So in this way you justify the Soviets action yet

Justify what? Who didn’t do the same thing is my question. If the Soviets were really after as much land as they could grab they liberated Manchuria. They were under no obligation to return that to China. They took islands from the Japanese and have not returned them either… but then the Japanese took Port Arthur from the Russians and didn’t return it till they were forced to.

…that is generally how it works… land taken by force is usually relinquished only by force. Ask the Serbs.

so if you are anti-West, then are you anti-Soviet as well? or do you hold a double standard even though the Soviets used the same methods as other “Western powers”

I did not say I was anti western… that is merely PhantomIIs opinion… he also thinks I am anti American too I think. Sure the Soviets used many of the same methods as used by the West. But on a much smaller scale and for a much shorter period of time. They spent a lot of time fighting for survival rather than aquiring territory.
