COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE GUARDIAN
They have every right to celebrate.
The WWII victory was without parallel.
Just as individual parts of the titanic struggle were.
Stalingrad was the greatest battle in all of human history.
Kursk was the greatest tank battle ever fought.
The Soviet losses were an unimaginable 27 million killed.
In Russia World War II is not called that. It is called The
Great Fatherland War, and rightly so.
Three out of four Germans killed were killed by the Soviets.
The West's efforts seem almost paltry when compared.
For example, the United States lost about 300 thousand men
on all fronts in the entire war.
It is shameful that today America goads Germany to again put
troops on Russia's border.
It is also shameful that, under American pressure, European
leaders aren't all making an appearance in Moscow.

Insane comment.
The ones who saw the Russians as "expendable
components" were the West.
They wanted Russia bled white before making a serious effort
themselves.
