Well: 2) Er, hello? Stalin? Hitler? Mao? 3) See 2). Seriously, do you think the Cultural Revolution has a price tag less than US killings? Quote:
The countries who went "communist": It is tough luck, to a certain extent. Singapore could have become communist. If you haven't guessed by now, I stand on the right wing. Serbia: Well, they managed to pull the alliance system into the First World War. Studying their modern history is fascinating.

That is democracy? Sure, if that is a liberal democracy, then Stalin's my uncle.
@Mumitroll: Oh, didn't realise your post was on "foreigners". Hmmm... And what's Erzherzog? (Oh, it's German for Archduke. Sorry for my ignorance.) While I do know that the assassination of FF was merely a trigger, the Balkans, particularly Serbia, did contribute some steam to it besides the killing. Stalin's major overseas killing "contribution" was in the Spanish Civil War. Also, for Stalin, do you count Eastern Europe within the USSR? Cause if you don't, the Red Army did a fair bit of killing there themselves. And why distinguish between "within" borders and "outside" borders?

2 It's true. The assasination was just the trigger. The tension betweem the country and the game of alliance did the rest. By the way, could you enumerate the ressources said to be responsible of for the implication of the US in Bosnia ( if, of course, it the reason was the ressource)?

And at least the U.S. did a nice job rebuilding countries like Japan and West Germany, I cannot say the same for Russia and East Germany... Oh and since you seem to be comparing death tolls for the countries in modern history, lets not forget the Soviet-Afghan war... Quote:

The USSR was ready to invade Japan in case you did not know by the way, it was probably the biggest reason that the US even dropped the bomb. They wanted to keep them out, and they also wanted to strike fear in Stalin. Japan could have easily become like Germany, but Asia's version.
