    You were the only person to bring up gold…

    Did I, tankie?

    Seems your glorious Tankie Nr.3 brought it up quite a few years ago…

    “According to Orlov, Joseph Stalin celebrated the arrival of the gold with a banquet attended by members of the politburo, in which he was famously quoted as saying, “The Spaniards will never see their gold again, just as they don’t see their ears,” an expression based on a Russian proverb.”

        You were the one who brought up gold in this thread.

        Jesus Christ you tankies are hard of hearing. Here… again.

          … most of what Orlov said, even under oath, or during his debriefing by the US intelligence officials, or in private discussions with his friend Gazur, has by now been established as outright invention.[7]

          But again, you seem to be the only person that actually cares about this gold.

          Frankly the fact that you’re arguing that you’d prefer the USSR to have not aided the Republic, and that you’d have preferred Franco to have held these gold reserves rather than the Soviets, just says a lot about you and your convictions.

            Lol! Quite the duplicitous lot, aren’t you?

            Is there anything you and your ilk say that can be trusted in any way whatsoever?

            But again, you seem to be the only person that actually cares about this gold.

            Only because this thread is flooded with tankies that don’t.

            the USSR to have not aided the Republic,

            It would have been absolutely grand if the USSR actually aided Spain in it’s fight against fascism. But it seems you don’t actually understand the difference between aiding someone and extorting them.

              You’re so bizarrely bitter about something that happened decades before you were born. It’s very strange.

                We should just forget the past and “move on,” eh tankie?

                Juast another narrative you copypasted from the liberals and the fascists?

                    as well have forgotten the past.

                    So you just want me to bring up the history that doesn’t prove how vile your ideology is, tankie? Is that it?
