if it werent for the nuke, Soviets would destroy ....
If it werent for daylight it would be dark all the time too.
You sound like a fan of an aggressive and imperial Russia.
Not at all.
In 1948 Stallin allmost invaded Serbia (Yugoslavia)
We recieved US aid F-84s, F-86s, M-47s etc..
But Stallin halted.. we hade guts.
When later revieled by historians, asked why he dednt attacked Serbia he said
“Im not as stupid as Hitler was to loose my elite troops in years of partisan warfare. I am not stupid I will not cross Danube”
NOW
That is what it takes. Guts to defend your country and not electing a lawyer from USA to be president, to make NATO-like gutless army and cry on TV “ooohh America, please heeeelp!”
