Just for kicks, what was to total cost of occuping Berlin compared
to the cost of defending all of Europe?

Which attacks on Europe after WWII have I missed?

The fact that there were no attacks just proves how good we were at
protecting it.

The fact that no elephants pass through my apartment just proves how effective
my refrigerator is at keeping them out.

So is it your opinion that had the US not sworn to protect Western Europe
during the cold war the USSR would probably still not ever attemped to take
over Western Europe?

I don't know. Would the US have attempted to take over Warsaw Pact countries
if the USSR had not been protecting them?

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.



Problem is, none of his points come from anywhere but Wikipedia.

His "viewpoint" is pretty meaningless considering it's viewed through his
rectum.

I like this part best:

Gig 601XL Builder :

"So is it your opinion ......?"

MX:

"I don't know."

He doesn't even know his opinion.

Phew. I was beginning to worry that your replies were actually sensible, but
it's good to see you're back on track. ;-)
