All the embarrassingly stupid stuff that would come out of his bratwurst-filled noggin' was quickly attacked by the right, which is what he wanted, because he could then clarify that what he said and what they heard were two different things. Trump is the master of poisoning the well. And it works because the left is so easily agitated. Trump: MSNBC is fake news! They make stuff up to make Republicans look bad! MSNBC: This is an assault on journalists everywhere! We don't make stuff up! Trump: Fake news! MSNBC: Last night we made an error in judgement by reporting something about Trump that was a lie! Trump: 1 1 1

Hedge Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) A nice reminder Thread. It would probably have been a bit different (but maybe not much) had Russian air power been involved...but it wasn't. Edited August 29, 2019 by Hedge 1

It surely would have been different, shirley. They would have lost 200+ men and a few war planes, instead of just 200+ men. Edited August 29, 2019 by Koko78

Jimmy getting ad hoc bumped off suddenly at the end of season two killed 75% of the show Buscemi just isn't that captivating and deep an actor to take a lead role, and piling it on him starting season 3 was well beyond his talent

I can 50 greater defeats, easily, off the top of my head. Probably close to 100. 1
row_33 Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 all things considered I'd say Finland was the greatest defeat on Russia, and the implications of 1939 and thereafter...

Probably close to 100. In terms of stakes, absolutely. But 100% casualty rate without a single casualty on the other side is, unequivocally, an ass-whooping.
