Right its not like the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan didn’t kill anyone or result in the disenfranchising of the Russian people with their government. |
You hadn't really read my post fully, or my previous posts, have you
The invasion of Afghanistan was a terrible war, for Soviet soldiers as well as obviously the Afghans. Vietnam wasn't pretty either. But for both, we're talking hundreds of thousands dead in a war that, if ideological in nature, was in both cases one for maintaining a sphere of influence rather than a systematic eradication of whole groups of nations.
Noone can whitewash Soviet rule. But it just doesn't run up in comparison to Hitler's plans, neither on the ideological nor practical levels.
