"had destroyed the 6th German Army for a second time, this time 100 km inside of Romania."
Bush was correct in stating the facts about Russia's turn-about and eventual imprisonment of eastern europe. I wish he would be tougher on Putin in general. As for the Chinese govt, according to Sen. Infhofe, they are making huge inroads into oil rich nations. They control the panama canal, in a sense, and they have a robust military. Who is more of a potential, below the radar threat because we buy so much of their stuff? China.
Outside the fact that it was the Soviet Communist government, it was also 60 years ago. Stalin is dead. Krushchov is dead. Breznov is dead. They're all for the most part dead. And it was the Russian people in the Russian city streets that toppled the Soviet Union and broke up that union. Why don't you blame the Georgians, Ukrainians, etc for their roles? They all had citizens not only enforcing things: aka NKVD/KGB but they were often the decision makers: Stalin-Georgian, Beria (second in command)- Georgian, Krushchov (3rd in command)-- Ukrainian, etc.
