Yeah thanks, especially form the West, they never talk about the eastern front in schools or the media here, it's nice to know about it.

Thank you RT for putting the heroes of WWII for us to see and hear - the People

small wonder russians don't smile much. they went from Stalin and the Ukraine famine and the Terror to this and when WW2 was over Stalin punished all his repatriated former POWs.

@EPICPROGAMERS These days I'm really hoping US/Israel VS Iran will happen, I'm so bored with the current wars. So what if I havent lost anyone or fought in a war myself? I can still enjoy a good war without being on the front lines getting shot at. Your values are not your own, you have been tought them and they are sheeplike and shallow, people are close to worthless.

[EPICPROGAMERS]

@1TtidnaB what a very selfish and cowardly statement to say that you like war, have you ever fought in one? have you ever lost family,friends to one ? or are you some one who watches tv and critizes the soldiers who fight in them from the safety of a computer screen? people like you make me sick

@emacrisema

War is caused by intolerant fools, fought by brave boys and waged by brilliant tacticians and strategists.

btw its 'intellectual'

To honor the Russians i must say the Wehrmacht the Americans fought against in 1944 you can't compare to the Wehrmacht that invaded the Soviet Union in 1941. In 1944 about 2 Million German Soldiers had already fallen in Russia and the Africa Campaign had also failed. So Americans only eleminated the remains of that once most powerfull Army of the World... i don't want to affront you my american friends i am of cause thankful that you brought us finally democracy ;-)

@sutton123454 Ah well. I still dont see you having any comment to anything I said, it seems you just wanted to say something and randomly used one of my comments to say your offtopic bullshit on.

Some dude said that the soviets were heroes because they fought an invading force, and I told him that the afgan resistance must be heroes too if we apply the same logic. Personally I like war, more so when its religious people killing religious people.

[sutton123454]

@1TtidnaB They invaded because of that and probably other reasons but i don't care to much for the other reasons, alot of it's made up storys.
