what the world wants from Russia and Iran ?
Russia must learn how capitalism works. Russia has not wanted the US's capitalism in its behind garden. but, Russia has not powerful capitalism as much as the US. Soviet Union had destroyed capitalist class in Russia, called " gulag". on the other hand, Caucasian countries have seen what the US has. therefore, Russia has to do compromise with the US. Also, Abdullah Gül who is president of Turkey, has visited iran. Hillary Clinton also gave sign for iran. now, Turkey is mediator between iran and the US. at the future, the US and iran may be friend as a result, moderate muslim model has begun to disappear, diplomacy has begun as idealist, rational, fair and open. do you agree or disagree ?

I think the question is weather or not Iran will conform with the U.S. in regards to their oil fields. Particulary, the strait of hormuz.

Is today working day in Russia? Isn't it Saturday? will you have Sunday to work too
Is today working day in Russia? Isn't it Saturday? will you have Sunday to work too?
Is it because of Christmas Eve and day? So now you have to work 7 days without weekend? Is the same going to happen on Old New Year? do you like it? I would hate it. In the USA, if a holiday falls on Saturday or Sunday, usually we get Friday or Monday off. If it falls on weekday, we are off that day but weekend remains as off time. I judge it upon channel 1 I tuned in. I see weekday program. Not Saturday, was looking forward to "умницы и умники"

If Hitler had kept his work and not attacked Russia. Could the Allies have won the war
If Hitler had kept his work and not attacked Russia. Could the Allies have won the war?
Sitting around here in Afghanistan a few of us got into this debate. During the fiercest fighting of operation Barbarossa on the Russian front Germany had 41 Divisions on the Russian Front. If those Divisions had been able to fight elsewhere could the Allies have won? Dang Bronwen you have a wonderful brain. You made most of the same points I did. Thanks. Best answer so far.

I don't think so. If Hitler had not opened up another front by attacking Russia, he would have eventually captured England. He could have just used all his resources in bringing the English to their knees. Churchill was very adamant that the English would continue to fight, from bases in Canada if necessary, but the reality is that it's a long way from Canada to England, and once England was captured and subdued, there would have been no real staging area for the Allies to launch a land assault on mainland Europe. Had Hitler controlled England, he would also have controlled the Straits of Gibraltar, and all Atlantic approaches to North Africa. There would have been no way to resupply troops in North Africa, or to stop the Germans from completely taking over there. With the Mediterranean closed to the Allies, there would have been no way to stage attacks on Italy. All of Hitler's generals, or at least the vast majority of them, told him that it was suicide to open up fighting on two fronts. I think we tend to forget that the German Army was run by extremely competent men who had spent their entire lives studying tactics and waging war. If he had listened to them, the Allies would have been in a lot of trouble. Lucky for us, though the commanders knew what they were doing, their supreme commander was wandering around smelling daisies and worrying about other stuff. Had he paid attention, Americans would still be Americans, but Europe would be a vastly different place.

The answer is NO! He hated the Russians more than the Allies. He was going after them, no matter what happened to the Western Front. He wanted a stalemate in the west, who he believe and rightly so, that the West would be able to defeat him. What he didn't want, was the American involvement into WWII. WE DON'T BACK DOWN, PERIOD! Plus, we didn't declare war on Germany, until they declared war on us first. We declared war on one of Germany's allies first. Which was the Empire of Japan. Technically, the war started in 1939, unless you go back further to when Japan invaded China and that was 1936 (?). We didn't get into it, until after December 7, 1941. Stalin wanted the pact with Hitler, so he could build-up Russia's war machine. He didn't get the time to do that properly. If you were to look at the timelines, you can figure out what happened after the U. S. got into the war. Because, we were already prepared for war. Technically!

Very unlikely. If England fell, all of the Commonwealth would have been compromised including Canada. It was his stupidity in turning on Russia that cost him the war. Up until Aug/ '41, the American people were against the European war.FDR , with some of his top aides especially Lt. Comm. Arthur H. McCollum. He proposed an 8 step plan to provoke Japan into attacking Pearl Harbour. In fact it was Russia who primarily brought down germany. That in no way discredits the other allies, but we had to have the aid of Russia. I used to believe we would have won eventually, only because I wanted to believe it, but know , I don't think so. I have aways been very proud of our Canadian Armed Forces and still am. I wish you and all our allies God speed and a safe return home. Thanks for what you are sacrificing.

