{From the 5/9/20 Oped Page of WSJ} Putin’s Myths About the Soviets and World War IIThe Kremlin obscures Stalin’s cooperation with Hitler. The final defeat of Nazi Germany 75 years ago closed the bloodiest theater in humanity’s most violent war. Nowhere was the cost of the conflict higher than...

63? Good lord. That’s still ridiculously young. I counsel people on retirement finances for a living. If you’re in good health you better have a nice sized portfolio to live off SS and savings for 30+ years. Also, my experience is that most people are better off, mentally, working for well...

“I'm just going to let the clock run on the rest of my life while I sit alone with my hobbies.” That sounds wonderful -really?

Its humorous all the articles that come immediately after the draft, purporting to rate or grade the performance of each team's picks. Meanwhile, each player follows his unique career path. Some surprise to the upside, some to the downside. A few are stellar from the get go. Some get better...

Some examples of might Russian military might! 🤪🤪🤪🤪

How did the Soviets lose in Afghanistan? - Gorbachev announced that Soviet troops would begin to be pulled back. They completed it in mid'89. Since Soviet Union pulled back their troops abandoning their mission to establish a friendly rule in Afghanistan, it was loss for them. In a year, the...

Just some of the horrible crimes engaged in by Soviet forces in Afghanistan. Afghanistan (1979–1989) Soviet–Afghan War § Destruction in Afghanistan An Afghan village destroyed by the Soviets in the 1980s Scholars Mohammad Kakar, W. Michael Reisman and Charles Norchi believe that the Soviet...

https://www.voanews.com/europe/women-recall-hell-soviet-war-afghanistan Outtakes While the war grew unpopular at home, Soviet troops and support staff in Afghanistan mostly focused on survival rather than politics. While Afghans largely saw Moscow's involvement as a hostile foreign...

What say we start a thread on this conflict? It’s really an amazing story. A motley array of rag tag citizen soldiers chases out one of the supposed mightiest armies in the world. Below are a few stats I found of interest from Wiki. noteworthy: See how many Russian helicopters were destroyed...

Whatdya mean? Today's players are very loyal: To their "personal brand" and, of course, the almighty dollar! Do not be misled. PS: The epitome of this kind of "loyalty" in pro sports is LeBron.

Agreed. Rarely have I so disliked a character as much as Alpha. Her death will make me a little more interested in the show. Now, I just wish theyd dispense with the ridiculous notion that a nine year old girl is a wiser and better fighter than most adults.

The WD is living up to its name, and heritage. It was born from a comic, and basically can’t escape its origins. Beta was wearing a Kevlar vest when basically no one has a working gun anymore? Judith can confidently shoot a 44 magnum round, despite having almost no ammo with which to practice...

I think 49er fans are getting a nibble of the pain Falcons (and UGA fans) have endured in the last few years, where a seeming championship victory is, right at the very end, unprobably wrested from your grasp. The 49er reversal wasn’t as extreme as the Falcons/Dawgs, but surely bites just the same.

Shanahan loses Super Bowl leads at a Championship level.

Funny, I cant see the posts of one particular Forum member when Im logged in. But I can see them otherwise. He continues to spew misinformation, FSK talking points and outright lies, like a good Roosskie operative. Yawn. Everyone knows Russia is the single greatest threat to the Free World...

LOL. I presume your ******* are all still in a wad from the NLCS game 20 plus years ago in which former Pirate and slow motion runner Sid Bream slid into home in the bottom of the ninth to win the series for the Braves and advance to the WS. I was at that game. It was a super exciting moment...

College football in the state of Alabama is its own thing. Religion would be too mild a word. Funny thing is there are lots of "divided" households in Alabama, ala, where family members went to both Auburn and Alabama. They make it work. It is true Southerners take college football seriously...

Could be because of how the last super bowl ended in which Shanahan played a significant role.

Some truth. But as I recall the Pats and R Sox had a decade or three of missed opportunities, near misses and wait til next years. Then the worm turned. Lady Fortune is a capricious *****, no doubt. But I expect she will cast her gaze this way, eventually. (Wanta talk tire fire look at the...
