[Eric in the Ozarks]

The Germans have forgotten how Russia treated them in 1945.

If you peruse the language in the Marshall Plan, America rebuilt Germany to prevent it from becoming the potato field for Russia.
Russia wanted every piece of industrial machinery packed up and carted east. Germans themselves would become farm slaves to the Soviets.

I doubt much has changed in the Rooskie playbook.

I dont think the Russians have forgotten how the Germans treated them, either. 14 million dead soldiers and another 10-20 million civilian casualties
