WWII-related spin casts shadows on our V-Day

How do you spin a war, 64 years in the past? Piece of cake. You just concentrate on a few conspiracy theories to make the story (or history) interesting, and add something that serves as a delivery vehicle for your spin.

Thank you Russia Today for this wonderful article, thank you Evgeny Belenkiy for RT, in educating the Americans to our true history. Speaking of history - when Queen Elizabeth I (FIRST CAPITALIST CEO), sent Sir Francis Drake to purchase the state of California and then she sent Sir Walter Raleigh to purchase the state of Virginia, after recalling all her father's foolishness with the CROWNS' "money" (putting this material into the basic FRACTIONAL RESERVE idea), she was not anybody's fool, clearly. BUT, the silent power spread, and this is the secret in the equation: sovereign, in reality. Yes America was an experiment and THOSE who paid the high price for this new idea of more and more and more ... the improved royal idea of "free (oxymoron) market capitalism," (NATIVES of "America") are the same flesh and blood indigenous who must always find how to fit the idea of "freedom" into the idea of genocide. In a word, NOT. HOWEVER, Americans have grown used to the idea that we are a sovereign nation and we are born with inalienable rights, which is how the creator of all CHOSE and, therefore, created ALL life forms in the universe/s co-creation of freedom, obviously. The problem is, in the US there have been certain families who hold incredible power and the harvesting of the mind | brain can be easily and effortlessly found to be a very-very serious problem for any human, free or not. Freedom is only an equation should the most important organ in our being stay in tact as healthy. Otherwise, there is no such thing as human and freedom does not translate in the world of dumb animals, clearly.

I very much liked reading the article, but I must take issue with one sentence... "America has grown its own historical background, and due to human nature, it turned out to be as bloody and full of unfairness and suffering as it is full of victories and prosperity – not unlike the backgrounds of other nations in the world." This is completely wrong. Do not compare the USA to Russia, Germany, and other countries that, at times, could only be described as evil. The USA "experiment" with democracy and capitalism can only be described as a fantastic success. Our GDP is 3 times larger than the next largest single country economy and wealth here is evenly distributed with the largest majority of people in the middle class.
