It’s also incredibly interesting, that it’s the Soviets who get the reputation as “rapists,” for coming in to occupy Germany- a nation which had wrought such horrors and blatantly sought to exterminate their peoples. Not the Americans, in their sordid history as the “most warlike nation in the world” as their own former POTUS Jimmy Carter describes it, when they have militarily occupied (and for infinitely worse, wholly unjustifiable reasons) countless nations before and since. Not the British, French, Dutch, Belgians, and other nations who after WW2, went on to rape their way through the world in literally dozens of various colonial conflicts, from Indonesia to Vietnam, to Kenya and Algeria, and so on… not the settler-colonial states like Canada and Australia which continued on with blatant policies of indigenous child theft (with plenty of documented rape) and whose policies effectively continue when one looks at the statistics of systemic discrimination and abuse to this day.
