@7numrat The Red Army was the most awesome fighting force the world has ever seen at the end of WW2. You shouldn't believe American propaganda. The red army was a never before seen and never again seen 10 million man mechanized army in the field. Unheard of. And if you don't think that is relevant, then just compare the size, scope, fatalities and battles on the Eastern and Western front, the Eastern Front dwarfs the Western Front. The Soviet Union won World War 2 and the U.S. came out winner.

@TheGoldenKing20 grow up and stop jerking off to the though of D-Day. study history somewhere outside the US and you might learn the US didn't win every war.

@youngbuck189 Commie nonsense, the reason the casualties on the Eastern front were so high was because of the freezing cold, and that fucker Stalin's 'battle tactics' involved using men as cannon fodder, why do you think the Reds' casualties were so damn high?

racism is way to make ppl be kept divided, one of their weapons, the americans are beyond savior they have been brainwashed and divided until they are just fat dumb confused, they think the commies are out to get them when they dont even know what communism is since they dont teach that there, or fascism by the way, usa is typical neo colonial fasist racist country, so its for the rest of the planet to fight against the banking cartel and all governments that are in bed with them

brits and usa and jews supported hitler into power were do u think he got the money the gold to pay for a war machine and get germany out of caos, it was lended to him, they studied his profile, war is big bussyness uk rothschilds saxo coburg gotha and their usa cronies have their hands in all 3 world debt and make new products to create more and more debt and inslave whole world, no doubt the future is dark, superficial, decease filled, with puppet gov. and their masters of banking industry

[youngbuck189]

@goddedme They beat the Germans, the Eastern Front has exponentially more battles and territory fought over. Why are you ignoring glaring reality?

[goddedme]

@youngbuck189 I've never understood this idea that "the Russians lost more men, so they won the 2nd world war." How does that make you the winner? Surely the Americans won because they lost the least troops, and ended the war with literally half the world's wealth?

One of the most memorable interviews of John Pilger on DN is a few years ago when Pilger related that he was at the Ambassador Hotel in June 1968 when Senator Robert Kennedy was assassinated. He stated that the number of shots and the location of Sirhan Sirhan indicated there was more than one shooter in the hotel kitchen. . .woops! That violates the Amy Goodman self imposed censorship against , may Chomsky forgive me, CONSPIRACY THEORIES!!!!!!!!!!
