> cia coup there's no need to defend the ussr's retardation. the soviets fucked everyone, including russians.    the polish plan was to hold the eastern portion of the country while the brits and french wrapped up germany from the west. there's controversy on whether the brits and french could've easily done this, since a few german generals post-war claimed that they had almost nothing on the western border because hitler really didn't expect them to start the second world war over poland. who knows if this was true, and it doesn't matter since the brits and french decided that they'd rather wait around to rearm and do things the "safe" way rather than rush to poland's rescue.  you're right, it was complete idiocy, especially after the molotov-ribbentrop pact became public. they placed their hopes on a pie-in-the-sky dream rather than biting the bullet of concessions to either germany or the ussr.    i don't want to live in russia because it's not my land. america is a hellhole right now, but that's why it's our responsibility to at least stand here as long as we can.
