    I hope Europe and Nato start working together with all smaller countries to form a new Nato to protect against American imperialism and American aggression. Cause together, diplomacy is better than force

        Tankie right here. USSR did the same as US did. At least EU didn’t invade any third-world country recently.

            Khrushchev and Brezhnev USSR (these were the ones that invaded the most) versus Eisenhower, Kennedy and LBJ (then the comparison gets bad with Nixon)

                  Only Afghanistan was an invasion and I oppose it, soviets did wrong there. Hungary and Czechoslovakia wont be called invasion because it was to suppress a west backed coup, and death toll was nothing much. Vietnam certainly no, on the contrary they helped vietcong fight the french, american invaders and win the civil war
