NJS 4375 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 We aren't talking about the US we are talking about the spread of Russian forces in eastern europe. So why weren't the US deterred by the Russian weapons? - the point is the deterrent was a lie. is this your anti west stance kicking in again ? No - both sides were idiotic. However the US entered more wars post 1945 than the Russians which I don't mind pointing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 No they didn't. yes they did ! Can you supply anything to back that up? By 'that' I mean that CND believed the Soviet Union would get rid of all their weapons once the UK had done the same. Do you mean I should be looking for a comment by Kruschev promising to give up its arsenal if we did the same ? The CND "wanted" unilateral disarmement because they were gullible. The Russians would never have laid down their military machine back then. No, I just thought the comment "CND supporters thought if we laid down our weapons, the Russians would have laid down theirs" was misrepresentative of the movement so asked if you had anything to back that up. No hidden meanings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentAxeman 174 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 "Baroness Ashton, the new European Union foreign minister, is facing questions over her role in the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament amid claims that it may have had financial links to the Soviet Union. Lady Ashton, who was last week appointed EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs, was treasurer of CND in the early 1980s. She has said she had no contacts with the Soviet Union and had never accepted money from Moscow. The UK Independence Party has written to Jose Manuel Barroso, the European Commission President, asking him to investigate whether Lady Ashton was party to payments allegedly made to CND from the Soviet regime in Moscow. The letter, based on allegations made by Vladimir Bukovsky, a former Soviet dissident, claimed that it is “very likely” that CND received “unidentified income” from Moscow in the 1980s. “CND was notoriously secretive about its sources of funding and did not submit its accounts to independent audit; however, after public pressure they were audited for the first time in 1982-1983,” Gerard Batten, a Ukip MEP, wrote. “It was found that 38 per cent of their annual income (£176,197) could not be traced back to the original donors. The person responsible for this part of CND fund-raising, from anonymous donors. . . was a member of the Communist Party of Great Britain.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I don't doubt there was some KGB infiltration into movements like CND at the height of the Cold War but you could say that about dozens of other organisations not to mention every branch of the Armed Forces but it doesn't make them sympathetic to the Soviet Union as a whole, does it?

Czechoslovakia was Soviet rule when they rolled the tanks in, despite being a Socialist government. It still operated under the Soviet's system of economy and industry which is why Dubcek attempted his reforms. The Soviets used the Brezhnev Doctrine, which allowed them to invade any country that they thought was swaying to capitalism, as a justification for invasion. They never invaded anywhere to claim land but rather keep the satellite states they already had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
