i shit my pan­ts

also silly euro's needs to be said here

LOL

oops, didnt see ya there
my bad

Le Triomphant

Funny how they name a sub after something they have never had

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

france had quite succesful military history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_history_of_France

though i hate french and wouldn't even visit it, despite its a beautiful country, but ppl are creeps

thats wikipedia, its unreliable

LOL

I dont see much there that makes them very successful

wow france has a nuclear sub?

i dont see much victories in usa military history either
except briliant war in pacific against japan, i wonder if there was any more

1812
revolutionary war
waco texas

lol @ waco

nothing compared with napoleon greatness and achievements

What War has Russia won?

napoleon was more like some throwback dictator where he didnt care how many troops he lost
also, vn1 attempt at taking mother russia during the winter

world war 1
world war 2
desert storm
afghanistan
war in iraq
civil war
trail of tears
little bighorn LOL

i'll just say that russian forces marched through berlin 3 times, once in paris, 4 times in warsaw, defeated strongest (at that time) swedish fleet, end up victorious against mongols (all who know anything about them would say how hard that task was), was victorious in 4 wars again Osman empire

i'm sure i forgetting something, like countless small wars and conflicts
it would be easier to bring up conflicts that russia lost

LOL @ mentioning the Civil War.

Napoleon was not clutch.

Yea, because you guys really had world war ii handled on your own.

Even while, FDR was doing everything but sending in troops to help.

And we didn't participate in World War I?

And how the fuck did we lose the war in Iraq?

And the French and Indian War

And the Cold War

are you really saying wwii was ezpk for russia?
and spencer should not really mention desert storm, afghanistan or iraq, none of which are victories in the classical sense, but they were also not wars in the classical sense either

pre usa imo, does not count

i will just say some statistics about it
all help that ussr recieved from usa could be compared with 3 months of equipment that soviets used during only the battle of stalingrad or could be compared with 1/10th of resources that ussr presented infront of battle of kursk (still the biggest battle with most tanks)

and the Spanish-American war too

thats cuz you assclowns were on the wrong side for half the war
how much help did we give britain?

fucking bandwagoners

what the hell are we talking about now?

you also forget that russian leaders have long figured they had strength in numbers so throwing bodies at a problem is the easiest solution

most other countries have more regard for life than what russian leaders traditionally have had

On August 23, 1939, Germany and the USSR signed a secret non-agression pact dividing up Poland. In September, the Soviets invaded eastern Poland.

On November 30, 1939, the Russo-Finnish War began when the USSR invaded Finland. On March 12, 1940, Finland surrendered.

On June 18, 1940, the USSR invaded the Baltic states.

On April 13, 1941, the USSR and Japan signed a neutrality pact.

you were helping hitler for the first part of the war, even though everyone knew stallin and hitler were just biding their time to screw the other one over

ok, but we talking here not about tactics or strategies, but about victories
and i dont think anyone can take this one away from russians

You might want to Bold that for Vogan.

continental scrubs -> global hegemon in under 200 years of existance

sounds like a pretty big military accomplishment vogan

and why is after all this england and usa bacome allies?
exactly

we had more important shit to do, and we figured you clowns could at least control your own continent

we talking about military history, not fake bravado

lol
we dont only fight the wars we think we can win, but the ones that are just
russians dont have a gr8 track record of trying to help others out ya know

Want to explain how you loss the Cold War and you commies tried Democatric ideas but you were still really commies?

i'd like to think that a nation that solves most of its problems through diplomacy is far more accomplished than those who rush into military conflict
