@poul: Kosovo = Ossetia

Poul, USA could’ve waited awhile and let Hitler conquer USSR. Not only not delivered a million free trucks and airplanes, but no 8th AAF campaign or D-Day until Stalin was safely beat past the Urals.

Next, post WWII, USA could’ve used its a-bomb monopoly to dismantle USSR, fairly and properly, on the basis of the million broken Russian promises re the Iron Curtain, the hostile occupation of Eastern Europe.

skipping around the 20th century, USA could’ve screamed over Stalin’s atrocities inside USSR, starting with the deliberate starving to death of 11 million Ukrainians. USA could’ve made war on the basis of USSR’s continual stoking & fomenting of terror wars by its weaponizing of ”liberation movement” criminal murder terror gangs all over the world, most esp in the mideast & central America & Africa.

USA could’ve gone to the source in the Korean War and Vietnam, and made the instigators pay. Vietnam nearly broke America in two and isn’t finished yet with that. Hundreds of thousands of dead and maimed American soldiers & grieving moms & dads & wifes & sons & daughters & sisters & brothers from Korea & Vietnam while the Kremlin paymasters and blackmailers and extorters & brainwashers sat back and laughed.

Central America. Even this Islamic jihad, USSR is stoking if it didn’t invent it.

When USSR finally collapsed –due to its own rotten governance –USA could’ve destroyed the Russian rump state, and could’ve again when Russia repudiated its debts and took bankruptcy a few years later. But in each case, USA loaned and granted and gave billions to help Russia, and to bring it into the world economic system.

Yes, there’s the KGB zombie bizzaro-world interpretation of all these things –but the Occam’s Razor says that first, it is what it is, and what it is, it is.

And now, Kosovo is the ONLY thing that matters?

The only thing that has ever happened in the two nation’s relationship?

And besides, Kosovo was in the interest of fighting the jihad, which presumably is in Russia’s interest, too.

And if Kosovo was the Most Important Thing to Russia, why the hell didn’t Russia get in there and manage those atrocities, or if faked, manage the PR campaign that made the west believe them ?

It was the pictures and the memes that made the west go in –so easy for KGB to’ve countered, no?

Maybe KGB didn’t WANT to counter them?

Maybe Kosovo has been a set-up all along?

But even if not, then, considering the period since the Hitler/Stalin Pact of 1939 and Katyn Forest and Finland was forgiven, and all the WWII help that Russia never thanked nor even acknowledged, and all the other forgivings that Russia has since received –for its wars and terrorisms and cold wars and crimes and evil and the 50 years of stunted ruined lives of 100 million captive east European national populations, Russia can’t forgive Kosovo?

RUSSIA CAN’T FORGIVE KOSOVO ???

i call complete, utter, total, incredible, bullshit.
