No, I’d call you a troll and a liar. If you were, in fact, born there, then it was in the post-Soviet era and you are a wanker jerking-off in exactly the same way as Neo-Nazis jerk-off over a Nazi Germany of which they were never a part.
No use shouting at me. I didn’t ask to be born here.
But seriously, who do you think you are yelling at? What, in your mind, makes any perticular person on this board directly responsible for any of the above?
A ScrotumPoleistan?
Hawaii. That’s where all the cool commies are from nowadays.
Nope, just a tool.
Now that I think about it, why would a fellow who proclaims himself a Soviet not claim he was born in Belorusskaya Sovetskaya Sotsalisticheskaya Respublika?
You’re a liar.
Once again, if you expect me to start showing you my old red-bound Soviet passport at this point, you’re out of luck. Believe whatever you want.
I will point out once more that you are contradicting my own heritage because, apparently, a self-identified Communist that actually grew up in the Soviet Union is just too much for your neurons to handle. I don’t know why, but I find that slightly humorous. Given your dogmatic ignorance, no wonder your country is such a nasty shit-hole.
Having said that, I am done discussing my history with you. Back to the topic, if you will.
I will call you… Æthelred. Æthelred the Unready.
It’s already taken, but with your grasp of history I’m not too worried that you’ll notice.
Quite right. From my POV, the topic is DNFTT. Good day.
Say hello to my brown and hairy starfish.
Because it was not a country, but rather a component of it, you dummy. When you go abroad, do you tell people that you’re from the US, or do you tell them that you’re from State X?
Honestly, if you were to think these things through rather than vomiting them onto these boards, you wouldn’t need to ask such stupid questions.
Fuk Zod.
The OP should just kneel before me. Seriously, either defeat The Empire or embrace it. OP can be right all he wants, my money says my empire can kick his empire’s ass twice a week for the next 30 years.
I will call you…Tim.
My understanding is that he is more correctly referred to as Æthelred the Ill-Advised. Possibly even more fitting that way.
Um. You haven’t seen any Monty Python, have you? Should take the time at some point - you clearly have plenty of it, and you might be happier as a result.
As for the Marshall Plan - there is a bit of a difference, I think, between assisting democratically elected governments and imposing reconstruction upon occupied states. (Of course, we did occupy the Axis powers - but, well, so did you. And we continued the Marshall Plan long after we’d handed power back to elected governments.)
The “difference” is that after the newly liberated nations embraced our glorious form of government, we gave them completely free aid, no strings attached. Americans, being Americans, instead found a coldhearted way to make a quick buck off of human suffering.
Also, it’s worth pointing out that you’re STILL occupying Germany, Italy, and Japan.
Originally the same thing: “Unready” is from the saxon Unræd “lacking (good) advice”. From ræd, meaning “counsel” or “advice”.
It’s a pun on his first name, which means “noble advice” (æðele, meaning “noble”, and ræd).
So literally, something like “King Nobel-Advice, the Badly-Advised”.
Actually, the accent usually gives the American bit away, and people ask me what state I’m from. New Hampshire represent!
Eh - he’s a fool and fanatic, but I’m not sure this really establishes he’s a liar. I don’t tell people I went to college in the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, either.
Has this guy said how old he is?
Then you built all those nice walls and shot people who tried to see what was on the other side of them.
Really? We have an average life expectancy that’s 11 years longer than in your country.
We have better roads than you do.
We have a better military than you do.
Our entertainment industry dwarfs the rest of the world’s combined.
We have better agriculture than you do (remember eating our grain exports when you were growing up because your country couldn’t keep up in the Cold War and feed its people at the same time…yeah).
We have better technology than you do.
We never murdered our own citizens the way your country did, and we’re the barbarians?
Your country (including pre-Soviet Union) has a longer systematic warlike history than ours does.
Your nation’s politicians murder each other in coups and for intrigue, we have a voting democracy.
We are the greatest Republic the world has ever known. Your country, not so much. Hey, freedom of speech is pretty nice, isn’t it? How long have you been enjoying that, about 20 years now?
And please with the racism. Are you going to sit there and act like your country has never suppressed its ethnic minorities, Jews, Dagestanis, Chechens, Mongoloids?
How’s your alcoholism rate? I hear its pretty low.
You’re a buffoon, get your weak-sauce rant outta here.
