individual,

The West contributed by making concessions to Stalin.

cont'd,...

And the Cold War began when this uneasy alliance
between the US and Great Britain and the Soviet
Union started to fall apart.

Hassy,

I recall some time back on the Forum you were advocating for a pre-emptive nuclear strike against Pakistan, on the grounds of; "get them before they get us". With its 200 million people, the destruction of millions of innocent men, women and children would be assured. The difference between the likes of you and a Stalin or Hitler is, unlike the former two, you didn't get the chance of carry out your fantasy, or you're just an old bloke full of piss and wind.

Was Truman a Socialist when he nuked hundreds of thousands of innocent Japanese.

So it is OK by Paul that socialists did kill a few hundred million, & still are in some parts, because I advocate taking the first strike prerogative if necessary against a prospective enemy.

Good one Paul.

Hassy,

Socialists killed no one, those directed by greedy warmongering Capitalists and tyrants killed millions. I think you are way off the mark by trying to blame "socialist" for the destruction that has taken place in the world. In fact to be a good Socialist you need to be a pacifists, otherwise the interests of Socialism cannot be served. Your call for the destruction of millions of innocent men, women and children would be you serving the interests of Capitalism, like a Truman and others before and after. Your period of participation in the military was only to serve the interests of Capitalism, was it not? Men like Stalin and Hitler were serving destructive ideologies, they certainly were not Socialists. Buddha, Jesus Christ, and a few other leaders in history were Socialists, in the modern day the likes of Mahatma Gandhi could be described as leader who was Socialist, and to say they were also pacifists, who destroyed no one would be true as well.

On appalling TV, CCN viewers have dropped by 68% since Trump has dropped out of the limelight. Only the haters watch CNN, and when there is noone to hate, CNN is irrelevant.
