Is Deontay Wilder a country bumpkin?

Stalin was smart, he only made the pact with the ****'s,tu push the western countries against each other and they would forget about him, a very smart tactic that worked, the only problem was Germany steamrolled france without losing anything major,Stalin had counted on the fact that the war would last for a longer time then i did and that they would cripple each other army's

Well Stalin did reach out to Britain and France first, but yeah... the Brits distrusted Stalin just as much or possibly more than they distrusted Hitler and dithered and delayed, again possibly kinda hoping Germany and Russia might go to war and take the problem off their hands. It was only when it became apparent to Stalin that no full military pact was forthcoming that he started to respond to German overtures. But then yeah - first priority was to bring the Red Army back up to wartime readiness after the purges of the late 30s had annihilated a large part of the officer corps and to allow the introduction of major new hardware like the T34 en masse.

As to the rest - yeah, absolutely Stalin was expecting a prolonged stalemate in the West with the combatants bleeding each other dry... a situation which could only benefit the Soviet Union or at the very least give it time to prepare for a future war in which it would have every advantage. Germany of course wanted to ensure that it wouldn't have to worry about the threat of an attack from the East whilst it carried out operations in Poland and subsequently in France and the Low Countries. Musta seemed like a win-win. In the event Stalin did buy enough time - by the narrowest of margins, but things certainly didn't go as he'd envisaged.

Country bumpkin is usually used to refer to redneck uneducated white people from the south. I would not use that term to describe him. He has a thick southern accent, but mainly he's just dumb. Watch him closely as he speaks you can see he has no idea what's about to come out of his mouth he is a really, really, really poor speaker. I don't think he's even uneducated per se, he's just not bright.

There are eloquent people who have the same accent as him. Being from the south doesn't mean you're dumb.

Believe it or not I ain't got a particular dog in this one - I'm more a fan of Wilder actually, stylistically, and I prefer him to Joshua certainly, but part of me has to be rooting for Fury as a fellow Manc and as an underdog. I'm just hoping he's got enough left to make it a fight worth remembering (for the record I got Wilder by mid rounds KO).

Have a good weekend, man. And get your ass on the Pick 'em next year. Let's see what you're made of...:boxing:

Lol! Ok. I'm probably a 95% picker in boxing because I really have no particular fighter that clouds my judgement at the moment. I'm pretty sure I'd take you fools to school
