That's a really bad example considering what happened next.

Russia still lost a huge amount of territory.

Which they more than made up for by completely smashing the Wermacht.

It took them 30 years.

Japan?

The Americans were responsible for beating them in WWII and they certainly handed you guys your asses.

Try again.

And btw, we never fought vs. US except in Korea, Vietnam and their intervention to Russian civil war (in all three cases they were beaten. Afghanistan was a stalemate).

We paid them back in WWII and btw, the first time when Russians captured Berlin it was in 18 century.

Next try, please.

I saw a show on the History Channel which said that there are only 2 American SUVs in Siberia.

Cold wars are for pussies.

We never went to war because we both had nukes. If it wasn't for that we would of wasted your sorry ass

Pity suckers.

[Jon Shafer]

Hey, no need to be bitter just because you don't have big SUVs.

The story that the English archers wrought havoc on the French is just a story. I've seen various demonstrations that show that it was almost impossible for such arrows to penetrate the armour of the time.

Given the English gave the French two other good thumpings like that (at Crecy and one other battle), I disbelieve you.
