The question is, why would Stalin broker a peace that did not benefit him at all, since you seem to think the Japanese were inclined to think he might?

“Why Russia declaring war on Japan was influential to the Japanese high command was because they saw Russia, and were in contact with Russia, as the a neutral party that could broker a conditional Japanese surrender”

BOO-URNS

Pure savagery:

Isn’t that scenes from season 3?

Nobody will ever top this scene. Ever.

He’s right though, the Red Army would have rampaged through the Japanese home islands in a way the U.S. forces wouldn’t be free to do, and given the Japanese extreme abhorrence to surrender, there is a good chance most of the population would have been eventually wiped out, including their emperor.

I have no problem with Roy winning, he never fails to make me laugh. And its not like he hasn’t put in the time at the show. But I thought Desi was actually really good in her spots.

Desi Lydac was really good. I love her.

“All they need is an offense, defense, and some rule changes.”

I was just going to say, how on earth did the Mimbo not make the list????

Ford continues to just amaze me. They had 2 killer models released within the past 5 years (Maverick, Bronco) that everybody wanted, and they keep trying their darnedest to make sure that nobody will ever want to step foot in a Ford dealership again.

I blame Wilson for not telling Tim the right thing to do in the final 10 minutes.

You know, I never thought about that, but that is a damn good idea.

“Well, I guess its back to jail for me!” (grunting noises)

EB&D had its moments, but I agree, unlike most people, its my least favorite of the Jody/Danny HBO trilogy.
