It's interesting that people are free to abuse the US or the UK from the safety of their bedroom whilst in these countries but the others mentioned would have you banged up.
Sorry to be a pedant, but the three time periods I was talking about was WWII, the cold war, and present day (cold war continued).

You and WalesBales are starting to say something interesting on this thread, but perhaps are scared of PC backlash.

It's funny you mentioned being critical from the "safety of one's bedroom" a my bedroom is just a few hundred yards away from where the Berlin wall once stood. I have the privilege of jogging over from West side to East and back again every day (well more like once a week as I'm a lazy sod )

Thank you so much again Mrs!! You are expanding my brain constantly! Will give these a watch tonight. Muchos gracias.

I am dubious about narratives that suggest that Russia is stronger than it's public perception. I looks to me that it's geo-political power is in distinct retraction. I'm not sure we would be seeing a ramping of US aggression abroad over the past 15 years if there weren't conceding of power from the Ruskies.

Anyway, thanks for disclosing your hidden agenda and in a way I agree with you, but it is entirely dependent on the current leadership. What if Corbyn was in power would we still have expansionist policies? Would you be complaining that he isn't lying enough, and he his hindering our efforts for world domination?
Please expand. WB. You're about to say something well worth debating. Is the West right to expand in the manner it is?
