Having been in Germany in the mid-50s I think I can safely state that the wall was there to keep people from leaving the East to get out. The guns didn't even point toward the West unless some poor slob managed to get through the fence. I was always very unhappy that I couldn't go to Berlin but I had an MOS that didn't allow me to go there. Too many secrets involved.
You have a good thread here and THEY are trying very hard to change the subject, call it lame, etc but that doesn't make it wrong. Oba mao didn't even celebrate the National Day of Prayer that used to be a national day, till he got elected. He has missed a number of things like that and they always try very hard to defend him for his derelictions.
still answer my question nobody taking this thread anywhere, just answer the damn questions
soviet union defeated itself.. not the US..one thing i do know is that reagan had something to do with apartheid support does that count
overall he's talking about obama not celebrating so i ask what about the previous guys do they get a pass for not.
how many avg americans are celebrating the fall of the berlin wall
Reagan defeated the USSR by forcing them to spend themselves into bankruptcy. It was the final straw. Weak Carter never would have accomplished what Reagan did against the commies.

But he has time to go pick up the Nobel Prize he did nothing to earn.
So let's see here, a president who appoints openly communist people into his administration, who likes Chavez and Castro, who refuses to be critical of the Chinese communists' abuse of human rights, who won't celebrate the fall of the Berlin Wall, who says any news agency not supportive of him is not news...
why would he celebrate? that fall caused a billion people to have a chance to live without communism. Im sure BO got drunk that night in the late 80s to drown his sorrow...
We're talking about the Cold War era here, and you're trying to derail the thread.
haha no derailment here the atttitudes of communism and socalism are still here which is why i said what said.
speaking of commies we're friends with some and have a history of installing them.
