| MrBubbles said: it doesnt matter, the USSR was still a "bad guy" during the war. even if they were supplied by the allies and we had an enemy that was the same. i will not ignore the crimes they commited. the USSR was as much a blight as the nazis, probably an even worse one because of how long they were allowed to exist for. |
Pretty much. Your Swedish, right? I am sure that you'd have a bit of sensitivity towards the subject, as most Poles, Estonians, or any other nation that sits right beside Russia or a nation that engaged in a war with them.
There are a lot of interesting, alternative scenarios presented by WW2. But in the end, I think the real issue came down to who attacked who first. Germany gets the blame because they and the Japanese attacked mostly first. If it were the USSR and Japan doing it, we'd of learned the same grim outcomes that the Soviets provided.
In other news, I bought Hearts of Iron 3 because of these WW2 discussions. Fantastic tool for learning about WW2.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
