Now, NATO now encompasses nations of eastern Europe that were once key Soviet satellites. It is truly remarkable to see how much has changed in the last twenty years. Which can lead one to ponder how viable the continued existence of communism at the dawn of the 21st century.
Hence the US in Vietnam, the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. Many fail to realize that at one point of the Second World War, vast quantities of Soviet M-44 Mosin-Nagant rifles were manufactured in the United States which were shipped out to the frontlines of the Eastern Front in Europe. This just leads one to speculate how great of a manipulation the United States actually had over the Soviet economy. The aftermath of the Cold War was perceived long before the fall of the wall.
It is a universal fact that history is written by the victors. It is the duty of a student of world history to mediate between two extremes to interpret a neutral standing so an independent point of view can be formulated. Throughout the turbulent years of the Cold War era, both blocs were competing for world supremacy showing no real remorse for the common sake of humanity when in the pursuit of its own individual expansionist objectives.
No nation is perfect, including the USA. But to say that the USA is as bad as the Soviets indicates a remarkable level of brain washing by the current state of our now worthless learning institutions.
The problem with trying to have an intelligent conversation is the fact that they are currently in the United States and attending school. Todays textbooks are entirely worthless because they teach a romanticized version of Soviet communism, which was a brutal regime. To say it depends on a point of view, is just silly. The USSR was not like the USA where government is representative of the people. Under a brutal regime like the Soviet empire, the people don't matter. Just ask the Georgians.
oh yeah sure, can't defend your side intelligently, so you throw insults and blame it on education. I LIVE and attend school in the United States, and I'm still communist supporter. What now bitches. I know both sides, am learned on Cold war history, and etc. And guess what, USSR thought the same way about the USA. and nothing is really "evil". Just depends on point of view.
