With whom?

You think Canada won the Cold War?

We won it (and lost it at the same time) - NOBODY ELSE.

NATO won, Canada founded NATO, ergo Canada won.

Russia lost. You guys are the ones in disarray and accepted capitalism and democracy.

Canada kicked your ass without even lifting a finger. How embarrassing is that for Russia?

Considering that you speak nonsense - not embarrassing at all.

That's all I need to sleep at least a couple of hours.

It's time to go to bed.

I learned your language in school, nearly 20 years ago (so it pretty much sucks now), because that was the language of enemy. The idea was that it will make interogation of English speaking invaders much easier.

Believe it or not when I was in the army they offered to send me to school for a year to learn a language. I said I'd take Russian or German but the army told me neither language was useful enough for the army to pay people to learn them and they wanted to force me to take Persian Farsi. I asked about Japanese, Chinese, or Korean but once again was told Persian or nothing.

If I was in the military in the 80's instead of the 90's and early 00's then I likely could have gotten permission for Russian or German but once the cold war ended the demand just dropped to nothing and they'd no longer pay people to learn those languages.

Plus the powers that be knew knowledge of Farsi would be valuable.

I do believe it. It's good to know the language of your most probable enemy. That's the reason why we learned your language in 80's. Surelly nowadays our students learn English for different reason - because it's a language of international communication (yeah, right you should think so. In reality we are planning an invasion, of course ).

p.s. Wait a second... you speak Persian Farsi? My respect, sir.

Thank you

[Serb]

Well, the championship is over for the team USA. My condolences USA, you almost made a comeback. Great fight! .

My congrats, Finland. Good game

Now we will play vs. Finland in semis again.
Beware, Pekka, we seek revenge for the Moscow 2007 semis. This time you won't be so lucky. No overtime for you this time. With all my respect for the Finnish hockey, there could be only one winner. We are angry, but cool and we are comming after you.

Tommorow will be a really exiting game, I predict.

Leeeeeet's get ready to raaaaaaaaaamble!

Okay, how did Russia win the Cold War? I'm interested in hearing this...

Despite that I am a USSR adept, I have to admit that modern Russia is different now, much more free and prosperious (with reards to the standard of living).
We, our society, demanded changes in 80s, early 90s.

We changed our country (surelly in a stpuid, destructive way, by collapsing it), not you or anyone else. It was our own choice to turn to democracy and free market, not yours or anyone else.
We weren't defeated, we just changed for our own good, by our own will. That's why we won.
At the same time we lost, because our country collapsed. It wasn't really nescessary. USSR needed reforms, but such reforms could be done without collapse of the country (look at China).

p.s. Sorry about this 4:0 Bavarian disaster. I really feel pitty for Khan. He is a legendary goalie, one of my favorites. And you have nearly a half your national team in Bavaria, so, sure I knew we will win, but didn't expect a 4:0 win.

That's perfectly fine, and it was not a single goal too many. Bavaria needs that from time to time. It's a much needed lesson in humility, which at home nobody is able to deliver.

You lost because you saw what we had out west was better. The Cold War was a cultural war more than anything else. And just like Civ, our culture overpowered yours...

1) YOUR, CANADIAN CULTURE??? WTF is Canadian culture?
2) If it was a war where one side was defeated, can you please provide a quote from the surrender agreement?
