#1 What will he say when China crosses the Amur to eat Siberia?

#2 I guess it depends on whether China says it's at war or just committing a special military operation to denazify Russia.

#5 against the whole of united Europe and won in 1945

With copious aid from the US and Britain. And constant threats to make peace with Hitler if that aid was interrupted for any reason.

Good God, Russia -- swamping the enemy with your corpses is not a strategy to be proud about.

#6 ...something about German air power being stripped from the East Front to protect the homeland against someone else.

#7 Courtesy of Johnny Horton:
They regrouped through the briars
They regrouped through the brambles
And they regrouped through the bushes
Where a rabbit couldn't go
They regrouped so fast that the Ukies couldn't catch 'em
On down the Amur River to the Sea of Okhotsk

#8 Just ask, and the Russians will claim to have liberated France during WWII. They had troops in Normandy even before the US, UK, and Canada landed!

#9 Is nearly anniversary of most special military operation of all...

Making war on the Nazis is nice!
Just take, for example, Fall Weiss,
Where our Great Russian Soul
Finally cornholed the Poles
As Herr Hilter's Red rusty device.

#10 Speaking of which... just been re-reading Forczyk, and damned if the introductory stuff wouldn't make a Russian buy a "Kiss me, I'm Polish!" t-shirt. I almost don't want to ask, but... is he sound? The mythbusting bits, especially?
