Should we send ground troops to fight ISIS?

It was just a dumb throwaway comment, TI- it had none of the genuine viciousness (or trolling nature) that other posters were clocked for. If he crosses that line, he'll be dealt with in the same way.

If we ask what Hitler would do the answer would be..generally something really stupid. The man had no clue how to fight a war. He made decisions that literally a child with no experience but who was sane would not make.

On significant numbers of ground troops I would say.... I'm not actually sure. If there's an international coalition, it'd make sense to join in, but only if there's a plan. Going in without a plan last time is what helped make Daesh, so if we go in again, it must be done right.

It's a complex situation and I'm not going to commit to one way or other.

I don't recall asking your opinion. Now your just doing that thing you do where you blame something someone else did on someone else, as usually do. Try and remain objective.

You posted your opinion in a public forum as an attempt to take a swipe at a number of people for *inaction*.

I'm blaming you for how you act, nothing else. I'm not blaming anyone for what they didn't do, I'm not blaming anyone for what someone else did. Just you for you.

Do you even know what you are still talking about. Tattoos made multiple comments on nuking Islam and doing to them like hitter. What on earth are you blaming me for now? Oh that's right, nothing😂

When you can grasp something else then straws man, come back when you have something. Till then, my comment stands.

He didn't do that bad. He lasted 3 years against the heaviest hitters at the time while carrying dead weight in his two clowns sidekicks, Hirohito and Mussolini.

Yeah, though Hitler's record as commander is a mixed bag, the German military leaders on the whole did quite well in both world wars.

Anybody here surprised that Bardy is a Hitler Fan?

Bardy on the side of Extreme Right Wing Policies?

GASP. SHOCK!

That's literally the opposite of what I said....

America: Maybe if we do it again things will be different!

What's the definition of insanity, again?

i think the real mistake they made with iraq was basically dismantling the baath party by blacklisting anyone who was involved in the state... in a one party state. so virtually every qualified person who couldve made up the new regime was disqualified.

so yea the way they went about it is a recipe for failure. that doesn't mean you can't eliminate a regime and reconstruct a country. see: germany and japan in ww2. it just takes a hell of a lot of work to do so.

I didn't mean for my comments to be taken seriously. I'd love for ISIS to be wiped out, but not through nukes..too many innocents would die. The Hitler comment was just tongue in cheek.

TI, I do not post enough for people in these forums to really know what I believe. I'm rarely here to rock the boat on sensitive issues.

Dude I don't care say whatever, it's freedom of speech, my point is she's blaming me for something I didn't do. It's piss poor.

But it sounded Pro German.

So...

Bardy is Pro Hitler.

Sorry. That is just the way it works.

you're just a hitler hater tbh... everything is black and white to people like you. if a guy is an enemy then you can't give him any credibility whatsoever. i can almost guarantee that hitler was more competent than you are.

I've been listening to a history podcast on the rise of the mongol empire, the sub-theme of which was, that as time passes the human cost of events is often forgotten about in history.

He actually did do bad though. When you have several times where your generals are begging you not to do something and you still continually do it..that isn't good. Hitler had good people working for him and he did well when he listened to them, but there were certain things he didn't. Check this:

A lot depends on who writes the history. We still remember Draco of Athens as a horrible guy because of what was written by his contemporaries, and because he gave us the word "Draconian," though IIRC many historians now don't think Draco was that much worse than others of his era.

Nope, you did do something- you tried to blame others for not jumping on Tattoo.

Your exact words:

"No one cares if anyone says this kinda stuff as long as it's not Long Pig or Star.

Interesting 😂 "

You know, I don't really get this 'you're blaming me for something I didn't do!/prove it' thing you occasionally do when, y'know, we're on a message board and often talking about something that happened just a page or two back. You get caught out with it a lot.
