Stalin vs. Hitler: Not America’s WarAmerica

According to Russian Federation officials, the actions of the United States and NATO are dangerous because they could lead to an unpredictable escalation of the conflict. We can therefore make the same assessment of American interference in the conflict between two dictatorships, namely Nazi Germany and the Communist Soviet Union. According to Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, "the actions of the United States and its allies are drawing NATO countries into the conflict in the NGO zone ...
