you decide what to include or exclude.
In my posts, yes. Only I decide what is of interest to me. In this case, nothing before 1945.
This pretense of a dialog is laughable.
It was never meant to be a dialog. I am not interested in dialogs.
Short period of 50 years is not even close to history
Again, it is my decision how far back I want to go. If we go all the way back, then we will be talking about Columbus and Indians. And, later, how many Americans were killed in the "Civil" war by other Americans because the South wanted to separate. Those numbers, btw, were into millions, but to you it's the Soviet actions in Prague and Budapest that make the Soviets into monsters. So how many did the USSR kill there?
As for the numbers, your horizon is to narrow, and eyes are deceiving you.
I never agreed to be psychoanalyzed. Instead of playing doctor, get the numbers. If those numbers could prove your point - West good, Russia bad - you would have already shown them with glee. Your problem is that the numbers are really bad for the West and the US. Just add up Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq - twice. I mean all the dead - on both sides.
How emotions make men say stupid things was best seen when comparing Katyn to Auschwitz. To the average Pole, Katyn is almost as bad. Go figure.
