  2. That captures the true essence of the current battle, Muslims the angry little dwarfs they actually are.
    They’ve been made into terrorist giants by our cowardly politicians.
    btw, that poster can’t be shown in Canader, as the soldier has a cigarette in his hand,and that could encourage smoking.

  3. The cigarette looks like a joint , so it is ok. Wait! There is a gun in the picture! The visible minority is represented by the small and angry figure! It appears that the soldier has appropriated a yoga mat! Horrors!

  6. Sure except that in WWI Turk fought like lions and Russians were useless and pathetic (as they are today).

  7. These “useless and pathetic” folks are still squatting on huge swaths of territory thanks to decades and centuries of violoent land grabs.
    The area of Russia is larger than the surface area of Pluto.

  8. Point being? In WWI there were probably the most pathetic large force in the World. while Turks… Gallipoli rings a bell?

  9. The sons of the Prophet are brave men and bold
    And quite unaccustomed to fear,
    But the bravest by far in the ranks of the Shah,
    Was Abdul Abulbul Amir.
    If you wanted a man to encourage the van,
    Or harass the foe from the rear,
    Storm fort or redoubt, you had only to shout
    For Abdul Abulbul Amir.
    Now the heroes were plenty and well known to fame
    In the troops that were led by the Czar,
    And the bravest of these was a man by the name
    Of Ivan Skavinsky Skavar.
    One day this bold Russian, he shouldered his gun
    And donned his most truculent sneer,
    Downtown he did go where he trod on the toe
    Of Abdul Abulbul Amir.
    Young man, quoth Abdul, has life grown so dull
    That you wish to end your career?
    Vile infidel, know, you have trod on the toe
    Of Abdul Abulbul Amir.
    So take your last look at the sunshine and brook
    And send your regrets to the Czar
    For by this I imply, you are going to die,
    Count Ivan Skavinsky Skavar.
    Then this bold Mameluke drew his trusty skibouk,
    Singing, “Allah! Il Allah! Al-lah!”
    And with murderous intent he ferociously went
    For Ivan Skavinsky Skavar.
    They parried and thrust, they side-stepped and cussed,
    Of blood they spilled a great part;
    The philologist blokes, who seldom crack jokes,
    Say that hash was first made on the spot.
    They fought all that night neath the pale yellow moon;
    The din, it was heard from afar,
    And huge multitudes came, so great was the fame,
    Of Abdul and Ivan Skavar.
    As Abdul’s long knife was extracting the life,
    In fact he was shouting, “Huzzah!”
    He felt himself struck by that wily Calmuck,
    Count Ivan Skavinsky Skavar.
    The Sultan drove by in his red-breasted fly,
    Expecting the victor to cheer,
    But he only drew nigh to hear the last sigh,
    Of Abdul Abulbul Amir.
    There’s a tomb rises up where the Blue Danube rolls,
    And graved there in characters clear,
    Is, “Stranger, when passing, oh pray for the soul
    Of Abdul Abulbul Amir.”
    A splash in the Black Sea one dark moonless night
    Caused ripples to spread wide and far,
    It was made by a sack fitting close to the back,
    Of Ivan Skavinsky Skavar.
    A Muscovite maiden her lone vigil keeps,
    ‘Neath the light of the cold northern star,
    And the name that she murmurs in vain as she weeps,
    Is Ivan Skavinsky Skavar.

  11. ?
    ye reqires a thing called ‘history lesson’.
    mother russia took the brunt of the nazi viciousness and allied with that horrible cold winter, managed to smash them in the face a couple times. kinda like ‘softening up’ the opposition prior to the final knockout.
    you really think D-day and after would have played out like it did if the nazis were 3 X stronger on that day? hmmm?
    p.s., I called up the russian embassy letter and thanked the lady on the other end of the line for the russian people in general and the russian leadership in particular for dealing with ISIS.

