Exactly,and this affair was not worth of going to war with Nato.

Difference is in the fact that Soviets were happy at home, creating silly communism economics.

The point here was not the sad history of Poland, but the outbreak of WW2 and the point that USSR definitely did not start it.

Well, if Wehrmacht which just conquered all of Europe in a year, attacks with most modern weapons of the day, Red Army which was just purged from political disent (Tukhachevsky coup) and,by the way, most of able officers,and Stalin did all to prevent the war including not react on obvious German war preparations....

This is really junk what you write.You do understand that Nazi Germany was the greatest power of its time, and almost conquered Moscow?They were on 20min bus ride from the center.

Watching the news of black men beeing shot on the spot by policemen in USA, I had different impression of police authority in US...

Of course, they are clearly stated in Russian military doctrine.

In every Syrian embassy in the world there is Assad`s photo,and servicemen who support him, and also in UN.It is officially elected gouvernement of a true state.One can`t decide in US that now it is not so,and we will arm some guys to kill him as with Gadhafi

NATO attacked independent state,and after failure to winn the war without huge military invasion with a lot of casualties, forced Serbia by terror-bombing of cities to give control over Kosovo, but UN resolution (1224) confirmed Kosovo remains part of Serbia.

I agree there;Russian have their tactics, cruel yet effective as we see now.

Actually, he planned to destroy any cultural heritage Slavs ever made,gas to death (Treblinka style) all he did not need,and keep some amount to work as slave labor.

Of course they have,and they decided not to use it to enhance the effect of fear among Syrian Islamists in order to end the war as quickly as possible.It is Russians, not Mary Poppins.

well, it is a very simplified version of events that happened.

But,I do not only read Russian press,and it goes from crazy nationalist to openly leftist (as Ekho Moskvy, very critical of Putin and openly against him).

However, somebody in Syria is ,in this very moment, fighting FOR Assad.And it is not only Russian 30-50 airplanes,or Iranians or Hezbollah.Their help is invaluable,but it can`t be the reason why Assad holds on after 5 years!Probably comparing to ISIS or “moderate”rebels, they find even Assad,well,at least “known” evil.

I like your arguments, or ,to be precise,the lack of any

Yes, there were fights in Paris.About 100-200 dead.In 1944 during liberation.Hitler actually ordered it razed to the ground (luckily nobody listened)

Well, after Iraq Afghanistan and Lybia (all failed states after US intervention) Obama learned a lesson.

Unlike you,I lived in not the harshest totalitarian state.Believe me,I know it from first experience:once police armed with clubs and guns, and shields starts beating protesters among which you are,the only thing you do is- RUN!!!

Yes but of you count all other religious groups in Syria,without Suni they could never last this long in a fight.Suni are in Syrian army, from lowest to top positions
