)Your bloke was right. The Nazis killed the Jews, but they also killed off many Ukrainians for the crimes of being Slavs and/or "reds", and then after the Nazis were pushed back out of Ukraine the Soviet troops from the likes of Siberia etc (The USSR's leaders were always quite careful to not have garrisons of "native" troops in the various states if they could help it) were used by the Soviets to liquidate Ukrainians for the "crime" of having been invaded (what your chap called "collaboration").dylanredefined said:I went to the ukraine a couple of years ago .On exercise one of our missions was to capture a ruined village so I spent half an hour or so ona hillside shooting at a ruined church .Eventually got down into village had tea basically church tower some large dugouts for tanks (ex soviet training area) piles of rubble and mounds of earth all over the place . Asked the locals about the history of the place and told him about imber village ( locals kicked out of village in 1940s never allowed back ) This place gemans came in killed the jews
Russians came back killed everyone else as collabrators .In his words the defintion of collabrator was being alive .We felt pretty bad about exercising over
the site of murdered village . The ukrianian just shrugged too many places in his country to feel bad about them all .Not many laughs in ukrainian history![]()

what a dreadfully stupid post.
And isn't it so easy to get an asinine kneejerk reaction out of you, one disparaging NA reference and the pavlov's dog in you takes over.![]()
ETA; johnny, everything you've posted - in all their reactionary, kneejerk glory - on this forum, puts you so very much more in the Daily Mail camp than me.
Or for that matter, any other regular poster, apart from pbman (who - as an illiterate - doesn't count). You ARE the DM target audience profile, made flesh and words.
So err, what does that say for you?

And the response came after your 'book learnin' comment. You choose the playground, and I'll play accordingly.

Like I said earlier, I envy people who live in a world of such certitude and rectitude, kind of.

Before and during, yep. You have to remember that the Yankees were already slating anyone and anything to do with communism by the 1930s, although, with their usual hypocrisy, they were happy enough to have the USSR as an ally against the Axis powers.Uncle Joe. that was the name given to the tached one by US propagandists during the second World War wasn't it?

I mean, if lawyers have to be "brainy" how the fuck did Tony Blair get to be one!!![]()

Johnny Canuck2 said:Well, there you go. You can't argue convincingly, but there's still apparently a chance that you're brainy....
Not a bad attempt at a putdown for a "lawyer", Johnny, although pretty feeble for anyone who isn't cursed that way.so we are agreed, yes? you are a perfect fit, a perfectly reactionary, kneejerk fit for the Daily mail's target audience?Johnny Canuck2 said:It's funny how you've got me stamped and paid without even meeting me.
