#1 The man has the receipts. Partial note - while Soviet industry was shipping east during 1941, the critical steel for tanks and armored vehicles was coming from the US. Much more in the tome.

#2 We should have let the Russians get crushed.
Allying with communists was a HUGE mistake.
We created a monster, barely won the Cold War and today are dealing with a threat to Ukraine and all Europe from Poland to Paris.
We could have disposed of them long ago.
Don't forget Critical Theory and Cultural Marxism came from Russia.
And those books that the Germans burned? Turns out they were full of transgenderism and other horrid curses.

#4 A few thoughts:

"Critical Theory and Cultural Marxism"

Via Bolshevik Soviet Jews.
Russia /= Soviets
Soviets were defeated, the CCCP crumbled, the Wall fell, Warsaw broke up - the Cold War was Won. The only people unclear of this are Millennials who have listened to their Boomer Grand Pa's tell too many stories. Papa's who prepared their whole life for a war with Soviets that never materialized and they are not letting it go their anthem that the Soviets Must Be Defeated.

In my timeline and life, I've met more American Marxists than Russian Commies - personally havent really seen a soviet since the Berlin Wall fell in 1989.

Orthodox Christians & Roman Catholics should be natural allies. WWJD? And in our battle against the Woke Eco Globalists, Russia again would make a natural ally.