  12. Well first of all there is a white male in the picture so that’s a no no , if it was a white female and she was submitting happily to the “prowess” of a black man or a brown or Asian man begging him for more ….that would be totes acceptable.
    But this tripe a white male in a position of dominance or power or prowess and smiling totally racist, bigoted , unacceptable , the rest is just noise….maybe it could be to black men fighting over a white woman who of course is in desparate need of a real man of any colour except white because I mean white men are just gross now….lol.
    Sarc off.
    If the little guy was a Jew that would be ok as well ,

  13. Joe Thanks for this;
    Seems Putin will be aware there Rea over 80,000,000 Turks to 130,000,000 Russians this time around,. Not the 250,000,000 the Russians had up to the Collapse of the Soviet Union of Soviet Socialst. USSR or in Russian CCCP. This is a real problem for Putin. Russia has lost control for many of the “Stans” which formed the Republics in the Union.
    Over the generation since 1990 these “Stans” discontiued the use of Russian being taught in the schools and Russian is not used as the preferred language. I believe some may still treat Russian as an Official/Administrative in some of them. However the predominant Religion is Islam
    I would not immediately give Russia the “Nod” in a Turkey verses Russia war, even if Turkey was not part of NATO.
    Anyways, as your poem shows, the Turks will be able to take care of themselves and the normally cautious ( read gutless ) French; German; and British Politicians; understand their hold on power is quite tentative. Somewhere in the cabal of chickens in each of the mentioned countries there still is a Charlmagne/Degalle; a Bismark/Rommel; a Nelson/Churchill or will step forward like Alexander the Great and cut the Gordian Knot of Bureacratic Timidity trying to protect their sinecures.
    I am not ready to give up on the Ordinary European Citizens. The European Union and the foolishness of the great Euro farce may not survive. Who knows the rough people of the North will set their wimpiness aside and physically restrain the perpetrators. who consider their Norse Women are theirs for the Taking .

  14. “ye reqires a thing called ‘history lesson’.”
    Says a guy who confuses WWI and WWII. How typical.

  15. Yes, but Gallipoli didn’t involve the Russians, which would indicate you have a rather tenuous grasp of history. And despite the huge defensive advantage the Turks had at Gallipoli, they almost lost it. If Ataturk hadn’t forced his troops to hold with bayonets (no ammo) while reinforcements were brought up, the Allies would have walked into Constantinople. A city which, by the way, the muslim Turkish leadership had deserted in panic upon receiving news of the Allied landing at Gallipoli. Eventually the Allied forces in the Mid East handed the Turkish caliphate it’s ass and knocked them out of the war. And if the Greeks had heeded Allied suggestions regarding their conquest of Turkish territory at the end of WW1 (instead of chasing Turkish troops running away in panic), Constantinople would be a Greek city today.
    And the Brusoliv Offensive carried out by the Russians is considered one of the most “lethal” of the Allied offences of WW1 – 1.325 million German and Austria-Hungarian casualties. It broke the back of the Austrian-Hungarian Army and forced the Germans to break off their attack on Verdun. Russian engagements with the Turks were minor sideshows by comparison and the Russians defeated and pushed back the Turks in all theatres of action in the Caucuses and Persia.
    The Turks had nothing that came even close to what the Russians accomplished. What the Turks did excel at, like all muslims everywhere, was the genocide of defenceless civilian populations – Greek, Armenian, and Assyrian Christian populations. And even then the Turks occasionally screwed it up. Ever hear of Musa Dagh?

  18. Yes, the National Socialists of Fascist Germany were allied with the international socialists of the Soviet Union until 1941. And Great Britain almost ended up fighting a war against both socialist nations all by itself. But you got to hand it to the Russians for gutting the Wehrmacht. That happened in spite of the communist leaderships efforts to lose every fight they were involved in during that period. The Russian army advances in the late summer/fall of 1944 demonstrated how far they had evolved away from their commie overlords.

  19. “Yes, but Gallipoli didn’t involve the Russians, which would indicate you have a rather tenuous grasp of history. ”
    Never suggested they did.
    Ruskie overall performed extremely poorly in WWI, Turks overall performed much better.

  20. “The Turks (and Ukrainians?) are fighting back!”
    If you’re talking about me, it is neither. Just someone who knows the Siberian Mongols well enough that he will never condemn others killing them.
    Pootin, not even Iran and certainly not the a bunch of retarded turd world savages is the primary threat to the western world.
    Go team Turkey!

