It makes me sick to hear Russia referred to as an allied country but I guess we really are there.

I'm old as fuck, well sort of. I remember drills in grammar school and ducking under desks. The USSR was the bad actor. I still get confused when I look on a map and I can't find Czechoslovakia.

Grammar school suggests UK, if so, you're now in good company with the USA, they have never been able to find anything on a map.

Jesus Christ, you and the guy below. Don't get it. I was referring to the fact that a country doesn't exist anymore just as a reference point. Obviously I can't find Czechoslovakia on a map anymore because it doesn't exist. I only use that country as a reference point because my father's side came from, well that country as it was.

Your taking a flippant comment and really running with it aren’t you?

Milk it harder the molehill isn’t mountainous enough just yet.

Talk about the epitome of a yank missing the point and running with it.
