Fun fact, roughly 20 million Russians died in WW2, compared to about 400,000 Americans. But I guess that's why we're the ones that won the war, and the Russians were just low energy. Sad!

Yinlock posted:the president still held a blood-grudge that he never got to kill saddam though I think you'll find that being in the majority of the fighting isn't "winning" and that selling guns 'n ammo them jumping in at the last second to be be a part of the peace treaties is far better, which is why the U.S. is one of two winners of ww1.

Day Crew making old rear end wars matter now? Guess what, the good guys won. Who were the good guys? lol whoever the gently caress you want you idiots. The ussr sucked Hitler's dick so hard be died and then they made half his city really lovely and sad until the US used Reganomics saved Germany from a very bad wall. History is written by the winners, bing bong. So so simple.

Especially if they have an R next to their name (see also Kid Rock polling within a couple % of a three-time US senator  ) Dems should run someone with a bunch of Rs in their name, or like R. as their middle initial, in an effort to get votes from confused Republicans.
