Poll: Scariest thing in existence

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.

@General:

The U.S. has a obligation to fulfill. We have to stand by the Budapest Memorandum. Nations borders aren’t being redrawn by force period. World stability is in question if force of arms can redraw nations borders in the 21st century.

I agree. Kosovo and Crimea are a different story, but drawing new borders in the middle of Ukraine and bolding them with tanks is simply not ok.

USA has to help Ukraine with money, weapons and equipment. Ukraine does not have much weapons, but it has millions of people ready to defend their homeland.

Also it is important to say that all Ukrainian russian speaking population must be protected from discrimination.

Whatever makes ´em happy…

“Know your enemy”….I can think of no better reason.

Rob.

Just let us know when you get up to 25 bars a day, ok?

By the way, what chocolate do you eat?

I would like to visit both of those areas, I don’t know when though.

Without Oil, sure Saudi Arabia wouldn’t have one of the most brutal Governments in the world, but the whole region might become like East Africa.

@dabaron:

The term “Palestine” was invented by the Romans as a means to dishonor the Jews, because they hated them. They wanted to file the Jews and the Arabs together in a land called “Palestine” instead of Israel. So really, the “Palestinians” are just Jordanian Arabs that have lived in the region since the great dispersion and, in my opinion, have no rightful claim to the land whatsoever. Now let’s get back to the topic, unusual stuff.

You’re quite right, dabaron. “Palestine” was what Emperor Hadrian named Judea (omdern day Israel) after the second revlot against Rome in 135 CE. It came from the extinct nation of the Philistines. Hadrian hoepd that by naming Judea and all its cities after extinct nations, he could eventually make the Jews extinct. He failed.
