Recovering a WWII bomber hidden in a French cave

Agreed.

We shall drive a bullet into the forehead
Of the rotten fascist filth,
We shall build a solid coffin
For the scum of humanity!

This is why they won the war.  Best leave them Russians alone.

Another text along these lines is the oath shown from 11:20 to 12:20 in this video of Frank Capra’s Why We Fight: The Battle of Russia - Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKgciQ0FRNY.  I’m not sure if that particular bit of footage (which looks rather staged) originated in either Russia or Hollywood, but my understanding is that The Battle of Russia was presented in Russia during the war and was very favourably received.

Nice story.

I havn’t defended French prisons, i just laugh at the outrage expressed by Americans w.r.t. French prisons when the US penal system looks so problematic.

i havent seen anyone yet express outrage. also, you acknowledge yourself that you are comparing French PRISONS, with the US PENAL SYSTEM. you cant compare the two. it doesnt work

i havn’t compared the two yet. Also i am wondering about your definition of “outrage”.

“ours is terrible, but at least it isn’t as bad as FRANCE’S”.

no, actually, ours is quite good. im not at all pleased with our justice and penal system, but the physical prisons are quite good. not even relative to france, but in general.
ahhh ok. So the prison buildings in America are fine - the prisons themelves suck then?

I guess by this standard, i could mock just about everything American all the time . . . .
Oh yeah - i already do

and yet, when americans mock anything about another country, there is such hostility from you.

not true.
Also i was exaggerating. I criticise much more than i mock. The only thing American that i mock is their President. Sadly too much that is Canadian is a reflection of American “values” so i would find myself far too often mocking issues of my own nation (which i already do, by the way).
this post was not me. and the quotes are all screwed up, so i have no idea what point was made. if it was you, CC, like i assume, please repost

@Yanny:

His opponent was John Kerry.

A monkey in a suit could beat John Kerry.

Wait! I thought John Kerry WAS a monkey in a suit! Now I’m all confused. pout

(a joke)

@F_alk:

especially explaining stones by english pounds… i just wonder that you must have taken the “imperial” as coming from the US and not from the british empire … i thought only liberals think that the US could be called imperial

Now I’m confused…I thought that the U.S. system of measurement came from England…and why did they change to metrics in the first place? Besides the fact that it’s easier… :wink:

… also they did not have an affective way to kill russian supply lines…the soviets did…

I’m not sure of the ground war (though the Germans were heavily outnumbered at the time and barely trying to hold their own), but the German U-Boat fleet really crippled Russia-British shipping for awhile in the Archangel area.

I believe that at some point Yanny said the Uk doesn’t play I big part in the first 10 turns.I use that time for bombing.
