The above exact post was written by user "deepglacier" and then deleted. Account for user "bluetreeroot" was created 5 hours ago and posts the same. What sort of a pathetic simpleton are you? Clearly you are ignorant of

Russia has been more sinned against than sinning. Gorbachev was lied to and manipulated with assurances of a "Marshall -like plan" to get him to dissolve the Soviet Union. During the Yeltsin years the West literally had advisors d

This was one of the greatest injustices ever in the history of the world for which reparations have never been made. Here is a related talk by Dr. Shashi Tharoor on the ways Britain bled India dry - https://www.youtube.com/w

Thank you! The series really went overboard with the negative KGB paintbrush.

In order to be aggressive, you should train yourself to not be afraid of any possible consequences and sacrifices . Thats it!. Most of the time, our imagined dragons/troubles never come to pass. People imagine all sorts of dire conseq

Are you just an ass or are you just trying to get a rise out of people? It is hard to have a conversation when your tone is combative rather than rational. You are trying to employ the "Gish Gallop" and throw all sorts of irreleva
