And under so soft situations! Please remember that the USA sponsored
an irregular army in Ukraine even _after_ WWII came to an end. What
would have the situation been if some foreign, hostile, nuclear power
had secretly supported an irregular army operating, say, between
Denver and Topeka? Because THIS, and not less than this, is the true
measure of the situation in the USSR.

I know this is an English only list, but cannot but remember the
saying in old Argentina's "carreras cuadreras":  "Emparejá y
largamos!". That is, "want to confront with me at a horserace? OK,
let us use similar horses, and we shall see who is worst rider!"

Isn't it a point of fairness?
