Where were the rest of the World when we invaded Russia?

Turkey promised to aid us, but got scared and backed off.

No other neighbor of Russia but us dared to attack.

Before you pride yourself too much, look to your own record.

I know my history.

I don’t wish to accuse other nations of anything, but unlike tiny Sweden and Finland you don’t really know what’s it’s like having Stalin for next door neighbor.

It is also worth noting that Sweden supplied Finland with anti-tank weapons during the Soviet invasions in the early 1940’s.

That is worth something.

I won’t denigrate your people. Nor do I have a personal axe to grind.

Our military cemetaries were filled in defense of Europe and ourselves.

The courage of the Swedes and Finns is well documented, and lessened the burden the rest of the free world had to bear...and we are thankful for that!

But- without us things would likely have had a different outcome, FRiend.

We keep getting closer to having him for president though.