  21. “That happened in spite of the communist leaderships efforts to lose every fight they were involved in during that period. The Russian army advances in the late summer/fall of 1944 demonstrated how far they had evolved away from their commie overlords.”
    Wow what a load of prime grade manure. Communist leadership learned their lessons and none did anything against their wishes. Stalingrad, Kursk, Bargation were all approved by Stavka in detail. Rokossovsky, perhaps the most gifted Soviet commander never acted alone and had to had his plans approved by Stavka. Even Bagration his crowning achievement was debated and eventually approved from the top.
    What ruskie advances in 1944/45 demonstrated was that the top command smartened up and that lend lease gave them mobility they never had before (they still suffered disproportional looses). It did not demonstrate what they could while defying the leadership (lol).

  22. “Great Britain almost ended up fighting a war against both socialist nations all by itself.”
    Britain’s target was Germany, not the USSR. Britain did consider torching the Caspian Sea oil facilities during the Nazi-Soviet entente of 1939-41 but did not act on it.
    After Germany had been defeated, Churchill contemplated war against the Soviet Union (Operation Unthinkable) but ultimately decided against it when his Generals advised against and the Americans balked.

  24. here’s another hint colon-ist.
    WW II came *after* WW I. i.e., the russians performed far better at a later time.
    I’m not confused about the time line, you however are the type to ‘reinterpret’ a point made by someone who disagrees, very typical of a leftist. are you a leftist?
    I still contend that regardless of the specifics, I really hope Vladimir can thread his way thru the situation and play a leading role in dealing death and ruin on the heads of ISIS.
    p.s. you are a troll.

  25. No, I meant on the original Twitter thread where anti-Czarist/Soviet posters were also being linked.

  26. Just to discuss military history (and not pick a modern-day fight with you–Putin ticks me off too) I don’t under-exaggerate the Soviet effect but it also helped that the Allies’ air forces were keeping alot of 88s in their intended purpose as Flak guns and not shooting up tanks on the Russian Front.

  27. Whatever the performance of Turkish (Ottoman) troops in WW I, I am given to understand that modern (secularist) Turkish army during the Korean War distinguished itself for fierceness and fearlessness.

  28. “here’s another hint colon-ist.”
    The one on your head?
    “WW II came *after* WW I. i.e., the russians performed far better at a later time.”
    Debatable, overall they performed very poorly and below most other important participants. Loses were always higher than enemy. Even in 1945 despite a huge numerical advantage they lost more than the enemy.
    “I’m not confused about the time line, “
    Then you have attention span of a retarded amoeba. The poster is from WWI, my point dealt with WWI, you jumping into WWII suggest either ignorance or ADD.
    “I still contend that regardless of the specifics, I really hope Vladimir can thread his way thru the situation and play a leading role in dealing death and ruin on the heads of ISIS.”
    Yeah let me know he actually scores any success against ISIS and not against non-ISIS anti Assad anti-Hezzbollah coalition.
    “p.s. you are a troll.”
    p.s. you are a useful idiot idolizing the drunken whore of nations and a GRU thug.

  29. Lol your self. Stalingrad was 1942. Kursk was 1943. WTF are you talking about? Bargation kicked off the 1944 summer offensive, but the Russian Army was in Minsk 3 days before “STAVKA” issued orders to conduct the assault on Minsk. If “STAVKA” was privy to so much “detail” why didn’t they know where their army was at any given time during the summer of 1944? By then the Russian army was outrunning any order issued by their superiors in Moscow. That’s because the rank and file of the Red Army had learned their lessons after being slaughtered for years by their communist leaders and they were taking the initiative. The only thing that stopped them was their overextended supply lines, which were still based on railways. You would know this if you actually knew what you were talking about. Which you don’t.
    Also, please name one major battle in WW1 where the Turks were on the attack and won.

