Ha ha ha Trump Adviser’s Ties Raise Security Questions quote:Trump’s top adviser, Paul Manafort, has spent much of his recent career working for pro-Russian forces in Ukraine, and doing complex deals for an oligarch with close ties to Putin. And while a Democratic senator has already charged Trump is not responsible enough to receive secret information, Manafort’s deep relationships with top pro-Russian figures raise special concerns.

The title, and the reference to Trump, made me assume that the adviser's fashion choices were somehow a security risk. Like they had a target pattern on them, or football codes, or something.

Could any Romanian posters link me some youtube videos of good songs in romanian? Old ones also okay. I want to enjoy the sound of romanian language for my own enjoyment. 'Dragostea din tei' not accepted.

This isn't the only adviser either. Carter Page on Trump's foreign policy team was another Donbass cheerleader caught parroting pro-Russian comments... Politico, March 21, 2016 posted:Carter Page, a former investment banker and global energy consultant who graduated from the Naval Academy, according to his online biography. In discursive online blog postings about foreign policy that invoke the likes of Kanye West, Oprah Winfrey and Rhonda Byrne's self-help bestseller "The Secret," Page has blamed the U.S. for "misguided and provocative actions" toward Russia — notable in light of Trump's friendly words for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Given the first advisors background, expect people working for Trump companies to be told that if he doesn't win they are all fired, and to keep that in mind while voting.

It's more that they defeated fascists to replace them with an equally monstrous regime.

Was it? I thought Stalin alone managed to rack up a higher kill count than the Nazis, not to mention all the suppressions that followed.

The most liberal estimates on victims of Stalin's regime are ~25 million people, including people sentenced to deportation for petty crimes. Which is the same number as the number of soldiers, not even including civilians, who died in WWII. So I would say Hitler 'wins' this one. E: Happy V Day, everyone. Here's the Pope wearing the St. George's ribbon presented to him by a Russian communist a couple of days ago. Obviously, he didn't know that the ribbon is a bit controversial outside of Russia.

The Nazis managed to kill more Soviet civilians in less than four years than Stalin throughout his entire career. (16 - 18 million for the Germans, 4 million due to political violence, forcible resettlements, POW mistreatment... + 6 - 8 million in famines = 10 - 13 million for Stalin).Of course this doesn't include military deaths as well as civilian deaths outside the USSR.

Yeah I really worry for eastern europe and Ukraine if he's elected. Seems the sort of guy who would "respect" that eastern europe is putin's playground and putin earned it by being strong not weak like the europeans.

The secret protocols of the pact that the Soviets signed with the Nazis included an independent Polish state, and the Soviets only intervened after the Polish government fled and the Nazis stopped acknowledging the Polish state's existence. Before the invasion the Soviets offered to put an army on the German border as part of a larger alliance against the Nazis. They weren't "basically together" with the Nazis in invading Poland. Hail Grover.

Before the invasion the Soviets offered to put an army on the German border as part of a larger alliance against the Nazis. Also in 1938 - 1939 the Soviets were quite open about their willingness to go into a pre-emptive war against Germany, as long as France and Britain also committed. Obviously the Western powers weren't forthcoming, so a continued non-aggression with the Nazis was chosen to buy the Soviets some time for rearming and military reform.

Maybe Hitler & co., after having defeated their enemies, would have mellowed out and cancelled their genocide plans? Otherwise Soviet control of half of Europe, while not good, was the lesser evil. Stalin of course was guilty of all kinds of crimes on humanity, but Nazis winning wouldn't have made things easier for Ukrainians et al. Maybe for some nationalities who would have benefitted from divide and conquer policies like Slovaks did at the expense of Czechs (or so they hoped at the time).

Various nations made agreements that enabled Hitler. The Soviets just paid the biggest price for theirs.

Meanwhile on the news on Polish national TV (controlled by PiS): The subtitle reads "(Is) KOD like Hamas?" - KOD organizes legal and peaceful marches through Polish cities against constitution-breaking PiS's ideas.

The Soviets crossed the border on September 17th, 1939. The Polish government fled on September 18th, 1939 (to Romania). The German and Soviet forces met at Brest on September 19th, 1939. The Polish government fleeing was a direct result of the Soviet invasion and resulting encirclement. You have a poor (or extremely selective) understanding of events it seems. In the spirit of totally-not-cooperating the Germans and Soviets held a joint military parade in Brest a few days later. Warbadger fucked around with this message at 23:11 on May 9, 2016 |
