They get it.

That part is deliberately left out so their Obama Narrative isn’t sullied with facts.

Oops I meant Hungary '56 not Czech '68
(silly me).

Regardless of what you make of Bat of Pigs, and the Kurds etc. Poland wants us to have some skin in the game. Otherwise we might run away when the going gets tough.

**Archives Confirm False Hope Fed Hungary Revolt
**
By JANE PERLEZSEPT. 28, 1996

Newly released documents concerning Radio Free Europe broadcasts during the 1956 Hungarian uprising against the Soviets confirm what many Hungarians remembered and others suspected: that commentators encouraged the Hungarians to battle on in the false understanding that they would receive reinforcements from the West.

The documents were among those made public this week at a conference on historians’ access to archives from the cold war era.

that would be an absurdly stupid bet.

Well I bumped a 4-year-old thread so . .
