The Soviet Empire has been tossed into the garbage bin of history where it belongs, and it will not be resurrected by nationalists or under any other pretense! They think the resurrection of Soviet symbols will fill the Russian people with nationalists pride (and presumably nationalist hatred for those "ethnic minorities" who were really responsible for Communism) but instead it fills the whole world with revulsion and disgust!
"No one is trying to blame Russia alone for anything. The problem is that Russia is now so secure in her complete and total innocence that she thinks she can once again dominate her neighbors and reduce them to "spheres of influence" and "buffer states." People who think that way are anachronisms stuck in the cold war!"
I think you have the wrong impression of how Russia is "acting" now. Russian television (state-controlled and private) is choc-full-o historically based mini-series and documentaries detailing the horrors of the Communist regime. These shows pull no punches. The younger generations know their history (now) and are not willing to repeat it - HOWEVER, they don't want to be treated like post-WWI Germany and have their pride stolen from them.
Also, if you look at Russia's history you can better understand why they act they way they do vis-a-vis the near abroad. Doesn't mean I always agree with their actions, but I at least understand them. Besides, their recent actions in the near abroad have done nothing but to screw their relationships with neighbors and drive them into the arms of NATO...
Not to mention those idiots in Seattle who put up a statue to Lenin. At what point did the IQ in Seattle drop to the low negatives?
No, they lost because unlike the under funded Whites, the Reds were first receiving 50 million gold Deutche Marks from the Kaiser and second they were being funded by the likes of the Rothchildes, Rockerfellers, Armnhammers, etc who were promised big contracts for their investment. Meanwhile, at least at the beginning of the civil war, there was still fighting up and down the eastern front of WW1. Lets try to be honost.
The enslavement of millions behind the Red Iron Curtain is nothing to be proud of. Now that the cold war is over, should we forget that it even happened? Stalin's Empire was worse than Hitler's! It lasted longer and took more lives! Only COMMUNISTS celebrate it!
Oh and don't forget such units as the Latvian Rifles supporting the Communists. Let me guess, they were Russians too? /sarcasm
bttt
Credibility? You have none. You've proven yourself to be a slanderous hysteric with an obsessive hatred towards Russians. My wife finds your postings funny, she think's you're a total kook. I think she's right. It was hard enough at first to convince her that not all Americans are people like you. Thankfully she now sees you as the fringe minority you are.
We're still waiting for your "proof". You've been called out and served.
So when is your "proof" going to show up? More lies but that's all you're made of.
Oh talk about having a forest to harvest in your eye. Gads, your self-righteousness is only surpressed by your slanderous nature.
Funny that when I accuse you of lying, you accuse me of hypocrisy. You don't defend yourself or deny that you are a liar, you just say that I am too. That is a tacit admission of guilt. Don't try to preach my own religion to me COMMIE SCUM!
6 million Jews in camps
6 million Poles in camps
20 million Soviet citizens butchered
1 million other Poles butchered, such as in Warsaw
1 million Serbs
1 million Greeks
1 million Italians (after 1944 when Italy switched sides)
1/2 million French after Overlord
50,000 Britians
500,000 Danes, Belgians, Netherlanders, Hungarians
2 million Germans (disabled, mentally retarded, aristocrats, unionists, conservatives, etc)
Total: 39 million in 9 years.
Stalin: 36 million Soviet citizens and about 10 million others in 30 years. So sure, Hitler killed fewer overall, but thankfully his career was ended rather shortly. Stalin averaged 1.6 million per year, Hitler averaged 4.3 million per year, not counting war dead.
So I take it you can't back up your accusations? As usual I see.
That is a tacit admission of guilt. Don't try to preach my own religion to me COMMIE SCUM!
Only in your warped world. So care to prove I'm a commie? Oh that's right, you don't ever, do you. No, your SOP is to insult and that's about the extent of what you've added to any threads.
My SOP is to point out that people who defend Stalin are commies.
You mean Russia can't have a Monroe Doctrine of it's own?
Again, the conversation is about a statue of the three leaders who ended the Nazis. But why should that stop you? Nope, you just need a venue for your hatred. So again, prove we ever defended Stalin. Oh that's right, you can't, you never can, nope just LIE LIE LIE LIE ACLU LIE LIE LIE DU LIE LIE LIE NAACP LIE LIE LIE. Yup, some others with your SOP.
Oh and for the record, I don't accuse you of being a hypocrit, I accuse you of being a liar and you've NEVER ONCE disproved me.
Maybe they shouldn't sell 100,000 machineguns to the communist Hugo Chavez if they want their own "Monroe Doctrine."
jb6 defends the Hitler-Stalin pact and blames World War 2 on the west. (classic commie propaganda)
jb6 defends Stalin and Hitler's partition of Poland.
jb6 defends Stalin (Not excusing Stalin BUT...)
Why not? We sell F-16s to al-Qaeda supporting Pakistan.
