"We are locked and loaded!" What is the point of having our weapons if we're not going to use them? 100+ missles striking simultaneously. Right on SC, we let the Russians have Berlin. The Russians had two significant reasons for signing the non aggression act with the Nazis. 1. They were not prepared to take on the Reich after watching them blitz through Poland. 2. They wanted a chunk of Poland. As the war was coming to an end, the ussr had no intentions kid giving back any territory, especially Poland. Roosevelt declared war on the Japs, Hitler declared war on the U.S. That was the best thing for the brits, communists, and the rest.
