat for the US. And now Vietnam is growing almost as fast as the Chinese econmy.

One, two three Vietnams!

[CaptainBluebear08]

Of course the EU stink, big time. But we're fucked now, big time as well.

Obama there and the Irish yes here will turn things horrendous beyond imagination.
