Maybe it would have been better if the Soviets/Russians still had forces in Germany even in a post reunified Germany. We have to remember why there were Soviet forces in Germany! Would imagine the west were keen for them to be there in the early to mid 1940s! For me the pre 1990 world was fine, much more simple with USA and NATO vs USSR and Warsaw Pact, there was more balance and seemingly more sensible leaders in the west! Since then the west has kind of been out of control with its actions. Maybe the USSR and Warsaw Pact could have countered some of that arrogance.
