Britain had quite a bit more than light bombing.

Stalin was no better than that german fellow. He was a land grabber and probably killed more of his own people, than anyone else ever alive.

The soviet army committed so many rapes and other atrocities they should be damned also.

We helped the soviets, because they were the enemy of our enemy. It was good strategy at the time.

I didn't mean to belittle the death and destruction that British civilians faced but it was considerably less than many other countries in WW2.  Stalin is just an individual too often people think one individual is an entire country.  Did some Soviet soldiers commit rape or war crimes sure but the Germans did one hundred times more.  This whole Soviet troops are a bunch of rapists thing, and ridiculous claim that Stalin was as bad as Hitler always seemed like a smokescreen for Nazi sympathetic feelings.  I'm not saying you have those feelings but I bet the guy who invented those memes did.  One thing thats not emphasized much in American or probably British history books as well is just how much Hitler and the Nazis hated Communism and everything they chose to label as communism, this is what really led to their hatred of Jews, a lot of Communists including Karl Marx himself were of Jewish descent.  This is uncomfortable because America and Britain have such strong Anti Communist propaganda beaten into us.
