Tailgunner my friend, let's take a deep breath and review the facts honestly.
jb6 and you are both strong anti-communists, if you saw things clearly you would see that you should be friends with him instead of swearing at him. Why do you spend so much energy making up falsehoods about what other people think?
You cannot seem to grasp that Russia and Russians were perhaps the greatest victims of communism. How many Russians died from Stalin? There are people in Russia who hate communism more than you can imagine. But for your simple way of thinking, all Russians are communist and love communism. This delusional thinking makes you a less effective anti-communist. You would be more effective if you saw things as they were.
Communism is an ideology, not an ethnicity or nationality. Let's work together to fight the evil ideology of communism ok? Why can't we be friends?
No one who really felt that way would try to justify the erection of a Stalin statue. He never condemns the resurrection of Soviet symbols, he only justifies them. He is a poster who has been banned twice before and has always shown that his true loyalty is to Russia before the US. He is a damned traitor.
