Yeah, pushing someone of a cliff is definitely not the same as smashing their head with a rock.

  Kommies completely restricted western trade. It was rules of engagement at that time, and US actions were soft comparing to kommies.

    Sure, I guess sanctions were there just for the kicks without any real substantial effect. Just so that poor non-commies don't feel bad about themselves, since, you know, evil commies had already supposedly restricted all the trade. /s This has nothing do with "rules of engagement" and everything to do with the fact that the US had dominated global economy as a result of WWII and since then had been doing everything in its power to eliminate any possible opposition, competing, or really anyone who doesn't bow to Pax Americana.

      > the US had dominated global economy as a result of WWII or it is just capitalism is much more efficient than communism, or whatever bloody kommies tried to built.
