OK, y'all know me. I usually vote to keep people around; I think the last person I agreed to get rid of was Pavel. Stas Bush is really starting to grate, though. I don't mind that he disagrees with me. Heck, I disagree with near everyone here at some point or another. This guy's not even really debating, though. He just sits there and says "shut up, that's not what Russian government or Liddel Hart said." He said to read Zhukov. The moment I pointed out Zhukov was who I had been quoting he ignored my argument completely. In my opinion, he is acting the troll, and should be labeled accordingly. However, I do know I'm somewhat hot-headed, so tell me whether I'm reading the situation right or if I just need more sleep. The thread is here, but be warned that it runs for 3 1/2 pages (so far).

I really havent seen any of his posts yet, so I can't decide yet.
Do you have the URLs?

It's the "Stas Bush and Skimmer" thread in Politics. And yes, VI for no debatey-watey! I've heard of Russians ignoring allied contributions during WWII, but the Cold War is over, people!

Click on the blue "here" in my first post. The pointless part starts about 2/3 of the page down, and pretty much involves me, Shep, and Stas (couple others also, but I think we've pretty much filled up 2 1/2 pages covering the same points multiple times)

Cold War is over.
It would be strange for me, whose family suffered under Soviet commandature, to be pro-russian if there's no point in being so.
But maybe you should pay more attention to what I say. I provide a variety of sources and don't ignore facts and numbers. And if you hate someone just because he disagrees with "Good America saves the world" policy, it's more of pride than of sense.
Frank Hipper: personally for you: Russians never ignored these contributions. But giving them over-importance is as senseless as saying: "Russia helped USA a lot by giving them deficite supplies, or by destroying the 1.000.000 Kwantun army". See? Don't give a fact more importance, than it deserves.

I was speaking of official histories in which no contributions are listed. Things, no doubt, have changed, but when the Murmansk convoys are ignored in official literature, as they were, a parallel is inescapable.

Frank Hipper
You think that past ignorance counts? Oh, easy. The Russian effort in war with the Reich was also minimalized during the Cold War. Does that mean we have to stick to this?
Of course not. The Murmansk convoys are really a great thing. I haven't enjoyed the PQ-17 thing, although. And the numbers still stay.

Hey, I noticed... What are you angry at? I never advised you to read anything. This post you are referring to at is adressed to Darth Fanboy.

I've read it all....

Both of you -and in this case Zhukov- is wrong.

While you overestimate the material help the US gave to the CCCP, Stash underestimate it. I'm not talking about direct numbers.
I'm talking about it's importance.

Although german forces were better trained and equipped at the start of Barbarossa, the whole campaign was futile and waste of time.
By the time the germans attacked the Soviet Union the fate of the Third Reich was sealed.

There were only one question. When will it be over?

That's where the Land-Lease program came in the picture. That speeded up the process very much.

...and of course other things as well.(Crippling the fuel production, the Ardennes offence etc.)

So I say these actions, battles, programs are significant but they were only additional nails in the Third Reich's coffin.

Stas Bush doesn't deserve the VI title relating his WW2 commentaries.

I tried to show him the numbers instead of sophisticating, but he didn't consider them and called me a troll... Thanks for appreciating my comments.

Exactly. It's useful, but not decisive.

After reading TEN FUCKING PAGES of that flaming piece of shit, I agree. I was too quick to vote, and recant.
But he has some seriously strange concepts on the direction the U.S. is taking this war and it's aftermath, and is not overly rational about stating them.
But this is SD.net....

Jaa-a, pretty bad, but I don't think that he's behaviour warrants a VI title yet.

Frank Hipper
Thanks Actually, the concepts of why US took the war do not matter for me much. I heard them leaders of Germany, France and Russia spoke of breaking the international law because "the changing of political regime is the exclusive right of the citizens of the country" (I quote that from Putin's speech). So this is the basic case. Oil and everything else is not so important.
P.S. Flaming? Huh Brennt, Rebellen!

He's not anywhere near as bad as Axis

Let him be, gentlemen

Hameru
Who's Axis

Yes. He dodged every issue and shifted the topic to even more bullshit about WW2. This is a person who argued that because there where no protests in Iraq, they must like Saddam.

Axis Kast, AKA. Vympel's Racquetball.

Bleh, can't believe I missed everything....

I don't happen to think that Stas is a VI. He has strong opinions that he defends and puts forth but if that were enough to qualify as a VI I think we should ALL have that title. No VI is reserved for that special breed of Fucktard that just is too stupid to live. I say no to VI Stas Bush.

Title or VI the fucker. He's an ignorant drunken Russian
who keeps thinking that Za Rodina won WWII Singlehandedly,
even when presented with facts to the contrary...

"Jingoistic retard" fits him right.

Facts? MKSheppard, mind what you say: you got some politician statements and evading of points: I present the numbers which are more of a fact than anything.
Single-hand? Well why don't you apologize now, because I never said such a fuck. You did your part with Japan: now you go look at the numbers again, use a calculator or your head and than come back.

i may not agree with much of anything he says, but i say just leave him alone. he has the right to say whatever he wants as long as it isn't insulting or obnoxious, and so far he has not croosed the line into either.

He dodged most every point on the thread in question and then just spewed more bullshit on other topics. If he defended them in a non Darkstar manner he wouldn't be a VI.

I'm with Skimmer. He answers questions with questions. He can say whatever he wishes, but nobody can reply to him and voice their own opinions.

No.
Not really stupid, not trolling.

He's slippery and self-contradictory and has a lot of weird ideas... I say not yet, but keep the option open if he persists. Right now he's borderline at most.
