@SuperbattleshipYamato hard to argue against any of this really. The IJN was so far gone by this point in the war that there’s not really much they could have done to salvage their situation one way or another. The bit about the allies not having many LSTs in general is something I never knew before though.
Who was the GREATEST
-
I voted Stalin. He not only fought Hitler he expanded his empire in the process. You can pretend the Warsaw Pact was an alliance for Soviet friendly countries if you like. The reality is they were an actual part of the Soviet Empire. Look how long it stayed that way.
Stalin exported his brand of politics globally to an extent no other individual has in history. There are still communist nations on this planet that Iosef helped make commie. The massive effect on the world psyche and economics the Cold War had. The Korean War, and communist insurgencies that lost but still drained western powers of men and material. Stalin’s policies even effected the movies made in Hollywood. I think his world impact is under rated by most people.
Being an independent I’m able to think about politics. Being dense I’m not able to think about economics. I let Alan Greenspan do that for me. In an interview Mr. Greenspan said Clinton did very little positive for the American economy. According to Greenspan Clinton “rode on the coat tails of the previous two administrations economic policies”.
Those policies were started by Reagan. Ask any economist and they will tell you it takes a good decade for a policy to fully effect the multi-trillion dollar engine that is the American economy. Reagan bashers should not take my word for it. Read up a little about how our economy really works then re-access your politics. Thank Reagan for the '90’s, thank Clinton for now, thank Bush for what’s soon to come, and thank the next guy for the 2020’s.
It’s about time Stalin gets some love in this poll.

@ABWorsham:
Stalin gets some love in this poll.
Yes Stalin did well and the only thing the russians thought of when the germans attacked and after usa came was kill nazis before the western allies.
-
It was Stalin’s country that beat Germany in WWII. The Russians were willing to paid the price in blood; an awful lot of blood.
-
The Germans beat themselves by the fact that they were the active aggressors in every effort and its hard not to make mistakes by always going after everybody. If Hitler just stopped after June 1940 and went to full war time economy, perhaps the ‘Sitzkrieg’ may have allowed them to maintain things.
If Zhukov came after Germany they would have the entire army cut off as proven by wargames conducted by the Soviet military. It would have been Finland all over again
-
Churchill is catching up to hitler and if i could have 2 votes it would go hitler then stalin. Stalin without his leadership i beleive that the russians would have had a harder time slowing germany and then becoming the agressers if that ever even happened. “but thats why you chose the leaders because they are great” The only thing is who is the greatest “like are polls they are all great but who is the greatest”

FDR is catching up :-o but Hitler hangs on to his lead. I guess Acorn has not registered any old new dealers yet. :wink:
