What exactly was the rationale for building walls to keep the people in? Why not just let everyone defect who wanted to, good riddance?
Same with figure skaters. You want to go, please go. Now. Don't let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya. :yes:
Are you really making that question or just kidding? Are you comparing the Berlin Wall and the eastern block with this? Do I really have to explain a history well known?!
Berlin's fate, and the whole Eastern Europe's fate, was decided even before the Soviets went there, with the blessing of GB and USA, thank you.
It was not about investments, it was about geopolitics, ideology and power balance.
Where exactly the Iron Curtain analogy comes when speaking about a Fed like USA, Italy or any other Fed who doesn't let their skaters go?
I really can't believe we're even going there.
