So you're sixteen huh? Happy Birthday bro !

Hey Luka, nice to hear again (good news) from you. I play DCS but with MiG15 & 21. Only spent a couple of hours trying to get the Ciornii Akula up and land without breaking it. I am usually at DDz TS almost on a daily basis from ~7 CET ...give me a shout , i am contemplating the idea of data-link support Zdravo ! Ovy

Happy Birthday Nick mate!

Absolutely right ! We can only hope our rulers will never forget that and not allow repetition. Just some personal thoughts over Greece and Yugoslavia: - Greece was way too important for NATO to accept losing such a strategic place , even though Russians tried what is called "export of revolution" the Army quickly reacted (see Turkey also) - not to be forgotten that Randolph Churchill fought side by side literally with Tito for a couple of years, ensuring a bond which was to last until his death. Tito promised his comunism will never be conducted from Moscow and kept his word Ah, one more thing - both countries never had direct border with the Bear... A parallel between Yalta and Malta is clearly visible , since you know more than me...when the big boys agree to share their toys there's nothing the little ones can do. Or is it? ~S~

@Mick: Countries emprisoned behind The Iron Curtain ( as W. Churchill called it) - new Poland ( ex Poland was chopped to the East by Russians and to the West by DDR) - ex- Czechoslovakia - ex- Yugoslavia - Hungary - Romania -Bulgaria - Lithuania - Letonia - Latvia I imagine it is evenj more sad to think at least Poles and Czechs who fought directly under British Flag to be left apart.. Starnge enough , just quoting again what i regard as the greatest politician ever ( sorry if i am not accurate ) " He have fought 5 years with immense prejudice to take Poland from the Germans only to give it away to the Russians" W.C.

Fortunately it seems we (the common people - just like Paul Young's song) ) nowadays have (some) power. There are - at least in your part of the world - honest groups putting pressure over our Bolliticians ( like Bob Geldof, U2 etc.) I am still afraid that The Master Pupeteers are still in charge. Notable succesess have been recordered in some countries , despite their influence , so there is hope ... As i was saying...please excuse me once again...my belief is that Brexit is simply a politicians way to justify their internal incapacity of maintainig what was once the most advanced social welfare and insurance system. Closing in the borders is not a good idea - refference : in London there are ~300 languages spoken, you were the first to have a (modern) Parliament , abolish slavery and dissolute racism barriers... Maybe the new generations ( both voters and MPs) forgot that the public ministers are our servants and not the other way round... BTW; don't look at the media coverage of the "coup" in Turkey...all silent here...nothing will budge without the Yanks agreement ...think at the nuclear stock here... Yes, sorry Chris, you're younger than 50 ) - DON'T MIND IT PLEASE

Thanks ALL for the feed-back...i'm sure you all understood it was meant in the most sincere way , even though we do not want to hear back from the past years- i wonder why? could we have done anything now?? But beware - whom who does know their history might be facing repeating it again... Arthur, one of my most respected historic figure is Sir Winston Churchill...i've been reading quite a bit of his or over his exploits. To all: did you know that he is is the longest MP in history - 60 continous years - and that happened when decency and honour were still most valuable arguments upon electing reps. Sadly enough , when the Potsdam Conferrence ended , both Roosevelt (dead) and Churchill - no longer you PM , were replaced by others... In full desperation to end the front against the Japanese, US guys pressed Soviets to enter war against Japs ...agreeing on all ( or almost) the Russkies terms. Altough it was somehow agreed on Yalta Conferrence that a new world with influence spheres will please Uncle Stalin ( including Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Romania ). The matter was directly agreed over a napkin sketch between Churchil and Stalin..this is not a joke.. But it was the aftermath of Potsdam Conferrence which settled the matter for good... Churchill warned the world about the peril and expansion of the Communism , too late ... Let's face it honestly: The World was tired and drained after all those bloody war years...what will one do to see his country and countrymen relieved...trading some far off territories ( which are not even belonging to you) No one to blame ...this is the game ...just that my grandpa died with the firm belief that the Americans will come and save us fro the Reds...Now they ARE here, and the Russians are threating US - i mean us - because of the the American bases established here, Do you imagine what happens if the russkies even fart toward us?? Please try to excuse any possible bad resentments or annoyments set by my reply. We are more smart that others to understand the true and real value of human characters ...one memorable song ,composed by a genius , says it all :IMAGINE Let there be peace! ~S~
