Quote:BTW: Hungary was not annexed.Sorry, just short of annexed then I guess. From a US perspective all the USSR & satellite nations were treated as one entity under the dictatorial control of the Kremlin. Kadar was a Soviet tool. Even Cuba, and North Korea relations with the US were conducted with Moscow. I think it is still a challenge for the US to move beyond the "Cold War" mentality in its foriegn policy regarding former Soviet allied nations.
