text: James, if only we could re-write history.  
  
   Remember that Russia joined Germany in attacking Poland.  Italy was an ally of Germany. So was Japan.  And Cossack's in Yugoslavia along with several other independents.  Of course, we had the Roman Catholic Church and the Pope cooperating with Germany.  
  
  Now if you want RECENT history perhaps we should focus on Russia and the Crimea and Ukraiine, or we could go with the US invasion of Iraq. Lots of places to choose from James.
  
  I'd say President Trump is going to get the US kicked out of NATO or have a European defense alliance replace NATO.  Putin must be doing cartwheels!
