Tariq Ali

On a second review it seems the desribing him as British-Pakistani can be reasonably argued, so you have no more objections from me. Tariq appears on the British-Pakistani page in the photo montage which is a good indication of things! KingHiggins (talk) 22:25, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Verification needed that Greece planned not to oppose the German advance

What sort of verification do you need? I quoted Sadkovich. Isn't that enough?

AnnalesSchool (talk) 01:43, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As me and another editor found it implausible that Greece planned hand over their country to the Germans, I believe it is proper to add a "verification needed" tag to the disputed sentence. If the information is confirmed by other editors the tag can be removed. AFAIK, the Greeks merely planned poorly and committed to much of their army to pursuing the Italians into Albania when they should have held back units for defense. In the event, they could only offer little resistance against the Germans, but that was not intentional.--Sus scrofa (talk) 08:11, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Vietnam War

In Vietnam war you said leaving all contested territory in the hands of the enemy is not a victory, but then you removed the ((fact)) tag. I don't understand?😊OnBeyondZebrax (talk) 12:31, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not a victory for America, is what I meant. Sorry if I was unclear.--Sus scrofa (talk) 14:06, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The guy I've been chatting with here on WP claims the US had a tactical victory. He seems very knowledgeable about the Vietnam war. OnBeyondZebrax (talk) 15:50, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is a copy of his comments to me on the USA talk page:

The Socialist Republic of Vietnam with their VietCong insurgency (defeated in the field) did not defeat the United States tactically on the ground. Both parties agreed to a peace in Paris, which lead to the U.S. and SEATO force withdrawal leaving only the Republic of Vietnam and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. It was only after two years afterwards when the SRV broke the Peace Accords and invaded RoV, and the U.S. stood idle.
