[JohanOlsson]

just look at the american/western tanks, they are totally better and newer than the poor Soviets once, its such a huge difference. western used new military whyle the commies still used military from WW2 hehe

@TheArizonaCardinal Mostly, the escape was done by playing that you are going on holiday to Hungary, Croatia or some of Juhoslavian countries. You couldnt leave your country, otherwise you were shot on sight. My friends uncle managed to escape, but my friend had a hard life after that. All of his familly was doomed. You couldnt study if someone from your family escape, even in some cases you went to prison. I can only thank god that I was born in 1992.

communist suck

[llmorbvsll]

Stupid discussions here about wether the US should have taken action or not. I am german and I am quite happy that no one started ww3, Just take a quick guess where the prime field of battle would have been?!!?

[Darkmanskin]

People like to blame the USA, but people forget that this was all Hitlers Germany fault.

@lastinlineband1

Don't you mean Jam Doughnut ...

[noobersers]

@ChaosDynamics Americans call it jelly.

[ChaosDynamics]

@noobersers

If they call jam jelly, then what do they call jelly?

[noobersers]

@ChaosDynamics Jello I think.

[Artas1984]

United States were a fucin pussy, they did nothing.. Cowards...

[redmustang03]

@Artas1984, and start WWIII. You know if the US fired upon the guards or fired upon the tanks the US, Europe, and all of Russia would be destroyed including you in fact you wouldn't exists since your parents would have been evaporated by the nukes.

[Artas1984]

Soviet did not had nukes until 1954, let alone ballistic missiles until1958.

Why did not the United States do anything from 1945 to 1954? Like said, cowards..

[redmustang03]

@Artas1984, they did have atomic weapons starting in 1948. I didn't see you go after France and Great Britain. They were part of it too. What you mean they didn't do anything, did you forget the Marshall Plan that built up West Germany's economy while East Germany lagged behind or the Berlin Airlift that gave supplies to Berlin when they were blockaded. So don't tell me the US didn't do shit because they did and kept West Germany afloat from getting run over both economically and militarily

[ValkiryeMax]

@Artas1984 Your English is terrible, so please spare us from your pathetic insults if you can't even say them in proper English.

[denis2112muc]

@ValkiryeMax

you give Americans a bad name!!

learn about history and what happened, and stop mocking people for speaking english as a second language

[TheNancypower]

@Artas1984 you did not totaly got the idea of the cold war

[esmuneca]

Bush; "why would someone try and run knowing that they would shoot him?'

Hello he ran because what the East Communists did was not right. He didn't want to live in a state where everything someone did was monitering you. He wanted freedom, even if he died in the process he ended up free on his own terms.

[KevinIsBorn]

@esmuneca Like the famous " Give us freedom, or give us death!"

[Kelthuzad126]

@esmuneca Or because if he stayed the commies would have shot him, if he ran they would have shot him. Either way he was fucked.

[fwbz]

[votumseparatum1]
