Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How is this war going to end ?

In the scale of empires, 70 to 80 years ain’t much of an accomplishment. More like a fart in the wind.

The Polish government at the time acted stupidly. They should have joined Czechoslovakia with backing of the French and attacked Germany. Instead they did nothing when Hitler took Austria and Czechoslovakia. When everyone assumed the Poles were allies of Germany they came crawling to French and British for help (one hiding behind Maginot line and other a sea power). After Hitler took Czechoslovakia had enough military hardware to strike the poles from three sides. Current Polish government is repeating mistakes from the past.

anyone read Putin's address which he made yesterday? interesting.

Exactly. And look at what Russia and China are up to today...

So, when does NATO invade the western half of Ukraine to “protect it from Russian aggression”?

Kerry is worried how this might fug up his grift.

Well, actually the burden of empire was more or less handed off to us by the Brits about 60 years ago when they became too broke to maintain it. It should have died after WW II, but we couldn't help ourselves. Must be part of our Brit-spawned DNA.

Wow. Unbelievable.

The American Empire has been disassembled by the globalists. America now lacks a manufacturing base which could be utilized to fight a global war.

Now, the globalists are attempting to ignite a global war which would cause the destruction of America.

That Leftist self importance defined there.

Fuggin' idiots all.

Stolen elections have consequences.

We can't even get our own pickups off the assy line now.

As long as Russians keep thugs like Putin in power, it will never end. This is why we need to stay out.

It’s a damned shame, no?

Slow Joe and the G7 "leaders" are having a virtual meeting, so I'm guessing surrender is close !

Nothing makes the world more dangerous than having a corrupt, feckless, senile old fart in charge of the most powerful ( for the time being) nation .

I think we’re operating on inertia which is quickly waning; we already are destroyed it just hasn’t been fully realized yet.

On the other hand, that Turley piece that stevelyn posted above presents a viewpoint with more potential for optimism. It’s well worth watching.

Indeed.




Poles are in no danger of annihilation. Russia may be able to beat Ukraine about the head, but they don;t have the numbers much beyond that. End state likely to be "independent" Donbass and pro-Russian Ukranian gov't tied tightly to Russia in every way.

That empire was christened in 1865, not 1945.



1. True, the Poles had actual cavalry units at the outset of WW2. So did USSR and IIRC, did Germany.

2. EVERY combatant except the Americans, relied on horse-drawn logistics for the last link of the supply chain to the troops. ALL of them. And the USSR could not have fought WW2 without American trucks.

3. People forget that a Germany vs Poland match-up was not considered a shoo-in for Germany. A quick and dirty list of wars/conflicts Poland participated in between 1900 and 1939:

1905 Polish revolution squashed by Imperial Russia L
1914-1918 WWI, Poland emerged a polity partly due to their own devices. W
1918-1919-ish Poles fought Imperial Germany, Wiemar Germany, Czechoslovakia, Ukrainian Commies/Bolshies with the following record: W, D, L, W
1919-1921: Poland beats back various Soviet armies and beats the Red Army on the Vistula, stopping Soviet incursion into central Europe butt-cold. Poland thumps on Lithuania BIG W
1938 Poland wins the rematch with Czechoslovakia W


In 1939 Poland was coming off a big win vs Czechoslovakia, which was not backwards, industrially. And the Czechs had good armaments to the point the Germans used Czech tanks in the blitz vs France later.

Poland suffered from its perennial weakness: abso-freaking-lutely awful leadership (aristocracy, dictator, or otherwise). Pig-headed, foolish, and belligerent, Poland's leadership walked them into a calamity with the urging of the UK and France.
