Maybe you're not russian but you've definitely been exposed to soviet indoctrination.

This is straight out of a communist propaganda handbook!

 Czechoslovakia
 was liberated by the Red Army, and at least until 1974 could
 have been claimed by the USSR under the international Right
 of Conquest law.  All states have the right to pursue their
 security concerns in whatever way they think will assure
 security without making major concessions. That isn't
 'evil', but a "security Strategy".

 Didn't
 read Madden's book, but I note that the Roman Republic
 was already a hated state on the peninsula well before it
 became perhaps the most hated state in history as an Empire.
 One of the principal milestones on the road to Empire were
 the Marian Reforms and the professionalisation of the Roman
 Army, and the USA is well past that point. However, I just
 don't see an American Caesar :-)
