Hungary, and other countries and wanted no part of it.

Of course Roosevelt and Churchill were fine with supporting Stalin and
dooming eastern Europe to decades of oppression.

They had no choice about that. It was never going to be possible to stop
that.

and then were wily enough to drive a wedge between Catholics and

In the case of the Crimea in a perfect world it would be given back to

As if.

I think the residents have decided several times. Independence would be
their preference, with Russia as a second choice.

At this point there is no going back.

We\'ll see if Putin\'s invasion of the Ukraine fails
as badly as his attempt at invading Georgia did.

If in some rainbow and unicorn world
Ukraine regained control of the Don Basin and Crimea,

Don\'t need rainbows or unicorns. Russia couldnt
even manage to keep what it had in Afghanistan.

how do you think
ethnic Russians would be treated?

They would be allowed to fuck off back where they came
from just like those who moved into the Baltic countrys were.

Something like the way the Soviets
treated ethnic Germans on their way to Berlin?

Nope, nothing like.

Not Churchill. He wanted to carry on the war and drive the Russians out
of Europe, Roosevelt overruled him, and left Russia a world power and
pushed Britain into decline.

He spent the next decade trying to wake the Americans up. Until NATO was
finally created.

No. Not with the eyes of the world on them.

Ukraine has no history of ethnic cleansing. Russia has. So has Germany.

I suggest you keep schtumm until you have learnt that Russian propaganda
is not the reality you think it is.

We should have let the Nazis smash Russia and then smashed the Nazis.
Not a penny to pick between them. Both genocidal thugs run by maniacal
psychopaths, both intent on establishing European Empires, no matter
what their slave countries thought.

You have no idea, mate, what the former USSR countries think about Russia.
I visited the Czech Republic shortly after the Wall came down. Image a
Tannoy speaker on every lampost so that the people could not escape the
government propaganda, ever.

East Germany on a warm afternoon. Nobody on the streets except a drunk.

No. No one wants to be part of Russia. No one. Even its Oligarchs have
vanished into obscurity. 2 million of its youngest and brightest have
fled the country.

Half a million are dead or maimed for life.

The rest are told that Britain has to eat squirrels because Russian
sanctions have destroyed its economy.

Even Russians only support the Kremlin because it\'s imprisonment or
worse if you dont.

Wake up and smell the coffee. There are better places and there are
worse places to live, and anywhere run by Russia is one of the worst.

I t9ld you not to beleive Russian propaganda.

The reason there are so many Russians now is that they drove the
Ukrainians out post 2014 and made huge incentives for Russians to move
there.

They have mostly gone back to Russia now.
