What would you call Stalin taking part of Poland in the beginning of WWII? How about the absorption of the Baltics and the establishment of so many Satellite nations in Eastern Europe? I'd call it opportunism.
I know all about this because I went to Latvia (lovely place, nice people) without knowing the history in full. Kareoke is big over there and after a few drinks (about one third the price of the UK), I thought I would do my normal favourite for the bar.
Back in the USSR - by the Beatles.
Naturally the place emptied like a fire had broken out. I thought it was my crap singing - it was only next day. when we went to the unsubtlely titled Museum of the Occupation of the USSR that we got the point.
Is there anyone who wants to go with the Europe v Asia without nukes and US support for the West. I think this is what happens when Germany becomes democratic because it is what actually happened in the Cold War but there were plenty of nukes to keep the peace.
