Well, the Soviets did invade Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Poland, and
East
Germany.

During WW2, originally, in all our interests.

ermmm....No. The Russians had an agreement with Hitler which
gave some of Poland to the Russians.

The Brits also had an agreement with Hitler. By luck that did not
involve any transfer of land.

Just Czechoslovakia.

That and fear of damaging the oil fields.

We (U.S.) import or acquire over 60 percent of our petroleum from
non-middle eastern sources. Push comes to shove we could use coal to
generate electricity.

That would certainly piss off the EuroPeon greenies! I say go for it!

Aw come on! All Hitler wanted was a little peace. A little peace of
Poland, a little peace of France.

Same thing that's kept the UK from using its nukes?

Mutual Assuree Destruction is what kept WWW3 from happening while the
Soviet Union still stood.

More importantly, the Russians believed that the West
would retaliate immediately with lots of nukes if they
ever tried it. The West tried to disspell this belief
in the late 70s with the philosophy that talking at
the Russians would keep them from attacking. This was
only 25 years ago and we're back to to bad philosophy
again.

Can there really be people in 8 unrelated groups interested in reading
this stuff?

And do you have any evidence at all that the Russians wanted to nuke
anybody?

AFAIK, the only time in the last 55 years when this was seriously
considered was when MacArthur wanted to nuke the Chinese; and I don't
recall that he was a Russian.

The Viet Nam conflict was something that my books call a village
war. I've got Gen. Giap's book and intend to find out more about
this.

The U.S. lost that one because Lyndon Fucking Johnson would not bust the
dykes and starve the beggars out. Nor would he use tac-nukes. That is
what happens when one has a liberal pinko stinko comsymp president.

What the U.S. needs to do now, that it is king of the shit-heap is to
learn from the Romans during their prime and impose the Pax Americana on
the world. In those (good old) days anyone giving the Roman government
any cheek was visited by several cohorts of legions. The leigions were a
mean lean kick-ass fighting machine (HOO-rah!) and ground any opposition
into the mud.

If thine enemy smite thee on the check rip his head of and shit down his
neck. Then rape his wife and cut the throats of his children.
