Should NATO be folded in favor of a European Union unified command?

[Husar]

This was seventy years ago. Some of those people are still alive to this day.

I was told in another thread that the bay of pigs invasion was also too long ago to count. Some people from then are still alive today as well.

A very important difference between the deportation of people in the Soviet Union and and the treatment of the native Americans in the United States is that firstly, the United States acknowledges that it has happened and has made all kinds of concessions towards them as a result of this. Meanwhile, the Russian government refuses to acknowledge that the Baltic states (for example) were annexed illegally and against their will.

That's because they have to get over the biggest tragedy of the 20th century, the fall of the Soviet Union, first. It happened in their country and it was only twenty five years ago, some of those people are still alive to this day. Some Americans are still not ready to apologize for slavery today, these things need time. You cannot expect Russia to develop in 10 years what took others around 100 years.
If I'm not mistaken most of the really big atrocities of the USSR happened under Stalin, after him the leaders weren't quite nice guys but they progressively became "nicer" until one of them dissolved the USSR. Meanwhile the West hasn't acknowledged anything of that and always sees Stalin when it looks at Putin. Makes sense that the Russians don't care what the West sees because the West only sees what it wants to see.
