So is it your opinion that had the US not sworn to protect

I don't know. Would the US have attempted to take over Warsaw

Pact
countries if the USSR had not been protecting them?

Good grief.

Mx has a point. The situation was symmetrical, i.e. from their POV

the
Warsaw Pact thought they were "protecting" themselves from an

imminent
attack by NATO.


Really, you think so? I love revisionist history.


Almost as much as subjectivist history based on Marxian dialectic.




Oh Bill Buckley has joined us.
