Why is Poland weaker than Russia? [390]
Not every single instance of criticizing them is "anti-semitism". Abusing this term will only lead to its inflation.
...and always meant to end a discussion, not to advance it. Just like the claims that one is a racist or a xenophobe. Then, even numbers, like the FBI stats, are hateful.
Only after they fell out with Nazi Germany, did they become 'allies'
I never claimed that the Soviets were allies. They were the enemy of my enemy and, therefore, helpful. Big difference.
Allies or not, by D-Day, the war was over and it was so thanks to the Soviets who had no choice but to fight it. The American war with the Japs was purely elective and, thus, totally avoidable since no liberation of "America" was at stake, as it was with the USSR. To see all the Americans killed "liberating" some God-forsaken islands in the Pacific is gut wrenching.
No, I am not a Russian but I can set the the emotions aside (Katyn included) and give credit where it is due.
