Terror attack in Istanbul, Turkey...

I think there is a little bit of confusion here about cold war. Let's try to explain it:

1.- Nazis were the leading party in Germany from 1933 to 1945. Fascists. Nowadays it has to do with the Right wing.

2.- In the USSR (Rusia and the rest of the states) they were communists. Nowadays it has to do with the Left wing.

3.- USSR fought Germany in the WW II.

I needed to clarify this 'cause "fascist Nazi Russian dogs" is the biggest nonsense I've read in years. Now some facts:

1.- Unlike most of americans think, people in the USSR weren't crazy people who aimed to destroy the world. They were just like the USA: They wanted to have the millitar, economical and political supremacy over the world. In this aspect, USSR = USA, but with completely oposed economic systems (mangled communism vs. leeching capitalism) and concept of freedom (hidden dictatorship vs. democracy).

2.- In the cold war, all the world was in danger 'cause of the two big powers, not just 'cause of the USSR. USA also had nukes pointed to our asses, as well as USSR had. To me, all the nukes explode the same way, no matter if they are red or have nice white stripes.

3.- If you really think they "[...] would have nuked most of the rest of the world just for fun" you should learn to see things in perspective. There is something wrong with the general conception about the world matters. It is not so simple. Don't consider it as another G.I.Joe episode!
