Secondly, the DDR [E.Germany] was not a true socialistic country." Can you give me an example of a "true socialistic" country? No. I don't think there is one. "Instead it was a satellite dictatorship with a somewhat socialist bent that fed resources back to the mother country. There was no way the DDR could ever look good so long as its dictators were beholden to Moscow." You ever been to Moscow, Ted? If you were to get outside the ring road around Moscow you would have found yourself in a 3rd world country. Being "beholden" to Moscow didn't even help Moscow. And yet American leaders had us shaking in our boots over the 'might' of the Soviet Union. "I am learning that this country should probably do everything opposite of what your leaders are promoting. Maybe then we will get out of the messes we are in." Pure B(D)S..... Not at all.......its the truth. For a long time, at least 30 years, the right in this country has been calling the shots and setting the tone. And only now are we starting to see it for the BS it is. Not BDS but BS.
