I like how you berate me for making assumptions on the OP, and then make assumptions on the OP.![]()
I am assuming nothing. I'm taking the OP at his written word and he's only written about whether the Soviets will get an occupation zone or not.
He's pretty clearly asking about what's going to happen involving the Soviet zone.
He has asked what's going to happen involving a Soviet occupation zone. He's asked whether there will be a Soviet occupation zone or not.
He isn't assuming that a Soviet zone would still exist, but he's not assuming the zone would be exactly the same, either.
That's not what's he's written. He's proposed meat grinder on the Eastern Front which keeps the USSR within or close to it's borders by war's end, he suggests that result would make the USSR seem like less of threat to the West, and then he asks if ... the USSR still gets an occupation zone, or are they ignored?
In his two posts he never mentions the possibility of a different Soviet occupation zone and he only asks about whether there would be a Soviet occupation zone or not.
I cannot fathom how you can read his two posts and come to the conclusion you have. Please quote those parts of his two posts in which you believe the OP is asking about different occupation zones because I simply must be missing something.
