Just Asking in the Cold War Who Would you Pick?

I'd have to say the West. In the end they succeeded. Also, my school has a lot of socialist views which I can't stand.

Wow, America was part of NATO?

I had no idea.

The Far East. Just on a whim.

Its easy to pick when you know how it ends.

But does the end justify the means?

A world where Nato won is probably far more pleasent than a world were the Soviets won.

No, but when you're talking in the past tense, changing the situation becomes difficult...

The end has no influence on how you do something? I'm sure there's some things where it does justify the means.
i'm not sure what you mean by "changing the situation becomes difficult", a little help here?

perhaps it is, we won't know for sure though.

We can compare life in NATO members to life in the USSR. I'll take NATO, thank you very much.

Simply, when you're talking about something that already happened, justification doesn't really matter any more - it happened, and nothing can change that.

A world where neither existed would be a more pleasant one.

This makes my brain hurt.

so what happens in a court case then?
They deal with past crimes all the time.
sure i'm talking about a smaller affair, but is it not better to know that which side was the right side by the very means used than the apparent useful outcome?

This makes my brain hurt.

oh it makes sense, in a roundabout way.

They were a side?

Well the poles (North and South, ie: The Arctic and Antarctica) were a poll option. Eh.....nevermind. My poor attempt at humor.

A court case, fundamentally, does not seek to justify or not to justify an act - rather it determines if an act violated a statute. By strict application, law cares not for the reason for a crime, but only that it was comitted.

Of course, being human and accepting that law is not and should not be an absolute, we do take into account circumstances and justifications. But only as a part of deciding appropriate punishment or leniancy due the law-breaker.

NATO.

The right of private property shall not be infringed.

Middle East, if you going to be fight, at might as well be 1) over something worthwile and 2) alongside people you don't loathe quite as much as everyone else.

I'm not buying it. Probably just part of his liberal Jew agenda to unionize the working class and turn them into gay communist Muslims.

NATO because I'm anti-Communist.

NATO allied with the Mideast allied with the Arctic & Antarctic.

Polar Bear Marines armed with Uzis - beat THAT!

Depends. My family came from what would have comprised East Germany and part of Poland, so chances are if we had never emigrated I'd be behind the Iron Curtain. I imagine I'd also be at least somewhat sympathetic to Communism, at least until the Prague Spring or thereabouts.

That being said, I'm pretty sure I would have had no intention of crossing over to the Eastern Bloc at any time.

Yes the perfect time for Skalvia to Annex the Poles....

No, it's just me. *blesses Mirkana again* :D

I would support the Soviet Union, just for the lulz.

Protoss.

I support the side of Albania, and they were on their own side, against both Western bourgeois imperialism and Soviet/Chinese revisionism.

I thought you'd support these guys (http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=BLi_m656tQQ)...

Whatever, my side kicks your side's ass.

No, Albania was the hard-core Stalinist country of its time...kind of like North Korea 1.0; they were also dirt poor, backward, and an all-around embarrassment to the rest of the Communist world. I mean, they made the rest of Eastern Europe look like a comparative utopia.

The brave people who stood for democracy and justice against the imperialist blocs, whichever flag was waved and whichever version of class oppression was propagated.

Go NATO!

i was thinking if you going to call the Warsaw pact Soviet Union and allies.

You should call NATO USA and allies.

The arctic would totally rape the competition in the cold war! I mean, come on!

Long live Marx!
Long live Lenin!
Long live Stalin!
Long live Hoxha!

Long live Marxism-Leninism!

Just Asking in the Cold War Who Would you Pick?

Warsaw Pact/ComEcon. If managed better (even within a socialist frame: I'm thinking of a Gorby-style perestrojka, or a human-face socialism a la Dubc'ek, instead of the façade "destalinisation" carried by Khrus'c'ëv) the potential is awesome.
