Russia never declared war on us... why fight an enemy who isn't bent on fighting you? we were struggling enough with the Germans/Italians! plus i think anyone with half a brain knew that the alliance between russia and germany was never going to last. both Hitler and Stalin knew this. it was never an alliance, more of a truce.

Yeah, right.
Massive backtrack trying to cover-up usual incompetence.
Interesting you consider a DAILY MAIL writer to be a lefty journo, btw.

The RAF Roll of Honour records 574 non-UK pilots out of the 2353 RAF pilots during the battle. 145 of the non-UK were Poles, including a significant number of the aces.

Surprised they didn't get to the point by using a picture of an ME109 or a Stuka.

The rason France and Britian declared war on Germany was to protect Poland.We declard war on them. Not other way round. I though anyone with half a brain new that!!! I understand we did not declard war on Russia was becasuse we problebly new that Germany would go after Russia in the end.
1 september 1939 germany declars war on Poland. 3rd We declare was on Germany. Russia takes half of Poland with out a word.

Why are they using a symbol of the fight against a fascist regime that was hell bent on ethnic cleansing, when that is effectively what they want to happen on our shores?
yes i knew that... at no point did i mention who declared war on who.. i was talking about russia, not Germany. if the question had been - who declared war on who i would of answered, but the question was why didnt we declare war on russia, so i gave my opinion.

Time to get the history books out.Gemany and Russia agreed to split Poland between them (non aggression pact signed 23rd aug 1939)
In other words you come from a family of Irish Tinkers.
Ok. Italy did not declare war until 1940 though.
You said 'Russia never decleard war on us. Nor did Germany is my point int that argument.
We were not 'struggling enough with the Germans/Italians'. (italy was not involved yet and we sent toops to france after what is known as 'the phoney war' as nothing much happened.
The reason, i supose we did not declear war on Russia is becuase we knew that there was no way of defending (getting thier country back) them anyway.

Didn't the Germans fake an attack by Poland. Thus declaring war. Not that any other country would do that
I know. Also Russia had a failed go at Finland. And took the baltic states.
Germany did not enter Poland until 1st sept 1939.

Erm, no.
If you had any knowledge of this country - which you don't - you'd know there are sizeable areas of the country which speak Irish as their first language. Its legally but not in practice the first official language of the country, with a national TV station, a national radio station and stations in Dublin, Cork and even Belfast operating through that language.
Travellers claim to have their own language known as "Shelta" which is basically a corruption of Irish and English together. Two travellers from different families can't even talk to each other in this "language" as its not actually a language.

it is your legal right in Ireland to demand that if a police officer pulls you over, you can demand he write the ticket in Gaelic (Irish). then you just hope he doesn't know how to write Gaelic! :yahoo:
