lets see what the nut jobs make of this, page-85

"And what on earth has the fact that Stalin was an ally of the USA got to do with the fact he committed millions of atrocities against his OWN people? They were allies in overcoming another dictator Hitler, nothing more. You are not really suggesting that the USA should have invaded the USSR to stop the murderous Bolsevik Stalinist induced atrocities, are you? No sane person would have even considered such a proposal, and especially in the immediate aftermath of the slaughter and mayhem of WW11. Anyone making such a proposal would have, rightly, been placed in a straight jacket and sent immediately to an asylum (or whatever it is called nowadays.)"

Of course we should have "invaded". We had the bomb! Instead, American prevarication enabled the UUSR to develop the bomb too, leading to decades of economic mismanagement and millions of people being killed in the East, and a culture of fear in the West.

The US are just playing the Great Game all the time: and usually not very well. Most of the casualties of WW2 can be laid at their feet as they refused to become involved in 1939/40 at the time when Hitler could have been defeated by a decisive blow - all Great Game-isms.
