    Yep, we should remember that Poland was carved up by prior agreement between Hitler and Stalin. Weeks after Germany invaded from the west, Russia invaded from the east. Nobody says it, but Stalin was as culpable for the start of the European war as Hitler. Both of them invaded Poland, but we only declared war on one of them.

    We should also remember the Hungarians tried to break free of Russia in the 1950s and the Russians put down the uprising HARD.

    If I was still in, I would be the first to volunteer to go. Hell, I might even stay there.
    I loved my time in Poland. Only place in the EU I've been were people assume I'm Polish.

    Kind of how Rome fell in 476, but the Eastern Roman empire stood for almost 1000 years more.

    It is so ironic that our "bestest buddies", whom we either saved their asses (France) or rebuilt them (Germany), have been supplanted for loyalty and friendship by our former Warsaw Pact enemies. Oh what a tangled web we weave.....

    ABNAK, given the choice the Polish most likely would have been our allies in WWII. They just happened to be in the wrong place for that to happen. You point is spot on for sure though.

    I predict that Germany and Turkey will form an alliance that peels Germany and Turkey both away from NATO and maybe into the Russian sphere of influence. Turkey is already friendly with Russia, and Germany seems to be cuddling up to them of late.

    My dad was a history teacher. He said either my kids or my grandkids would fight the Germans.

    Actually, more historically England was the counterweight to continental heavyweight power. So as Germany tries to make take over control of the EU, the natural balance would for England and Russia to counter balance. Of course with the US and China, the old school rules are a little bit warped.

    That would be neat. We have a Fort Pulaski NP near Savannah, GA.

    Well, unless you staff it with jarheads and then it's Camp Pulaski.