Wow, that was confusing. Russia, the US, the UK (including Britain and all of its holdings), France, and others were apart of the allies against the Axis being Japan, Germany and Italy. US-Russo ties really started going down the toilet when the Red Army started to occupy Eastern European countries, installing Communist Governments and essentially putting the Iron Curtain in place. However, until Germany fell entirely, we were still technically friends. Russia declared formal war on Japan during the last days of WWII. Germany was the instigator of the war in that it invaded the Sudetenland in what is now the Chek (sp) Republic in clear defiance of treaties in signed post WWI. The invasion of Poland (with Russia's help) was the action made France and Britain declare war. That's quick and dirty and leaves out alot of specifics as well as the initial causes in WWI.

yes thats true, Russia became an ally after Germany invaded Russia and broke the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact between them. The main countries for the allies were the: U.S, Russia, Britain The main Axis Power countries were: Germany, Japan, and Italy. What caused WWII was because Germany invaded Poland.

It is amusing that you've all ignored the fact that the US sat on the sidelines for most of WWII and refused to get involved until they were attacked directly by Japan. Despite the fact that Hitler was murdering Jews, homosexuals and other groups he didn't like across Europe. I guess it's true, perception really is reality.

To answer your questions in order: Yes, the Soviet Union (which included Russia) was an ally of the US and the British. The USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, also called the Soviet Union. Russia was a part of the USSR, but wasn't called Russia then), led by Stalin, signed a non-aggression pact with Hitler (leader of Germany). This was in force until Hitler broke it and invaded the Soviet Union. Stalin was taken unawares and unprepared, so Hitler did well at first. Stalin therefore allied with the British and the US to fight the Germans. The "cold war" didn't start until after WWII During the jostling for control over the states freed from the Nazis. ***** The USSR and the Japanese didn't work together. The war in Europe against Germany) ended sooner than that in Japan (May 8, 1945 for Germany’s surrender and August 15, 1945 for Japan’s) and the USSR was free to declare war on Japan, which it did. This was one of the reasons that the US dropped nuclear bombs on Japan. It wanted to end the war before the Soviet Union forces entered the fighting, who would then stay and have control in that country and region. After WWII Germany was divided into two halves, appropriately called West and East Germany. The US, the United Kingdom (the British) and France controlled the West. The Soviet Union controlled the East. Germany was two different countries. The US, UK and France set up a democracy in the West and then left (although the US left troops to guard against an attack from the Soviet Union, and many are still stationed there. Now the bases are used as staging grounds for operations in the Afghanistan and Iraq). The country they created was called the Federal Republic of Germany. The Soviet Union established a country in the Eastern half, called the German Democratic Republic. This was not democratic though – it was communist. The Soviet Union had many troops stationed there as well, and had a lot of influence in the Eastern half. Vladimir Putin, the current President of the Russian Federation, worked in East Germany as a spy when he was part of the KGB (this isn’t a secret – he admits it freely and uses his excellent German in speeches). ***** Germany played a very strong role in the War. They were allied with Japan, but because they had some common enemies in their efforts to expand their territories. In Europe, the war started when Germany annexed Austria and Czechoslovakia, claiming to be uniting the Germans who lived there (Austrians speak German and there were a lot of Germans in Czechoslovakia. The moved there in the centuries that it belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Austrian Empire and the Holy Roman Empire, which were all names used at different times to describe the same Empire ruled from the Austrian city of Vienna). At this point there was a lot of nervousness in Europe, as Hitler was using rhetoric such as “Germans need more land to live, which is their birthright.†But the British made a deal with Hitler that they would let him keep those countries if he didn’t go any further. Hitler agreed, but he invaded Poland anyway, and kept going from there. He took France, Bombed England and wanted to invade, and moved through Eastern Europe. He also invaded the USSR, as mentioned above. The US at this point wasn’t involved. Hitler made an alliance with the Japanese, who were engaged in their own war of expansion, because both were fighting the British and French (the British had a lot of Colonial holdings in the Pacific, and the French had some, too). The US became involved when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. The Japanese wanted the US to withdraw from the pacific, but instead the US declared war on the Japanese. The Japanese and the Germans were allied, so Germany declared war on the US, which then also entered the European war. It was already helping the UK and the USSR with equipment and logistical support, but now it started a hot war too. And that is how it started, in its simplest, simplest form. If you want to know how Hitler came to power at all, the roots are in the depression, which was much, much worse in Germany than it was in the US. They are also in the end of World War I, when the Germans lost and were forced to pay crippling reparations payments. This created a desperate society with no idea of a future; when Hitler came in and told them that it wasn’t their fault, they were great, but everyone (especially the Jews) was keeping them down, and that he would make them strong again, people were relived to hear it. Sounds a bit like Islamic fundamentalists now to my ear (not entirely just a bit). Hitler also believed that access to the lands of the “inferior†peoples would give Germany the labor, land and natural resources to succeed. The roots of the Japanese war are a bit similar; they felt that since they are a small island nation, they could only succeed with access to the natural resources and land in other countries.
