"Soviet territory"????
If Russia had troops inTurkey would you consider it "Soviet territory" too?
Are we going to be emotional or realist? The soil that you don't govern does not belong to you, and at the point when an enemy soldier puts it's feed on your soil, you officially won't be governing that soil.
However in order to be more politically correct I could've said "Soviet Zone" just like Americans did in those times. As if it does change something.
Can I ask you a personal question? Why all the Americans trying so hard to be politically correct? I mean it's just the words that change, the actions are always similar. It seems as if some important portion of American political life is trying to be proven right or wrong by just picking up the right words but doing the same old disgusting things.
