The debt that the world owes to the Red Army is too great ever to be repaid or acknowledged.

Thank you for putting agave on the Ted Army. Russia lost 20% of her population in World War II.

I’m not sure it had to be this way.

There was a lot of collusion and double standards in the systematic destruction of Poland and Ukraine. Pure horror, where people had no direction of safety to turn to.

Taking a contrarian take on this post, the title could easily been, “The First Flag and the descending Darkness”.

Two morally evil political ideologies battled each other with two nuts directly responsible for killing millions of people as a result.

The immense political (moral?) failure of European governments following WWI just greased the skids to this world wide conflagration.

In reading history and knowing not a few WWII Vets personally, the only positive aspect of the Soviets fight against the Axis powers (from a Western perspective), was the prevention of the Germans & the Soviets of gaining operational abilities of the atom bomb.
