  11. Few years ago: Flying LA-Manila (Philippines) via Hawaii. Plane turned around 3 hours into the flight because of a bomb threat. Spent the night at LAX because immigration was closed... Then left at 8AM for a 16 hour trip. This year: LA-Shanghai. After 11 hour of flight, the plane has to stop in Seoul because of mechanical problems. Spent the night in the plane (immigration was closed as well, so no one could leave), but business class made it easier to bear than sleeping at a gate! Except for the fact we ran out of booze at midnight... Then off to Shanghai at 9AM on another airline.

  16. True that the Soviet Union greatly benefited from the US help. But it is highly unlikely Hitler would ever have been able to defeat the USSR. Aside from terrible military leadership (Hitler in Germany, Stalin in the USSR, neither of them true military men), the Soviet Union had not only the weather, but also size of territory on its side. At the height of the battle of Stalingrad (which German General had recommended against engaging, as bypassing it and securing the oil fields would have caused the city to fall sooner or later without a major battle), the Germans were facing a 120+ Km front. Part of it was manned by foreign Divisions (Romanians, Italians), which did not have the drive and savvyness of the German armed forces. Stalin mismanaged the war, but when he finaly turned the decision making process to real military men, they immediatly punched through this front and encircled the German troops. The fact that the Americans and allied forces had landed in North Africa, and that England had not been defeated, forced Hitler to keep some of its experienced divisions in Western Europe. In that regards, it was crucial. But because of the vastness of the Societ Union, and the fact that Stalin was throwing as many bodies as possible at the Germans, Hitler, much like Napoleon, was doomed the day he attacked the USSR. However, as Churchill inderstood early on, the war was not as much about defeating Germany, which was only a matter of time, as it was about keeping the USSR as far away from the Atlantic as possible after the collapse of Nazi Germany (in other words, it was a race to Berlin). The US played a crucial part in this race.
