Well, of course, but pushing the Soviets back into Russia would have saved central Europe the brutality of soviet socialism it endured until the early 1990’s.

In theory, I think that pushing the Red Army back onto Russian territory would have been an excellent idea. However, as someone with some knowledge in the field (BA in Russian, MA in Soviet Studies), I believe that the execution would have been disastrous.

Probably. I guess the comparison would be between that and the terrible suffering innocent people suffered as a result of Soviet domination.

Invading Russia would have been mad. I wonder if we considered the use of atomic weaponry to wipe out war production facilities - mainly beyond the Urals - so that the Soviets would be unable to defend their occupation of Eastern Europe against indigenous resistance.

So you have no problem praying for war, just to prove how “right” you are about Trump,

Or to prove how wrong you are about Trump. If all out war breaks out and BILLIONS dies in the process, will those that voted for Trump be culpable for those BILLIONS of DEATHS?

After all, there are CAFers that believe voting for a “NON-PRO-LIFE” candidate, makes you culpable for the deaths of the unborn. What is good for the goose is also good for the gander?
honestly, there are no words to describe what I think about you in this moment.

Shirley you can come up with some uncharitable words.

During much of the Soviet era, the country was run by the KGB or its antecedents, with a communist façade masking it. Today, it’s run by “former KGB” masked by a non-communist façade. The KGB were essentially just gangsters then, and their successors are now.

Yes, because everything in this entire world is Trump’s fault, and you praying for war is just another way of expressing Christian brotherly love. I get it now, thanks for clarifying.
 
It’s a little shocking to see a desire for some sort of war that brings on the Apocalypse on a Catholic site. It’s a pretty common belief in certain Protestant circles.
 
No more shocked than I was. But I can’t say for sure that the poster who said this is Catholic.

Ridgerunner has been typing for three hours! Either he is constructing the ultimate argument or the KGB got him 😱

13 hours later @Ridgerunner is still typing!
 
Shouldn’t we be trying to mend relations here as Catholics instead of tearing each other apart with name calling and hyped up words? Jesus said “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God”. The Soviet Union dissolved in the 90’s but we have treated the Russians like we are still in a cold war with them. Back in the 90’s we had a chance to build bridges with them but we continued to play hardball with them. Competition? Do we always have to have an enemy? North Korea is a threat, ISIS is a threat, drug cartels are a threat. Can we try to do God’s will here and aim for peace.

This is interesting. I didn’t know that would happen. I had started a post, but then abandoned it because of holiday duties without erasing it. Apparently if one does that, it looks like one is still there when one isn’t.

Sorry to disappoint. But if I was Putin, I wouldn’t be able to stand myself and would start making changes. I would then probably be assassinated by some cabal that profits from Putin’s patronage.
