"Today, in the US, we have the typical "Wag The Dog" scenario."

Guess that that is the trouble with you lot, you watch too many movies and you end up actually believing them.

"They are only interested in furthering their military pseudo-security aims."

WTF??? In plain English please, just a load of meaningless babble.

"There is no way the Soviets would have enslaved the world."

Really they didn't too bad a job with most of eastern Europe.

"There is no way the Soviets would have enslaved the world. They didn't have the resources."

So you do not doubt their intent then, your only comment is that they did not have the resources, well Stringsinger they had twice the resources that Germany had in 1940 and the Germans did not seem to have had that much trouble with the task.

Psst Stringsinger more people died in the USA last night in road traffic accidents than were killed in Iraq or in Afghanistan combined. What you lack is perspective.
