re: #8 Cato the Elder

I remember those days. People who said the Soviet Union and the US were in many ways mirror images of each other were right, especially as regards “our” treatment of “our” backyard.

The stuff the Soviets got up to in Eastern Europe was bad. So was what we did in Central and South America.

How many deaths was the USSR responsible for in their sphere of influence compared to the US in ours?

That is one jacked up mirror!
