Re: Just saw a history fact on Discovery...Prior to D Day the

When we have the time we can chat more. It has taken a lot of reading between the lines and and other perspectives, but once you break out of the Western prism man does the world look different. I'll give you two examples. In Russia, WW2 is simply known as the Great Patriotic War. To them, everything else was a sideshow. Why? Well, first this:

x = British Casualties in WW2
x = French Casualties in WW2
x = American Casualties in WW2
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx = Russian Casualties in WW2

Each x is half a million men. That's a 54-1 ratio. 27 million vs half a million. So when you talk sacrifice to them, it means something a little different. And those loses were AFTER the purges of the 30's. I've got a buddy who told me that if you were born between 1920-1923 in Russia and lived, you basically had no peers. That entire segment of the population was virtually wiped out. And that was after we invaded them in 1919 and supported the Whites.

Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War - Wikipedia

Naturally, the Reds weren't very happy with us about that.

Then there's the scale of the Russian Invasion. If you overlaid the German invasion of Russia over an American map, it would look like this. 3 million Germans invaded the entire length of the Atlantic seaboard, from Maine to Florida. In 6 months, they capture everything up to Denver (Moscow), which was only saved by weather and by railing in troops from Los Angeles (Siberia). That's every city, every town, every factory (except the ones you sent to Utah) The next year, they invade New Mexico (Caucaucus) to try and get the oil, but are defeated at the Battle of El Paso (Stalingrad). Then over the next 3 years, you push them back to Washington (Berlin) and finally win your country back. Each year from 1941-1945 there was a battle with more than a million men on each side. The battle of Moscow was as big as the state of Connecticut. The Campaign for Stalingrad was as big as the state of Florida. I mean, the scale in both space and men is virtually unimaginable. It's getting late so I'll have leave you with that teaser till next time. But I'm looking forward to it! <img border=

tabbyplague,

You are 110% correct. American Corporate Greed has been responsible for so many American Soldiers death and severe injuries all for the sake of cheap labor, politicians selling this country out to some of the worst countries in the world (China, Russia, Middle Eastern and Asian countries to) all for the sake of the almighty dollar. An some extra money in their pockets. It’s really sad that the United States has allowed big tech and other big corporations to sale its out its own Citizens and its soul to the devil himself for $$$$$! President Trump tried to even the trade agreements with China and other countries to give the American workers a chance to rebuild this country’s manufacturing foundation. The CCP’s goal is the destruction of the United States at any cost.

I watched a documentary where they projected computer simulated wars between China and the US, Russia against the US and China / Russia together against the US. We come out on top every time, Thank God. But they will keep trying to defeat us. This is why our Military must be the best in the world. This is why we must stop giving the CCP and Russia some of our high tech secrets and high tech information.

I don’t know if it’s been proven as 100% fact yet but it has been reported by NewsMax and other more trustworthy media sources that it appears the CCP purposely let Covid out of the laboratory to weaken a strong US economy under President Trump.

When Sam Walton was still running Walmart he was big on buying American Products. There were signs throughout the store American Made with Pride. His kids took over and are killing the Golden Goose in the US. I might be wrong but seems like I heard that Walmart was bigger in China than in the US. Sometimes I just do without some products unless they made in the USA!

Your post hit the bullseye! People would rather buy cheap crap from foreign markets then support their own country’s products. You can find many products made in the USA but you have to search for them. They may cost more but I look at it as an investment in a great Stock! And in the future survival of our country.

Will American Greed be our downfall?? Look what big money is doing to college sports!!!
