@yogthos Out of all countries in the world, USSR and Russia have the least moral right to teach about it ;)
@kravietz US still has a far worse track record there :)
@yogthos I wouldn't say so. The poster was printed in 1956 - so just after Soviet invasion on Hungary, or in 1986 - so during invasion on Afghanistan. Half of Europe was practically occupied by USSR with Soviet military bases guarding its interests.
@kravietz yeah, but compare what kind of governments and social policies USSR created in places it occupied to those of US. Just look at the horrors in Asia, South America, or Middle East.
Compare Afghanistan under Soviet influence to what it turned into under US as an example.
@yogthos I compared :) And it likely looks like this for every country that was under USSR control I'm afraid
@kravietz so where are the USSR versions of the contras, Pinochet, Taliban, and IS then?
@yogthos So at best, USSR involvement into state terrorism matched that of CIA. In reality, it was much more aggressive, since CIA never organised outright terrorist acts on USSR territory as KGB did with RAF in Germany.
@kravietz I'm talking about the kinds of regimes USSR and US supported. Pretty much every US backed regime is either a dictatorship or a terrorist one. USSR created socialist governments like the one Vietnam still has today. So, that's a pretty big difference between the two.
