Vlad is Vlad and has been so for all of our lives... all of the lives of of parents and grandparents too.

The West (Winston Churchill and to a lesser degree George S. Patton) wanted to invade the USSR at the closing of WWII. It never happened and from that day until today, Vald has run amok, at certain times going rather mad about it.

We missed our chance those many years ago, and one day we will have to face off with Vlad. Sure wish we would have listened to Winston and George.

@Ontheroad it does seem like a bit of a missed opportunity, in hindsight ... at a minimum, perhaps the Allies could've prevented the USSR from developing nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles

@SW-User I'm afraid that would have ended up about as well as having tried to prevent the same in other countries. Sometimes you go big or you don't bother (or go home).
