Thanks for the history lesson, but I already know.


Then you know that they bothered with Paris since the city was actually captured by the Germans before France surrendered.

They didn't surrender for a further eight days after the fall of Paris. The French army had been beaten in the field, with the vast majority of its best units evacuated to England or captured on the beaches of Dunkirk. There was no choice but to surrender.


So Vichy France was a myth? Dang I didn’t know our troops fought against ghosts in North Africa?

Vichy French forces in Northwest Africa gave sporadic resistance for less than 48 hours after we hit the beaches. That's when Darlan ordered them to stop fighting - which they did almost at once. The vast majority of combat U.S. forces saw in North Africa was against Italian and German troops.

Yep. Almost 125,000 French soldiers were evacuated from the beaches of Dunkirk, most of which were crack French units who would go on to fight alongside the British for the remainder of the war. Those who weren't evacuated were captured - as I mentioned in the second part of the quote you left off.

Over 1,000,000. Some sent to forced labor. Some paroled. Some returned to Vichy military. The number of French military that evacuated to England in 1940 was a small percentage of the French army.

Rumors floating that the Biden admin has advised Zelensky to make a deal with Putin.

Yes and looking at the road network, there are a lot of options from north of Odessa including driving north to Kiev as well as linking up with Transdenistria to the west. Everything they have done so far indicates cutting supply lines by controlling the road networks surrounding cities. Siege seems to be the objective rather than assault except in Mariupol.

Putin could activate Russian troops already stationed in Transnistria. Complete encirclement.

No one wants Russia to hurt the Ukrainian people, it's sad. But Russia is winning fairly easily. It's sad I have to preface my statement with that. People on TD can be morons.

And by real, you mean it's from the Russian Propaganda Farm RT Network. So take it for what it's worth.

Even the Russians know it's BS. But apparently not the Poli-Board....
