Grumpiness over current events in the Ukraine. Apparently the Russkies have in retaliation shut down a museum which featured WW2 from Normandy to the Elbe. Both gestures equally hollow and meaningless IMO. <shrug>

The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

Sadly, about 20 million people. Which ironically is almost the same amount of people that died by Stalin's regime. Elevating Stalin was a dangerous mistake during and after WWII and I'm proud the UK and the US aren't making the same mistake with Putin.

If any country displayed their objection properly, it was Germany with Merkel not attending the celebration but paying respects at a war memorial in Russia. While I appreciate the sacrifice the individual Russian soldier made, I have no love for their leaders then or now.

The Russians could not have defeated the Narzzies without Stalin.

Russia was held together by one man Stalin before during and after WWII.

Your statement is just as silly as saying The Germans would have won the war if Hitler had not come to power.

And if Stalin had not come to power another Soviet leader would have followed Lenin. Perhaps the Soviet Union would have been better prepared militarily without Stalin's purges. As soon as you go into "what if" scenarios nothing is certain. And with regard to your second sentence I think you're talking to yourself. Seek help.
