If you could bring back one great artist that has

All nations have blood on the hands historically, but that does not make their atrocities equal.

A few examples, both Great Britain and the U.S. practiced slavery, but the plantation system and the institutionalized racism was far more brutal. The U.S. committed genocide against the native Americans, but they didn't gas and burn them as a matter of policy. Towards the end of WW2, if you were German who would you rather have surrendered to, U.S./Britain or Russian forces?

Onhwy61, Americans were shooting prisoners at a rapid rate at end of WW II , British were not, Russians were sending them to Sibera.
In April "45 US Army enclosed 300.OOO German POW's, largely old men and boys in a field with no shelter , no blankets ,little water and less food. In one month 200.000 were dead. I could give you a hundreds of examples from every angle from any time. It is all irrelevant .
DEAD IS DEAD WE ARE ALL GUILTY

I have assumptions based on pattern and questioning myself every time:
1. No doubt, that USA destroyed USSR diplomatically and each Soviet Republic became sovereign country.
2. I guess that going back starting from WW1 Russia was not ready for war and suffered largest death toll among all other countries. Usually it happens with countries that do not want any war at all... So Lenin or Lennon, who really cares? I'd vote George Carlin again to keep the original topic for one of the reasons in this tube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeZ3nCXyb_Q
3. WW2 Was certainly one step forward, but Adolph turned out to be extremely enthusiastic and dangerous to ahem... and that's why was destroyed.
4. Post USSR collapse: Constant improvement of strategic positions and development of the army that is larger than all armies combined in the whole world!!!
5. Russia is not ready.

Wow i didn't know that.

Not knowing is OK, not willing to know and/or to care is ignorance.
