Occupation of West Germany would be a much bigger deal from international relationships standpoint than Czechoslovakia occupation was. I'm saying that as a Czech citizen. Taking West Germany would be revisionist. Reaffirming the fact that Czechoslovakia "belonged" to Russia? No one expected West would be concerned, not after political decission was made during WW2 that Soviets are going to "liberate" the land.
- atemerev 8y agoAs a Russian, I am saying that taking West Germany had been the Soviet wet dream since the beginning of the Cold War. :) Soviets were (and probably are) just fine with revisionism, as the Ukrainian affair teaches us.
