What source do you use for your 'facts'? What 'really big' intercontinental bombers did the Russians have at the time? They took the three US Army Air Forces B-29 Stratofortresses that landed in Soviet Territory after a missions over Japan in 1945 and the flight crews were interned. The Russians then DUPLICATED (reverse-engineered) those B-29s (down to the bullet holes) to create the TU-4 bomber by mid-1947. They had no long-range intercontinental bomber until they duplicated the US B-29.

I think it's fairly evident that most of the folks on here have had pinko teachers that drummed the "we can't beat them so we should join them" mindset into their heads.

To recap:

1. The US is a bunch of of pansies who can never beat the Soviet Union in ANYTHING (to the moon or even hockey!)
2. WW2 would have been lost if not for Russia.
3. The soviets were our brave allies, so it would have been wrong for us to try to stop them from dominating Europe and elsewhere.
4. Their superior technology and numbers has doomed us to 2nd place.
5. Communism isn't really a bad thing - It's just a force we cannot stop.

Did I forget anything?
