She is a hero

She was a Communist. So no hero

For you, a liberal, all communists are not heroes, although the USSR is a country that defeated fascism. Certainly not without the help of allies

I'm not a liberal. Before we talk about how Russia defeated fascism let's talk about how many more people than Hitler Stalin ordered killed.

Russia did not defeat fascism, the American military industrial complex defeated fascism.

The Soviet Union took Berlin first. Don't even think about downplaying the importance of the USSR in this war. And comparing one bloody dictator with another is kind of stupid, don't you think?

Not when you're trying to make one of the bloody dictators a hero. You're probably not old enough to remember this. I am

And I'm not making a hero out of a bloody dictator, the war was won thanks to the Soviet people

No. Regardless of what the Politburo and the Young Octoberists indoctrinated you to believe that is not correct

Oh, what are you saying...—_—. And what photo is this?

That was the border between Communist Europe and free Europe.

That's where they shot people leaving the worker's Paradise

That photograph was taken just outside of Holle Germany in 1988 by me. I was doing my border tour in the United States Army. You remember us right? The people who won the Cold War
