"Until I utilized the Internet, I didn't know there were so many idiots in the world."
PThis conviction has been attributed for years Stanislaw Lem, although no 1 can give the first source. However, it is hard to deny the right. due to the fact that even assuming that the number of idiots in society did not change in percent terms, the pre-internet period made up quite a few them so-called. I'm sorry., visible only to the nearest or subordinate. Only widespread access to the Network allowed them to full shine.
Let's see for ourselves. A man who has been attacking others for almost a year, accusing them of invocation or remaining under the influence of “kacap” or “peerel” propaganda, has taken a peculiar departure.

It's been a long time since I've laughed like that. 'Cause look at this sentence:
... erstwhile they sank, they didn't even sink any enemy ship.
Indeed, this would be a hard task, as the nipponese ships were about 230 Mm away. As far as I'm concerned, the guns have never been constructed in history. 😉
By the way, the phrase "at the sinking did not even sink any enemy ship" can be applied to 95% if not all battleships sunk during planet War II.
As we remember, the American fleet was amazed by the air strike at the base.
And it was a nipponese defeat. Out of the eight elders battleships USNavy (most were launched before or during planet War I) only 2 were completely destroyed.
USS Arizonawhich has blown up, and USS OklahomaWhich just didn't pay off.
The remainder of us returned to work quickly.
USS Nevada (the BB-36 designation) was thoroughly rebuilt in 1942-43 and participated, among others, in the shooting of Normandy beaches in June 1944.
USS Tennessee (BB-43) As early as February 1942, he was ready for action.
USS California (BB-44) somewhat more damaged after a thorough redevelopment and modernization entered service on May 5, 1944.
USS Maryland (BB-46), the world's first ship armed with a 16 inch (406 mm) gun, already took part in the action on 26 February 1942.
USS West Virginia (BB-48) somewhat more damaged to the service returned in the second half of 1944, thoroughly rebuilt and upgraded.
At Leyte he was the chief executioner of the nipponese battleship Yamashiro.
USS Pennsylvania (BB-38) During the nipponese attack, it was located in a dry dock. The insignificant harm he suffered was removed within a quarter.
TUnfortunately, he's not the only charge.
British battleships British Navy although Two years longer to fight on all marine waters against Krigsmarine and the Imperial Fleet at the same time...
In fact, Britain's war fleet was a arrogant name Home Fleet. And no. British NavyBut the Royal Navy.
It is simply a complete departure, on the another hand, to say that the British fleet has been fighting nipponese for 2 years longer than the American fleet!
Meanwhile, she formally fought for as long as USNavy. In practice, however, since the conflict of Kuantan, where nipponese aircraft sank 2 British battleships. So 2 days less. 😉
And the end of herstoric's entry is about to be crazy.
... or a akin scale of defeat, or during the full war quantitatively akin summing losses, like these large American battleships did not endure throughout the war!
So let's look at the available data.
The first battleship sunk during planet War II was British HMS Royal Oak, sunk at night from 13 to 14 October 1939 inside the war base Royal Navy in Scapa Flow.
Another sunken British battleship is HMS Hood (24 May 1941).
And then there's HMS Barham (24 November 1941).
Two old American battleships standing on anchors and not prepared to attack were destroyed in Pearl Harbour.
And on December 10, 1941, under Kuantam, Britain lost 2 more – remembering planet War I HMS consequence and state of the art HMS Prince of Wales prepared to fight and able to maneuver.
In specified a situation, ships should defend themselves according to prewar theorists. This is why not Pearl Harbour, but the conflict of Kuantan is considered “the end of the battleship era”.
The balance of losses since the start of the war so looked like this:
US 2 battleships sunk.
Britain – five!
Forum herstoric He besides showed his cognition of Japanese-Soviet relations.
Why aggression on September 17 and not on September 2, 1939?
Since 1937 Russia has been in a war with Japan over the alleged Manchuria (area of present China). The peace agreements with Japan began on August 23, 1939 . On 16 September , it was concluded by the ZSRS a peace pact with Japan for the surrender of its full Manchuria area and the deep demilitarisation of its bilateral region . In order not to wage war on 2 fronts (though to be able to lead it immediately in the area of Poland with the 3rd Reich).
This is highly ahistorical bullshit.. Manchuria has been in charge of the nipponese since... 1932. And that's undisputed. An empire was created in this area Manjukuo with Emperor Pu Yi in the lead. I callback the perfect 1987 movie by B. Bertolucci here. The last emperor.
Apart from the tiny border conflicts between the Soviets and Japan, there was only a larger conflict on the lake in 1938. Chasan, victorious for the Empire (July 29 to August 11). A year later, the rising star of the russian army Gen. Zukov defeated nipponese troops under Chałchin-Gol (11 May to 16 September). Only Mongolia, not Manchuria!
The contained peace and non-aggression pact was scrupulously respected by Moscow and Tokyo until August 8, 1945, erstwhile the Soviets without declaring war hit nipponese troops. As a curiosity, it can be said that nipponese diplomats traveled through the ZSRS area on their way to Berlin, despite the war.
PThe above had no effect on preparations for aggression against Poland. Stalin waited patiently until the local, as Hitler and his advisors thought, the conflict would turn into a European war (which occurred on September 3, 1939), and then to the Abbeville conference (12 September), erstwhile the Western Allies decided not to take an offensive against the Germans.
After confirmation of reports, he launched a russian army. A tiny correction of the spheres of influence established in late August (for the concession in Poland Stalin received Lithuania) did not substance much.
The Soviets yet obtained what they had dreamed of since the end of 1920 – a common border with Germany and the possible of another German attack on the "everlasting enemy" according to Mein Kampf - France.
Germany was to enslave Europe as a whole.
Meanwhile, Stalin was preparing for the function of the “liberator” of the Continent. Among another things, a peculiar parachute division consisting of people speaking freely in... Spanish was established.
That's something to remember. And repeat it all now and then.
Hitler became the instrument of Providence in spite of his will.
On 22 June 1941, he saved half of Europe from a strategy far worse than Nazism.
For Nazism was only Communism with a Human Face.
Or Communism light version As you wish.
But the comic thing is our last message herstorica:
Who does not realize this, by education from the Polish People's Republic, and II Polish People's Republic - I urge the improvement of Władysław Pobóg- Malinowski "Political past of Poland" Vol. V and VI Or find his own author on the Internet: Eugeniusz Kościesz "The Father's – the stolen identity" – as free onegdaj online in the form of a file.pdf .
NOh, well... It has been known for a long time that the domain of fools is foolishness combined with rude nerve.
Herstoric It so follows the rule.
And that would be as Prof. Jan Tadeusz Stanisławski utilized to say.
