 I know, and it was a horrible thing to hand eastern Europe over to the communists. It was a foolish, foolish, move on FDRs part that set the world up for 40 years of cold war. In fact, we wouldn't have most of the word's problems today if we didn't stop the tanks until we rolled into Moscow.

Which reminds me of a joke I sometimes use in meetings when one side seems too unwilling to compromise.

Listen Stalin, this isn't Yalta. You can't have everything you want.

OMG... thats just stupid :)) My god... run down Moscow with what? ^_^

 

Well, I suppose I could borrow a quote from Civilization, "We back our threats with nuclear weapons", but the simple truth is that the US was at the height of it's millitary power at the end of WWII. Russia as well as the rest of Europe was exhausted. The US's industrial base and population base was untouched during the war. If the US said to Russia, no you may not have eastern Europe nor may you influence east Asia, Russia could do nothing to stop it.

 

 

Wow... if you really do bealive that this is true, then my friend we have nothing to discuss because you are then probably the most blind person ever. The reason Japan surrendered was not because the atomic bomb... that was the final drop. They had nothing left to protect themselves, they where trully exhausted... and all they had left was their tiny island. Now do you trully bealive that dropping a nuclear bomb on Moscow ( a city that was in ruins btw) would have made the russians give up the entire eastern europe? The US barely had troops in mainland europe by the time the war was over. The russian army was by far bigger, and back then land combat was still arguably the dominative one during a war... If the US would have kept pushing the front in matter of months their already not stable economy would have went down the hill my friend ;)

 

Highway: no... I know that your not an american :P You made that one clear many times before :))
