#1 Given 20+ years of NATO's eastward expansion + countless USA sponsored coup attempts in former Soviet republics + psychotic Russophobia in Baltics & Ukraina (also sponsored) - only an idiot would expect Russians not to revert to their (historically justified) position "Either we're strong, or we're western colony".

#2 ..as opposed to the former East Bloc colonies of Russia? I don't think the Poles needed much encouragement from the West.

#9 As a history student in college, I found Stalin to be one of the most interesting characters in all of history. Interesting, yeah. Fascinating. Kinda like a rattlesnake.

Having said that, it seems to me that only someone who wants war would keep dredging up old grievances from a war that was fought 80 years ago. Can't we learn our lessons from that war without starting a new one?

'Legal' slavery ended over 150 years ago.
