Are you trying to say that Poland was a victim?? Let me remind you how polish cowards together with French and English abandoned and cheated Czechoslovakia!! Let me remind you how Poland took great part of our country!! Of course than you Polish didn’t know than next turn is yours…
I was unaware Hitler started World War III. In fact, I was unaware the World War III ever happened. You’re dumb.
I’ve said Joseph Stalin was not stupid enough to start World War 3. He could during the cold war, but he knows what happened to Germany and Hitler after World War 2. Maybe you should re-read, there is a comma after the sentence.
Should be burnt sirloin. He OBVIOUSLY didn’t mean that hitler started nor was there a WWIII .
“The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.” Please at least write in the article that this is not an actual quote.
The quote is often used as propaganda but has no historical evidence of ever existing. Just google the quote and there are several articles pointing out how the quote is fake.
Not a single one of these quotes are correct.
