I'd still rather be from the country that kicked Hitler's bitch ass than the one whose leader's lips were stapled to his ballsack until the Germans weren't winning anymore. Where are your countrymen in that photo?

Russia deserves credit for being willing to throw men into a meat grinder while the United States bankrolled her war effort and kept her from getting her shit kicked in by the Wehrmacht. And if you disagree with me, you disagree with Field Marshal Zhukov and are therefore obviously wrong.

Lol calm down, Russia do deserve credit they really dealt with a shit show, a lot of them died, the leader ship treated the troops as a meat grinder.

Maybe make less assumption and have a dialogue.
