Russia the sleeping giant.

>1. What a coincidence, so were WE until Pearl Harbor got bombed.

No, we weren't. We were supplying the Allies with men, money, and material for years, letting Hitler and Hirohito wear out their swords. Russia signed a non-aggression pact with the Nazis.

>2. When your fighting an army that wants to control the world and is slaughtering millions of innocent people, EVERYONE against them is your ally. Notice the Soviets agreed to divide Berlin even though THEY won the race to Berlin.

The Soviets agreed to divide Berlin because they knew they couldn't afford (in money or military output) not to. Witness the airlift debacle.

>3. There's a difference between throwing bodies at your own problems and killing people just because they exist. That's the difference between someone who is truely evil and a military leader doing his job.

You don't know much about Stalin, do you? He literally killed people for looking at him funny. Six million died in the Holocaust? Stalin killed at least three times that many, possibly ten times. He was not even close to being "a military leader doing his job."

>4. No ****, that's what I'm trying to tell ********...cold war Russia no longer exists. That certainly doesn't mean everyone over there loves America, likewise, it also doesn't mean everyone is atheist or evil and hell bent on destroying America as the political moron would have folks believe.

No, but that's a pretty good description of the people in control over there.
