@vjbd2757 Do you not understand the basic fact that the Russian's tied-down most of the Austro-Hungarian army (which had an enormous size that the British army at it's greatest extent never met), and a large proportion of the German army? And that the German's 1918 offensive was only possible because of the freeing-up of soldiers, that were previously stationed on the eastern front, by Russian withdrawal?! Because I fathomed that when I was 12 years old!

@vjbd2757 The Allies would have never faced any German spring offensive nor would have Italy suffered the Caporetto defeat if Russia had not been knocked out of the war. Victory would have been much faster and easier.

@vjbd2757 Oh and the Russians weren't the only party in the war "plagued with enormous problems". The Ottomans and Austro-Hungarians were actually faced with even bigger problems than the Russians were. And the Germans weren't in a much better position by mid-1917 either. Why do you think the German foreign ministry resorted to the irresponsible desperation act of creating the bolshevik revolution in Russia? Because they were desperate and willing to risk anything even a communist revolution in Russia spreading to Germany (which it actually did before the nationalists-socialist's squashed it)

@vjbd2757 Had the German foreign ministry NOT stooped to releasing Lenin & the Bolsheviks in Petrograd, arming them, and setting up Pravda: Russia would have lasted until 1918 also. Any of the Allied powers could have stooped as low as the Germans and created a communist revolution in either the Ottoman empire or the Austria-Hungarian empire or even in Germany, and knocked them out earlier. But they weren’t that foolish & irresponsible and desperate.

@33moneyball Laughable how? They almost advanced into Hungary in 1914, Almost encircled a large German Army I at the battle of Warsaw, tied down massive central powers forces, almost won the entire war with the Brusilov offensive in 1916, and (most overlooked): Advanced into eastern Anatolia, capturing Kars and threatening Trabizond.

@jacobprice2579 …After almost losing.

@jacobprice2579 Yes really. The Germans launched a spring offensive that made massive advances and almost caused a collapse of the Entente. And with men who were released from previously manning the Russian front.

@Thecaptainblackadder This video is BS put out by someone with no credentials.

@vjbd2757 No. Russia was knocked out because the German foreign ministry stooped to creating the Bolshevik revolution. The entente powers could have done something so vile and irresponsible with at least the Ottoman Empire or Austria-Hungary. But they weren’t that desperate and didn’t need to try something so risky. If the Germans had not planted Lenin and other Bolsheviks in Petrograd and not set up Pravda and supplied arms, etc. Russia would have been there at the end, and the central powers would have collapsed earlier.

@LemonHead-sq5ws You should be sorry. And so should your mother.

@mikepie6988 Okay you are completely clueless…

@zulubeatz1 Serbia was cut off and isolated and had to fend for itself.

@volbound1700 Germany’s back hurt from their own incompetence! And from their economic mismanagement, and the British naval,blockade (which they brought upon themselves).

@amindforall442 What a stupid thing to say in the context of a word war.

@michaelahern6821 That’s complete nonsense. Where do you people get these ideas from? Movies?

@paungabriel9360 The revolution happened because the German foreign ministry stooped to creating it. Russia was not as bad off as either the Austro-Hungarian empire nor the Ottoman Empire when the Bolshevik revolution occurred.

@RaidDK Russia never broke apart, it was knocked out by a Bolshevik revolution created by the German foreign ministry. And your statistics are completely off.

@robred19 The Russian army was neither illiterate nor untrained for modern war. They had some of them most recent war experience from the Russo Japanese war.

@MrTangolizard Your sentence makes no grammatical sense and doesn’t even sound relevant.
