That’s patently false. You know how big the backlash is in this country is when we fuck up. Russia on the other hand lies about it(it was A-10s..not us!) and their public never has any clue what’s going on. Ever been to Russia?

This whole “oh yeah! Well you did bad things too” is getting pretty fucking old. You told me you deplore Russia. If that’s the case, you’re here simply to stir up drama. Hence why you get called a piece of shit troll.

You won’t find many Obama supporters here.

Yeah we would have. It just would have been far more costly and lasting significantly longer. Once the US got it’s industry spun up there was no stopping the allies. We supplied multiple countries, with ridiculous amount of munitions, while fighting a 3 front war.

Let’s put it into perspective though. They love to make themselves out as the vanquishers of the evil Nazis while conveniently forgetting they started out the war kissing Hitler’s ass and furthering his objectives.

A neo-nazi party? You ARE one of the moronic Putinbots? Only they post that idiocy. Provide your sources that it’s a neo-nazi party. Well done. That’s the best way to instantly discredit yourself. Next you’re going to tell me there weren’t Russian troops in the Ukraine. Some Ukrainian troops have been seen with…

I’ve read the report about thirty times. It was part of my job. I understand exactly what it says and I didn’t have to take it WILDLY out of context so that it matches up with a made up narrative.

You’re stunningly stupid. First of all you fucking idiot you’re seriously linking wired as your sources? Second of all, your own link says the same fucking thing, we gave them uniforms. Look at their military assets you ridiculous dunce, they aren’t using M1A2's and Apaches. We probably gave them some HMMWVs. That…

I never said it was. Nor did I use the term buildup.

Hahahahhahahahahha. That’s the dumbest thing one of you idiots has posted yet. What projections? The Rand report about the Baltics? Lol you’ve taken it so far out of context it’s stunning. But that’s kind what you idiots do isn’t it?

That’s ridiculous. I was one of those people, in Georgia, doing FID with their “commandos”. We had absolutely zero intention of trying to train them up to fight with Russia. Nor have we really armed them. We gave them BDUs, that’s all I personally saw with my own eyes. All of their equipment was manufactured in the…

They did their job wonderfully. Supporting the fast carrier groups. Just because it had the same AAA as the Baltimores doesn’t mean that it’s bad. Both ships were on par or better, than the SD and NC Battleships. Only the Iowas were significantly better AAA platforms. Given the need for AAA, especially during the late…

What post are you referring to? Hope not Alaska. The design was a bit redundant in the first (but seen as a necessity at the time because of german pocket battleships/battlecruisers) place but her AAA was murderous and with her fantastic radar, she directed carrier aircraft against incoming aircraft dozens of times…

Hell yes. The Des Moines were absolute monsters. Her 8" guns had a higher rate of fire than the 6" guns on ships like the Sverdlov-class cruisers. They punched FAR above their weight with a great armor scheme, range, and speed to boot.

What’s the last pic? Reactors?

Museum ship Mikhail Kutuzov (I’ve been on board ‘him’).

I don’t have a big issue with this (other than increased militarization that is rarely ever good for anyone, anywhere).

Needs more Murmansk ;) Sadly I can’t find any good pics except from a videogame.

Yeah I fucked up. Little too much bourbon last night got me to bite. Those two especially I’ve been going out of my way to ignore.
