What? This has nothing to do with my disdain of America... It's a fact that the USSR was more aggresive during the Cold War, had (and likely still does have) more nuclear power than the US, and while the US did point missiles back, there were always more pointed at them. I'm in no way dissing America, only going by history. He said "WE SHOWED YOU REDS" and I just didn't understand how America ever "showed" the USSR. Ask your parents, ask your grandparents; they lived in fear of the Soviet Union for much of the 50s and better part of the 60s. Even in the early 1980s when Reagan (jokingly) made a comment about the US bombing Russia, Russia took it seriously and always had their hand hovering over the launch button. It's unbelievable how close things came to an all-out nuclear war.

And unless your ancestors are native American, you can't really say you're of American heritage.
