1 Maybe if you had left the Finns alone rather than attacking them in 1940, it would not have been a problem.

2 The only country I believe, to fully repay it's WWII debt to the US. Yes, a very tiny little country and longstanding Russian adversary.

5 Re the trial transcript story the other day...

Their verdict was harsh, but just, thus:
"Were the Germans ungood, doubleplus?"
Said each murderous Red,
Be he living or dead,
"They were worse, comrade judges, than us!"

6 Accursed, which came first, your Red wedding
Or Adolf and Joe's heavy petting?
Your personal treasons...
Or Party's malfeasance?
Please never forget... your forgetting.