  30. You and spastic colonistic are just making this up, aren’t you? You can’t be that ignorant. During the Winter War of 1939 – 40 Great Britain and France were committed to sending at least 135,000 British and French troops to help the Finns against the Soviet invasion. That meant declaring war against the Soviets. This was shortly after Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union had just carved up Poland because they were socialist nations allied with one another – Germany got the western half, the Soviets the eastern half of Poland. There was tacit approval by the Nazis of the Soviet invasion of Finland – it was in the Soviet socialist sphere of influence. The Britsh troop convoys were scheduled to sail the day the Finns signed an armistice with the Soviets. If the British and French had managed to get 135,000 troops into Finland fighting the Soviets, then when France collapsed in 1940 the U.K. might have found itself fighting both the National Socialists of Germany and the international socialists of the Soviet Union. It really came down to a couple of weeks difference in the timing of events. In fact the Finns signed becaue the knew that the Allied reinforcements probably wouldn’t make it in time. The Soviet communist leadership had finally realized how badly they had underestimated the Finns and were about to crush them with a much bigger army.
    You guys should try reading some history – it could make you look smarter.
    By the way, the Soviet invasion of Finland was a disaster for the Russian Army. Their “all knowing” communist leadership and their “detailed planning” slaughtered almost 200 thousand Russian soldiers in about 3 1/2 months while fighting an army one third the size.

  31. Their performance was on and off. The Turkish Brigade in the Korean Police Action were probably most well known for killing a bunch of South Korean troops and taking a bunch more prisoner after they attacked what they thought were communist Chinese forces. Sort of a big “whoops” moment. I can understand friendly fire incidents from aircraft and artillary. Even shooting someone by mistake. But going in with a bayonet and capturing allied soldiers and making them prisoner without realizing they are your allies in the war you are fighting? That’s kind of different.
    Historically the ordinary Turkish soldier has never been known as a poor soldier. But muslim armies have never produced much in the way of victories, mainly because competent leadership is hard to come by. That’s one of the reasons so many German officers were leading Turkish troops in the Mid East theatre during WW1.

  32. “Stalingrad was 1942. Kursk was 1943. WTF are you talking about? ”
    About major decisive Soviet victories achieved by Red army under the command from the top. WTF else does it look like?
    “That’s because the rank and file of the Red Army had learned their lessons after being slaughtered for years by their communist leaders and they were taking the initiative. ”
    Utter complete nonsense. Soviet commanders knew how much autonomy they were given and were not acting in defiance of Kremlin. Yes occasionally they succeed beyond expectations, and capitalized on an opportunity, doctrine expected that. As for being slaughtered, they were being slaughtered until the end. In every year of the war they suffered higher loses in men and equipment than the enemy. Even in 1945 despite enormous advantage in numbers, resources etc they still managed to die in greater numbers and lose more gear. Russian generals did not give a f*** about their men. That was a luxury Red army did not allow.
    As for Bagration specifically, Stalin gave Rokosowski a green light after a rather spirited debate when Rokosowski openly challenged Stalin (it took balls), that debate is well documented. “We’ll do it your way but if you fail it is your head that will roll” is a lose translation of Stalin’s final decision (Suvorov writes about it in Cleansing IIRC). With time Stalin learned when to trust his officers and gradually allowed them increasing autonomy. And when he told Rokosowki to wait at the gates of Warsaw, Rokosowki did just that.
    “Also, please name one major battle in WW1 where the Turks were on the attack and won.”
    That is not what I have claimed. I was very clear what I meant, here it is again for the comprehension impaired: Turkish soldiers in WWI fought well, Russians generally were pathetic if they fought at all instead of deserting.
    There, your entertainment value is wearing thin. Feel free to have the last word.

  33. “During the Winter War of 1939 – 40 Great Britain and France were committed to sending at least 135,000 British and French troops to help the Finns against the Soviet invasion. That meant declaring war against the Soviets.”
    1. “It was hoped that Allied intervention would eventually bring the neutral Nordic countries, Norway and Sweden, to the Allied side by strengthening their positions against Germany …” (REM: read again; that’s GERMANY, not the USSR)
    2. “Only a fraction of the Franco-British troops were intended for Finland.” (REM: what were the bulk intended for?)
    3. “Swedish diplomats saw through the Allied subterfuge, possibly aided by German sources, that the true objective of the whole operation was to occupy the Norwegian harbour of Narvik and the vast mountainous areas of the north-Swedish iron ore fields, from which it was assumed that the Third Reich received a large share of its iron ore (actually 33% in 1938), regarded as critical to war production.” (REM: The Allies wanted to deny iron ore to the Third Reich. Once again, no mention of the USSR.)
    4. “If the governments of France and Britain later broke their pledge not to seize territory or assets in Norway and Sweden and Franco-British troops later moved to halt exports to Germany, the area could become a significant battleground between the Allies and the Germans.”
