Anyone that's not interested can buy a copy of Suffolk Shrimper's book 'Roots To The 92'. Royalties from the book go to Alan Moody's collection for the remainder of August 17.

Already have a copy thanks.:smile:

Was also interested to see on the OS that a quid from each ticket bought for home games between now and the end of September will be donated to the Grenfell fund.Well done SUFC.:thumbsup:

Not Many....How about close to 40,000 mainly officers, including 3 of his 5 Marshalls and most of the divisional commanders either executed or sent to the Gulag never to be seen again. The NKVD would act on even an anonymous tip off with torture and an execution.

After their successful carve up of Poland with Germany, Stalin decided to invade Finland in Late 1939. It became known as the winter war and ended in a peace agreement in March 1940. The Russians lost hundreds of thousands of men despite totally outnumbering the Fins in manpower and equipment.

No military commander could make a decision without consent from the NKVD. Stalin's secret police were so paranoid they would often execute the commander on the spot. Needless to say the invasion of Finland was a military disaster and thats what made Hitler so confident he could conquer Russia in 3 months.

At one stage Britain and France were going to send troops via the other Scandinavian countries to back the Fins so we could of ended up being at war with Russia as well as Germany. It was the League of Nations dithering (what's changed) that encouraged Hitler to invade Norway. Plus the Anglo French war council being just as useless set in motion Germany's plans for the 'Blitzkrieg' invasion of France just 2 months later.

So without the madness of 'Uncle Jo' then Hitler would have never sent 3m of his men off to Moscow in light summer clothing. So doesn't matter whether your extreme right or extreme left your just as dangerous and dare I say need braining.

P.S. In between the invasion of France and Russia, Britain did a rather good job which is why Hitler decided to turn his attention on Russia. I will be going to the cinema tonight to see Dunkirk, which is surely a must if your British.

Seen it thanks.Wonderful film.Check the films thread for comments.

Anyone interested in the sacrificies the Russian people made in the war should read Svetlana Alexievich's wonderful "The Unwomanly Face of War" or see "Enemy at the Gates" about the siege of Stalingrad.

I think anyone acquainted with the facts will be well aware of the huge sacrifices made by the Russian people not to mention the Ukranians and other peoples part of the Russian Empire at that time. What I think some of us object to is the barely concealed implication often made by those on the left is that it was somehow part of a great socialist sacrifice. The sacrifice was made unnecessarily great by the socialist leaders of Russia

Communist leaders.

A huge amount of outrage and coverage of one murder in Charlottesville. Barely a whimper about 27 Nigerians killed by suicide bombers, 600 plus dead in Sierra Leone mudslides and 250 dead in flooding in India and Bangladesh. Is it a case of the prevailing culture of white liberal virtual signalling relegating far greater episodes of human misery and suffering to a distant secondary importance? Answers on a postcard to Broadcasting House.

Communist leaders much praised by Socialists of the day (and long after).

Incidents in the western world always take priority in the media, especially involving white folks. We see these terrible incidents in the third world and shrug our shoulders. "Oh dear"....but quickly forget it and turn onto the latest celebrity scandal.

I don't read the Sun, Mail, Telegraph - have they been extensively covering deaths in Nigeria, Sierra Leone, India and Bangladesh while the liberal press have given little coverage of these?

Good news! I've scrolled back for you and can report that no-one has accused anyone of making pro-Stalin statements on here.

I'll give you one guess who is hinting at it.

I don't read the Sun, Mail and Telegraph either! We have so much in common already. This could be the start of a beautiful relationship. I look at the BBC website and follow the debates on Shrimperzone which means I'm generously supplied with numerous Guardian links.:smile:

Yep, I know you have a copy mate, but your Soviet reading suggestion prompted me to offer a viable alternative which might appeal to a broader readership on SZ. Good shout by the club on the Grenfell fund btw.

Great news. I'd imagine they'll be millions of jobs available when the world ends in a nuclear fireball.

Dry the bedsheets MK, apart from that not making any sense surely the smart money is on the fat kid bottling it.

Dry the bedsheets? What an odd term.

The smart money is on the orange c*nt being impeached. I give him a month. KJU will probably die laughing his fat head off.

As much as I'd like you to be right MK I can't see it happening, unfortunately. Just getting the impeachment process rolling and getting both Congress and the Senate to agree that is the right course to take is a mammoth task. Short of a court of law finding the POTUS unequivocally guilty of a criminal act, it's unlikely to happen.
