lictor616 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 And in fact, the mongrel US is evn stronger now than then.ALLAH AKBAR! actually, the US has declined in relative power vis-a-vis the rest of the world. The US in 1945 could have continued on and annihilated the USSR and become true Hegemon of the world. Alas it elected to give communism a chance. Today the US is a hated country, with a ruined economy, and industrial base that is almost entirely offshore and in alien hands, a less healthy less cohesive society, and all manner of geopolitical disasters waiting to happen. The US has declined in all aspects of literacy (scientific mathematical and otherwise), and continues its downward spiral as such nations as China, India and Russia grow stronger by the week. but anyway...

I didn't think it was necessary for you to actually gives us a sample of what you don't know, but the above confirms all doubts. Your habit of making large sweeping erroneous generalizations cannot be surpassed. 1) Your assumptions about the US economy is laughable.

Also about 43% of all conscripts and US soldiers in WW1 and about the same during WW2 where german-americans. Almost all sources say the actual number is doubtless higher, since as you'll remember this was during the time when the US had its insane Creel commission who concocted numerous outlandish fairy tales about germans decapitating babies and eating them with salt and pepper, german soldiers crucifying americans alive... and similar nonsense to whop up some enthusiasm for the war effort which was of no conceivable interest to America. During that crazed period, many german-americans where persecuted and hence many would change their names and hide their german-ancestry in an effort to avoid persecution (http://historymatters.gmu.edu/d/1/) Today german Americans number about 18% of the total U.S. population and 26% of the non-Hispanic white population making them once again the LARGEST ethnic group. where you get this 15.2% figure... I don't know. The Soviet Army A 1938 report noted that 1.3% of the draft where non-white (www.da.mod.uk/colleges/arag/document-listings/russian/D61). The difference between a Central asian (caucasian), and a slav are essentially the same as a north korean and south korean... the soviet army was an overwhelming majority of East European (Slav) and Caucasian Minorities ( Richard Pipes, "The Nationality Problem," in Handbook of Major Soviet Nationalities, Kev Katz et a1., editors (New York: Free Press, 1975), pp. 1-7.) the point being that the Soveit army was far from a multiracial showboat as you dishonestly imply...
