I think the West knows more about Total war then any one else. How about Sherman's march throught the South? Very mild wasn't it. Not so. America lost less than a million soldiers. Russia lost 25 million and is still recognized as the righteous winner of the war just because of that. Had the Russian gotten their hands on atomic bombs before us, it would have been even worse. Casualties caused by the West were minor compared to Soviet Occupation right after 1945, a continuing WWII for Stalin that we did not dare fight. And that says it all. The West uses the steel to plow the land, the East uses the steel to plow the steel into weapons.

But was in not the fact that could afford a good life and a military, and the East could only afford a military, and did we not win the Cold War.

I think we did, otherwise Soviets would be looking around my barracks, rather than us forming groups to go and look round there’s and say to are self’s dam I missed that.
