My Brother-In-Law is Hungarian, and he was a baby when his parents fled Hungary just prior to this incident. He was only months old when his Mom, Dad, sister and brother secretly fled Hungary in the middle of the night, having to leave everything. They did so because his Dad was an Engineer in Hungary and was ordered by the Communists to leave his family and work for them.

His Mom told us how she prayed the baby wouldn't cry, or make any sound while they were escaping.

The Euros have had 30 years to prepare their armed forces at least minimally. They chose wine and leisure.

The Deliverance of Sister Cecilia is the story of a Slovak nun who escaped from Czechoslovakia a few years after the Communist takeover. Their group during the (very dangerous) escape included a baby and they were very worried that the baby might cry at the wrong time and cause them to be discovered.

I suppose that the reason that international response to this situation is different from the Kuwait war is because Russia has nukes.

In terms of modern Russian history, this criminal act against humanity by Putin has no parallel. On the post-Cold War global stage, maybe the closest comparison would be Saddam Hussein’s raping of Kuwait in early 1991, but even that had ended before the USSR had ended.

This guy doesn't get out much. Guess nobody told him what Obama, McCain and Hillary did in Syria and Libya.

James Michener wrote a book called “The bridge at Andau” which is really good that you should check out, if you haven’t already. He wrote it at the time of the Hungarian uprising, using many cross-checked interviews of the Hungarian refugees fleeing into Austria. The stories they had to tell of the Hungarian secret police are hair-raising.

That's what we did.

Come to your senses, People of America, or much worse is yet to come.

And just as no one came to help Hingary

no one will come to help Ukraine.

I thought Kengor had more sense. Eisenhower instinctively knew US intervention in Hungary would mean Us/Soviet force on force combat and the Soviet Union would not and could not allow defeat. Soviet defeat would end the USSR. Before that the Soviet leaders would go to general nuclear warfare. Russian leadership will not permit a similar defeat. Enthusiasts for this short victorious war need to ponder this.
