Mossie? He meant 'think of Napoleon' as an example of how Russia could not be defeated.... Look what you did! Now I'm agreeing with him. Damned cunning this Red Monarch, first dissent, then liquidation, then.... Erased from History. Watch out.
it's not the matter of what state russian army was. as soon as russians declare the great patriotic war and guerilla, they're undefeatable. remember napoleon. This post is messing me around again... Let's see. "They're undefeatable. remember napoleon"(sic). Does that say Russia could not be beaten because they were like Napoleon? If so the kid need's his head looking at. If not, then he needs to look at his English grammar. I have a headache now.
It means they could not be beaten. Remember (what happened to ) Napoleon. Thats what he meant I agree.
between this, tricellular models, farrel cells, weather fronts, Coriolis Effect, biospheres, ecospheres, natural selction and evolution i have the mother of all headaches. Can someone explain in plain simple Beano language what the kid actually means?
"You Can Never defeat Russia" "Remember what happened to Napoleon" To the Gulag with you! for a nice lie down.
And you are doing a degree??????????? The kids means when Napoleon attacked Russia he was himself beaten. Hilter attacked Russia he was beaten. Through history no-one has invaded Russia and won. Now does it make sense?
Okay, with it now. and the degree is countryside management, not history. believe me, i am seriously stressed out by the number of essays i have waiting for me this easter. I ain't getting no choccy egg at all...
Von Tetris, be warned, i am in the right mood to give somemone a slap today, and it might as well be you... I am getting on with the essays. i am currently sat here, reading all about atmospheric instability and microclimates inbetween posting in my lunch break. What's your excuse? As to being in hitler's shoes, I think I'd start off by shooting all of my advisors and going it alone. I couldn't have made a bigger hash of it than he already had.
:p My excuse. Smallest Sprog's in bed. woohoo! Your confusion continues, Owen D should get the slap for essay-mocking! not I! I really reccomend that little lie down, or maybe just the pub! nya nya! (now i deserve that slap, cool, get threatened first then you get free abuse to earn the threat.. I like it!)
Shouldn't that comment be in the barracks? No! If they were in the barracks they wouldn't be under the weather. And I really meant to say out in the weather. Whack Whack
so what? decent army is supposed to endure all that. napoleon & hitler proved to be poor at tactics and strategy. especially hitler, bismarck in his works had warned him.
