Guest Banky Posted April 29, 2003 Report Posted April 29, 2003 Okay, and I agree with the fact that the Axis couldn't win either. However, if USSR was with them in it, then the story might be different. Exactly, many don't understand how great the Russians once were. Their Communist fervor rallied them in desperate times to overcome insurmountable odds. The Americans recognized this, and refused to fight them after 1945. They simply had too big of an army, and too many citizens willing to lose their lives for communism. Its truly is a scary think, dictatorships. Of course USSR continously shot themselves in the foot until their ultimate demise in 1989. But Germany and Russia, different ideologies aside, would have wiped the Americans, and the over-rated British and French armies.

US knew how great they were, they knew that the Russians were going to be a problem after WWII, and how powerful they were. Even though they wanted to end the war with Japan, they needed to show the Russians how powerful the US can be. They dropped the first one on Aug. 6th(I think), then the second on Aug. 9th to proove that they aren't something to be fucked with. I guess it worked because no real shots were fired in the Cold War, I believe.
Guest Banky Posted April 29, 2003 Report Posted April 29, 2003 US knew how great they were, they knew that the Russians were going to be a problem after WWII, and how powerful they were.

I guess it worked because no real shots were fired in the Cold War, I believe. Ehh, they dropped the bomb on Japan moreso because they needed the end the battle, and sending on ground troops would be too costly. Simply dropping the bomb was the only alternative. In the American's eyes, the Japanese didn't show any humanity during Pearl Harbor, so the well-being of the Japanese was not their number 1 issue. They simply needed to eliminate their pesky opposition who would not surrender. Russia was envious that the American's had the bomb, but in no way did it intimidate them. Stalin knew fair well that the Allies were going to follow Real Politik. They wanted to keep the Great Alliance together under any circumstances. Besides, how could the American's police their behavior? There wasn't any way to truly prevent the Russians from spreading Communism from behind the Iron Curtain. The Marshall Plan was America's non-violent, yet still painful method of punishing those who turned red, and rewarding those who truly needed economic salvation after the war. The Cold War did have a fair bit of blood shed. There were many uprisings and revolutions in Czechoslovakia, Austria, France, and Italy. Many of these countries had radical socialists who wanted to join the USSR regime but were ultimately overthrown by the mass populice who wanted the Marshall payments. The Korean War is one example of it. America did everything they could to combat Communism in the 20th century. They ultimately won the battle in 1989, as the Berlin wall symbolized the end of the Cold War.
Guest Mole Posted April 29, 2003 Report Posted April 29, 2003 Yeah, it was to end the war right away, but it was also to show Russia what the US had. It was more of an intimadation(sp) factor then anything else. Once again, my Prof said this today in class, so I got that from her. I've never been taught that part of history before today, so I am going to take her word on it.

When you attend class, you should listen to everything your professor says...not just the first halff.

Guest The Hamburglar Posted April 29, 2003 Report Posted April 29, 2003 I guess it worked because no real shots were fired in the Cold War, I believe. Is this possibly up there with the Hitler-Vince analogy? I guess if you think the Cold War was free of violence then yeah, you're well on the way to comparing a wrestling promoter to one of the most pivotal figures in 20th century history. The question is, what next?
Guest MrRant Posted April 30, 2003 Report Posted April 30, 2003 You think by changing your name to just mole it will make us somehow forget your trail of moronic posts, threads and comments? I think not fella. Edit: Spelling errors.
Guest Banky Posted April 30, 2003 Report Posted April 30, 2003 You think by changing your name to just mole will make us somehow forget your trail of moronic posts, threads and comments? I think not fella. The dude's got a point *looks at own new nickname* ....nevermind
Guest Mole Posted April 30, 2003 Report Posted April 30, 2003 Actually, I've always wanted to change my name to mole, but I didn't think you could keep all of the posts you had from before. I saw that Banky could change his name, so I asked Dames to do it for me. So in a way I copied you, but not really. And no Rant, you guys can remember just as many great comments that I have made. Besides, I manly post in WWE folder, Movies, and General Chat. Other than that, I never post anywhere else. So I don't see where you see my great comments from.
Guest JMA Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 When comparing something as ridiculous as wrestling to something, Nazi Germany and the Holocaust are strictly off limits. Find something else to compare him to. Preferably French. Only the French could make something like the Reign of Terror funny. Didn't you once have a Iron Cross/Triple H pic in your sig?
MrRant Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 You think by changing your name to just mole it will make us somehow forget your trail of moronic posts, threads and comments? I think not fella. Classic Post.
Dr. Tom Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 You think by changing your name to just mole it will make us somehow forget your trail of moronic posts, threads and comments? I think not fella. Classic Post. Nah. Too many grammatical errors.
kkktookmybabyaway Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 OK, Mr. Grammar Nazi. Say, this makes DrTom like Hitler...
TSA09 Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 Why is Zsasz digging up Mole's old threads and labeling them classic all of the sudden? It's just plain stupid.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 Mole hates Jews, obviously.
the pinjockey Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 "Lets see, Angel/Buffy love relationship; the best love story ever told" This comment from Mole in the BTVS thread in Movies seems to have set him off. Every bumped thread was bumped after this comment was made.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 I think mole meant Adolf and Eva.
Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 I think mole meant Adolf and Eva. They had quite the torrid love affair, Julianna Marga...(?) painted an emotional portryal of her in the CBS mini-series.
Mole Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 Haha, since Zsasz can't respect my opinion, he has to bring back this. Too funny if you ask me.
Mole Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 Mole hates Jews, obviously. Yeah, since my best friend is Jewish.
Guest Boo_Bradley Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 YOU hate YOUR best FRIEND??? wierdo!
Firestarter Posted September 4, 2003 Report Posted September 4, 2003 Haha, since Zsasz can't respect my opinion Few people can. he has to bring back this. Well, he didn't have to. He could've chosen practically any one of your threads. Maybe he just flipped a coin. Too funny if you ask me. It was at the time. Now it's just a tired farce.
bob_barron Posted September 5, 2003 Report Posted September 5, 2003 Yeah, since my best friend is Jewish. Ahhh- The best defence of any good racist.
Firestarter Posted September 5, 2003 Report Posted September 5, 2003 But would he want his sister to marry one?
