He said he thought that if they'd invaded they'd have been successful. And it's not hard to make a case for that. Forced back across the channel from Dunkirk, darkest hour and so on, no allies... yeh what happened to France could easily have happened here

Is this what you actually think? That supporting Ukraine is betraying Stalin?

Yes, I would tend to agree. I've read SS-GB so am a bit of an expert in the field myself.

Not a Girly Swot, but I like them....
I disagree - the Germans wouldn't just have a problem getting their invasion fleet across the channel, they would have had a continuing problem in keeping it supplied in fuel, ammunition, and food.
As ever, if you want to test something, turn it around: look at D-Day, look at the logistics effort it took to keep the Allied Armies going in Normandy. Germany never came within a thousand miles of being able to keep an army in field in the face of opposition by the Royal Navy.
Indeed you can see how Germany tried, and failed disasterously, to keep an army supplied by air - at Stalingrad.

That figure is a favourite of dishonest Black Book of Communism wankers who basically pin all the deaths in WWII on Stalin.
Make no mistake, Stalin was a authoritarian piece of shit who got a whole bunch of people killed, but we can at least avoid quoting rabid historical revisionists while criticising his legacy.

A reconsideration of the extent of excess mortality resulting from the policy of forced industrialization in the USSR between 1929 and 1949 is presented. The study is based on recently published, adjusted serial data on natality in the 1930s and on data from the suppressed census of 1937. These data suggest that excess mortality due to Stalin's policies, including the forced labor camp system, may have involved a minimum of 12.6 million and a maximum of more than 23.5 million deaths. Various alternative estimates using different methods and data sources are compared.
ok well that me told then ok so more around the 24million mark

Fair enough! I'll probably buy you a pint instead.

I do believe they are using a nuclear power station as a military base, which is extremely dangerous and kinda worse.

Well it just shows the paucity of much of your argument. you just can't accept that the obvious truth is it's the Ukrainians who are shelling the plant. Maybe because you are holding firm to the line but maybe you actually believe the Russians would shell a plant they occupy. If it's the latter then I worry about you. Be good to get a mailing list of people like you. Sell you fancy plates with Zelensky on for fifty quid a go.

I don't tend to post memes on serious threads, nor do I normally 'like' them when others do, you moron.
But, you carry on with your moronic posts on this thread, and making a complete twat of yourself, I am sure you'll get a reaction from a few other morons, like spooky plank.

We do. And we are paying a small part of that debt by supporting with arms and money part of what was the USSR, Ukraine…

This^^ the only way sealion made sense would have to assumed the UK would have folded straight away. But that is to look at it from a 21st century perspective where the UK is basically Britain and the six counties. In the 4Os it was the Empire too. It’s doubtful the Royal Navy would have folded either given its size. So quite easy to imagine a German army stranded in the South East being cut up by half a million Indians armed with ‘Canadian’ equipment coming down from ships in Liverpool … I might write a book…

To be fair it was medieval tactics from the off until the west got more involved. Besieged cities pummled with artillery was pretty much Vlads opening gambit..
