If we had a third nuke and did Moscow, the Soviets right next to us would have been really motivated and not many American troops would have gone home alive?
Have you lost your 17ing mind? Do you have the first 17ing clue as to how much war toys the Brits sent to Stalin via that frozen body of water while getting ass 17'd' by Nazi U-Boats? Who the 17 do you think was getting that shit to England while getting our own asses kicked by those 17ing U-Boats. Thank God the Brits got that Enigma Code and mastered Sonar tech.

What the Russian people did to thwart Nazis is one of the most miraculous events in world history. The starvation, death and destruction they went thru and overcoming then revenge was Old Testament stuff.

17 Eisenhower. Patton wuz rite. We woulda wiped our asses with Bolschevick blood.
