Accepting? Should have made a different choice? It is always easy for the armchair analysts and researchers in years after to say "one should have done differently"; much more difficult in the actual events (and likely more often than not, most people would make the same sorts of choices).<br /><br />One of the historical quirks is how the Soviet Union "seemed" better once they became our allies. The airbrushing of the horrors of the 1920's and 1930's is one of the more regrettable outcomes of that.Toirdhealbheach Beucailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14872794169534403463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-17891879861876947642022-05-24T05:22:46.532-07:002022-05-24T05:22:46.532-07:00It always seems to be the case, what looks simple ...It always seems to be the case, what looks simple and straightforward, often isn't.OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-10501256764528541762022-05-24T04:57:42.077-07:002022-05-24T04:57:42.077-07:00"If only it were so simple".... so true...."If only it were so simple".... so true....Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05450082315014407506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-84083022734513120972022-05-24T04:49:13.497-07:002022-05-24T04:49:13.497-07:00Hitler is alleged to have said that, might be apoc...Hitler is alleged to have said that, might be apocryphal.
