Stalin seized the eastern half of Berlin because the Allies were stupid enough to let him have it - not because "chaos abounded."

Whaaa? Where did you go to school junior?

It was the Ruskies that took Berlin.

To enter that rat-fight would be like throwing gasoline to douse a campfire!

Yeah, we might have taken Berlin... but what was to gain?

Nada, zip, ziltch!

You asserted that Stalin took East Germany because of "chaos." I contend that Stalin took East Germany because the Americans and Great Britain let him. Your assertion is incorrect. Read a book. Might clear things up for you. The final point in your response is bizarre. You ask what good could have come had the Allies NOT agreed to let the Soviet Union gobble up East Germany. "Nada," you say. Now, gee, I wonder just what of a positive nature might have come out of Stalin being denied the ability to enslave eastern Europe. Mmmmm, that's a toughie.

People.......I think before you judge others or even just make a single comment about others, to anyone in general, and in which you're not really sure if it is the truth or not, speak not. Speak of the truth and not of hypocrisies.
Look at yourself first. Judge yourself first. Who are you? What are you? For sure you yourself will know the answer....nobody else.


Just a thought; If there's no religion, no countries, no government, no wealth, no poverty, no hate nor pain..........no internet, no TV, no diet food, no Oprah, no CNN or BBC or New York Times........then.............
I think this is a better world.
