Wasn't it wonderful for the Soviets to sign a treaty with the Nazis, who
then abrogated it and invaded Russia, giving the Soviets the ability to
fight back and then overrun a huge percentage of Europe and impose
itself over kazillions of people and cause us to waste trillions of
dollars on the Cold War? Yep, tremendous contributions. So, have you
signed up for the Trump-Putin Fan Club?

I know it isn't fashionable for you Trumpsters to remember this, but
Russia ain't our good buddy.


I think the Russians decided that since they lost about a third of
all of the people who died in the war from all causes and all
theaters, they deserved to keep what they fought for. In any other
time prior to that in human history it was the normal outcome of war.
