Russia was the one aggressed against, not the other way around. Had the Russians been the ones to start WWII, with the explicit support of their apparatchik population (as had Germany), then I would agree with that statement.
We just fire bombed cities day and night, let them starve, and then let the Russians or Chinese use them as slave laborers for years in which most never returned!
I lost a Great-Grandfather and a Great-Uncle fighting the Nazis. My Great-Grandmother escaped, with her arm tattooed as a lifetime reminder of all the hatred, suffering and death.
War is hell. If you start one, you'd better win it. All my sympathy has been spent on my relatives whom I will never know.
Ever hear of the Hitler-Stalin Pact? Hitler invaded Poland and then Stalin did as well and both split up Poland not to mention other lessor bits around Romania.
But I guess you are right. An insane dictator invaded another insane dictator! And that concerns the United States how again?
Who controls Poland was an American concern how again?
The Brits said they went to war on "Polish" independence in the first place. Did the USA? Nope. Our stupid warmongering cripple President who was surrounded by spies and lackies sold out half of Catholic and Christian Europe to his hero Stalin!
Poland was invaded and yet we left it in the hands of Communist Russian occupation? But we were supposed to care when the Germans invaded them again somehow?
To the troopers in the field - most knew it as well.
Russia was the one aggressed against And America was attacked by Iraq when? Who is the "aggressor"? Are you saying America is like Hitler!?
Russia did at least pose a potential threat to Germany? Why wasn't Hitler justified in his "pre-emptive" war againt the Soviets!?
I'm thinking of one particular flower to describe someone on this thread; that someone not being you.
