It is not World War III yet, but we have now entered a decisive stage in the long war against Moscow.Some historians view the two world wars as a single military conflict with a twenty-year truce in between. In other words, it was a long European war to contain Germany. And while Germany under the Kaiser was quite different from Hiter’s Reich, it is possible to trace the roots of Nazi brutality back into German history. There was another long conflict in the 20th century, the war between the democratic West and anti-democratic Russia. However, it is only now, when it is entering its second, 'hot' stage, that we are becoming aware that it has been waged all along, and also with a prolonged truce in between active engagements. Actually, it began as a war that didn’t happen. In September 1939 Britain and France declared war on Germany because they had been committed to defending Poland from a foreign attack. But Hitler’s tanks were not alone in violating the Polish border. Less than three weeks later Stalin’s Red Army marched in from the east. Their actions were coordinated by the secret protocol of the Molotov-Ribbentrop non-aggression pact, which stipulated exactly how much of the Polish territory each dictator would grab.
