Paid Members PunkStep Posted November 15, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted November 15, 2022 Poland right now when it comes to tbe start of World Wars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Turns out the missile that hit Poland came from Ukrainian forces. But they’re the brave good guys so that’s alright then. No doubt it’ll be spun as they did it deliberately and tried to blame Russia FALSE FLAG etc   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Coconut Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 My sources say they've found pieces of Russian missiles and a Ukrainian interceptor missile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted November 16, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted November 16, 2022 Don't worry folks, Gianni Infantino has asked Russia and Ukraine for a temporary ceasefire for the World Cup, so things should calm down for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members BomberPat Posted November 16, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted November 16, 2022 Interestingly (to me, anyway), the Eastern Front had no equivalent to the Western Front's Christmas ceasefire and football game, because Russia was still using the Julian calendar until 1918, so wouldn't have recognised that date as Christmas.

I think there's still a holdover to that even now - Trafalgar Square hosts a Russian Christmas market in early January. Not sure if they're doing it this year, though.

Loki Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 Something I bumped on earlier, reading about Poland - I had forgotten that WW2 essentially started with both Germany AND Russia invading Poland.  They split it between them with the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. It wasn't until 2 years later that Germany actually invaded Russia and kicked off the second front, until then they were essentially allies.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember right we issued them a with a stern letter saying it undermined the trials then kept quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members GlennCullen Posted November 16, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted November 16, 2022 If you haven't already, it's well worth reading up on the Katyn Massacre as a prime example of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
