Even then, the big R. didn't open hostilities against the the Euro-fascists until Hitler (who still fancied his chances in Russia at that stage - and who'd clearly forgotten what had happened when last the Yanks came across the water some 24 years earlier) rather daringly declared war on the US. ...< right. But the US could have entered the war earlier. (BTW, it amazes me that Hitler actually lived up to his agreeement with Japan. He could have gotten propaganda points by waiting for the US to declare war.) >Can anybody assure me that no tactical or strategic commie-bloc nuclear weaponry persists on Yugoslav soil? If not, can anyone assure me it wouldn't be under Belgrade's control? Not a rhetorical question - I just haven't a clue. < Tito's Yugoslavia wasn't part of the commie bloc. It was "non-Aligned." If he had stashed away some nukes that he had developed w/o anyone's help, we'd know about it by now.
