Eh, you can split us Europeans up into two camps; those who do not want to see the problem and those who couldn't look away. The second camp saw the craziness when the later Bush was elected a second time.

one of those bush votes was to ensure he could clean up his own mess.

what kind've voter intimidating sh* is this? down-voted for being honest, promoting understanding and responsibility?

jokes on you guys as i firmly believe bullying racketeering and intimidation are quite literally terrorism when applied to population groups consisting of more than (1) individual.

careful on that slippery slope.

I mean, Operation Paperclip and Von Braun were central to the success of the Apollo program. The Soviets had a similar postwar-German-capture program, if I remember correctly.

Not that similar https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49583883

Similar in the sense that they captured and extracted them, but you are right that Germans were not as central to the actual operations of the Soviet program.
