I disagree. The Russians spent years dropping a trillion bombs on Afghanistan. They only were forced to stop when the Soviet regime fell in 1991. And don’t forget the Russians controlled by brute force not only the nations of Eastern Europe but a host of other puppet regimes and states. Every time there was any serious resistance to their totalitarian rule it was crushed by military action. It was also Mao and Stalin who started the Korean War.
Our problem is with the thought process of the left that is stuck in the same delusion they had after WWI. After that butchery in the trenches they thought that war would never be fought again....WRONG.....war will happen when evil people control a government and see weakness on the side of whoever would oppose them. Peace is not an absence of conflict, peace is victory.
