Does it taste like American beer?

 

[KenHigg]

How should I know, you requested it

That's far too simplistic, and only played a small part in the overall picture, the greater part of the war was of course won by the Russians

Hard to Run a modern war:

When your tanks won’t run,
When you can’t supply the troops,
When you can’t manufacture arms and supplies,

Yeah running out of fuel sure was a small thing.

Now that whole Russian thing, you’re absolutely right without the Russians the war would have gone on much longer. But once again you’ve proven my point for me.

Why did the Germans want Russia, Hmm let me think. Oh yeah I remember, Oil

Oil, once again the main reason the Germans lost the war; we had access to it, and they didn’t. So in a manor of speaking the Russia did win the war by denying oil the Nazis.

Good try, but your lack of the American beer market knowledge is showing.
Last time I was in London (about 4 years ago) I was suprised to see most of the young Friday night pub crowd hang'n out in the streets by the pubs drinking BUDWEISER of all things. Ok a few had Miller. I remember walking by thinking, all that great British beer and they are drinking that
But the American beer market has changed, and there are many local beers that are wonderful now. We are not limited to Bud, Miller and the like any more

The Germans lost the war when they lost the Battle of Britain, and thus Britain was still in the war
The knock on effect of this was that the Germans did not have access to oil
Their infrastructure was subject to airiel bombardment
Troops were tied down in the west
The resistance forces were supplied
etc etc
Sure the Russians were able to play a major part as were other allies, but without that defeat Germany would have been unchalleged in Europe, Russia would probably have been defeated, and America would not have entered the European theatre of war.

Anyway, sorry to interrupt, you were bagging each other’s country.

Actually Lister,

That is not my intention. If you go back and read the post you’ll find that I say many wonderful things about the British people. I think that our relationship with the British is one the most important ones in the world. Not just to us, but to others as well.

I’m not “bagging” his country.

Here are the facts:
I said there have been 43 presidents and I have been alive for 10 of them. I listed them, plus a joke at the end about Hillary.

He made disparaging remarks about the presidents and offered up that his racist general would have made a better president than any of the last 10.

That is not “bagging” another’s country, that’s someone trying to use the internet as a diversion to his own mental illness.

We (the people of the United States) are not to blame for your insanity Rich. Try to get a grip on your life. I just want to make it clear that this is not about US verses Briton this is about the nonsensical raving of a lunatic mind. (Quoted from Saturday Night Live).

I feel better now.

Bravo !! Well said !!

.

Well actually no, Russia wasn't a major oil producer at the time, the Krauts went to Rumania for that

Oil, once again the main reason the Germans lost the war; we had access to it, and they didn’t. So in a manor of speaking the Russia did win the war by denying oil the Nazis

Well actually wrong again, although there were shortages after the Ruskies took back Rumania, Germany actually produced most of its needs synthetically.
The main reason for the war ending was the combined might of the allied forces raged against it.
The attacks by the allies against the synthetic oil installations was just another means to the end

That's kids for you, they wouldn't know the difference between real beer and a pint of milk

First I must apologies to Rich for attacking him personally. There are however 2 reasons why I did and I thought in the interest of maintain diplomatic relations I would relate them to you.

1. My intention was to make it clear that transatlantic bickering is of no value, to anyone, and that most Americans harbor no ill feelings towards any foreign nationals. Most particularly Britts.

2. Anytime someone post a fair rebuttal it is answered either by something taken out of context, a glib reply, or a complete falsehood, I have yet to see an argument go where he actually admitted that he was wrong.

So growing tired of having every post turned around to be fuel for anti-American rantings I decided to take that approach.

Now that I’ve done it, I’m not sure it was appropriate. So if anyone want to critizise me for it. Please do so.

I’ll take it, if I can dish it out…

What are you prattling on about, it was you who brought Monty into the discussion, NOT ME

You can't
