What does this have to do with the TDF and bicycle riding?

This table is pretty crude (leaving out US civilian losses, there certainly
were some), but this shows who bore the brunt of casualties in fighting WWII.
USSR, over 40 times that of the USA, for over 10% of the total population.

And how many more Russian dead would there have been if we had not supplied
them with food and munitions? If the US had concentrated wholly on the Pacific
War and ignored the European Theatre? Remember Uncle Joe was Adolph's Ally in
partitioning Poland and had trouble fighting Finland.

Only Euskaltel appears to be 100% Basque, La Boulangère 100% French, and
Domina Vacanze 100% Italian. All others are a mix. US Postal has 3
Americans, 3 Spaniards, 1 Portuguese, 1 Russian, and 1 Czech.

Thats because talent knows no borders. Is any one major team wholly
composed of
one nationality?
If any one here cares, A Slovenian soldier won the American RAAM this
year.

So what do people in Europe think about the United States dominating
the
Tour Le France? Lance Armstrong is going to win a record 6th Tour
tomorrow and before that, Greg LeMond was dominant. So in the last
10
years or so, the Tour Le France has been won by a non-American only a
couple of times. Plus the non-American winners were all later
convicted
of using performance enhancing drugs (I think).

So just like always, the Unites States is the best in the world. I
would guess that other countries don't like it but they had better
start
getting used to it.


And you wonder why most of the world hopes terrorism will get the best
of you. It's well on it's way, with the police state you've created.

Would "most" of the world include Spain? You don't know crap about
Islamofascist terrorism. What happened after Ronald Reagen bombed
Libya? Terror took a time out. Then the next generation of terrorists
took over, HIDING from a wayward country. The next time, the replies
were muted. Then the terrorists got brave and they LOST their
hideaway.

The rest of the world better get on the right side because judgment day
is coming on a fast horse. France is already so Muslim, it would fall
in a day. Read your history, especially on Constantinapole. Read on
what motivated Vlad the Impaler.

And if you like cycling, think about having to carry your prayer rug
with you on all rides. And having to bow toward Mecca at least once
during your ride.

And people wonder why French cycling is in decline...MUSLIMS DON'T
RACE!

Duh. Russia was invaded. Russia was in the war 2 years earlier.

Which, ironically enough, makes it an all-American sort of team.

No matter, the Russians had already killed their own generals before the Nazis
cranked up their first panzer. Like the czarist before them what was a few
million peasants if it bought them time, extended the enemies supply lines,
wore them down? I wonder if the communist weren't already looking at after the
German war.
They were confident their ideology would see them through. Why else did they
murder the Polish officer class?
