Then you don't like questionning your own side or have never talked to an actual person who lived in East Germany or in USSR.
Most of the Americans I have talked to have a very flat and somewhat caricatural view of the eastern block and few are as knowledgeable as they should regarding what the CIA did abroad. As usual, there are nuances.
To be honest, as an European with a fairly unsympathetic view of the USA, the Cold War is very much a conflict between terrible and terrible.
- narag 4y agoYou're wrong, I'm not American. I dated an actual person that lived in the USSR. She was somehow conflicted, but talked in no uncertain terms about the soviet boot. Also you're wrong. I question everything. Of course, you don't need to like my answers. But it doesn't help that you take for granted things that you have no idea about me.

I remember someone coming from "the west" and bringing me ... a small bag of candy, chewing gum and crap like that. I rationed myself to one a day and made it last 2 months because it was stuff I had never seen before and it was all much better than whatever locally passed as candy for a 10 year old. I could also tell you about my parents discretely asking me if i told any jokes about the current regime at school etc. So please cut that crap.
