You’ll get drafted to repel the next bolshevik invasion when Russia takes the Baltic’s. Or you’ll have to defect to Russia… Either way you’ll have to decide which side you’re on. A great Oligarchy controls our governments and no war is fought without a large cohesive scheme in mind. Russia is guilty, the USA is guilty so don’t become delusional and partisan! Russia starved the Ukraine and we allowed Communist China to blossom. The Communist ideology itself is more dangerous than any country. Unfortunately, the error of Communism has spread throughout the world.
 
International politics and war history with just a touch of conspiracy for flavor.
 
I wish our generals would hide their heads in the sand. Everyone knows that reality bends to our whims.
 
War is war. Regardless, of your opinion he was right that Russia was brutal and would need dealt with. The allies, in my opinion, were sympathetic to communism and knowingly allowed Russia to terrorize and subjugate Eastern Europe. Thankfully, Joseph McCarthy later alerted the public to the communist collusion within our own government! With all the German war criminals we utilized,or allowed to escapeto Argentina, it’s quite possible that the US had Nazi sympathizers within their ranks as well! Nevertheless, Patton definitely shortened the war and prevented countless deaths by disobeying his superiors and relentlessly pursuing the Germans. Without him the 101st Airborne would’ve certainly perished at Bastogne. He was certainly patriotic but not blind as he openly questioned allied decisions. Had he not been assassinated he would have certainly ran for president and beaten the puppet Dwight Eisenhower.
 
What on Earth is going on in this thread? Why are Americans so obsessed with the “threat” of communism? The USSR no longer exists, the Cold War is over, you won. Marxism-Leninism is dead. What does the USSR or General Patton have to do with the article?

I beg to differ. We’re in another Cold War. To understand the current saber rattling I like to go back to WWII. Regardless, we’re paying for the sins of the 20th century. What we’re seeing today will boil over and be a bloody mess. I would prefer an olive branch over the sword; however, I don’t think world governments see it that way.
 
Soviets killed more people than the Nazis ever did. Caused more deaths around the world. Just as godless and twice as dangerous. Used the bombs on the wrong people.

Anyway, what’s done is done. Russia is still a problem. We might end up fighting another proxy-war with them soon. Well, we already are basically fighting a proxy-war against them. Just it might break out into a real, blood-and-guts, nation-on-nation, war.
 
You must be talking of Russia’s policy threatening posture toward its neighbors.
 
First of all, the notion of invading the USSR was the fevered dreams of Patton and a few German generals in the final days of the War in Europe. No one at the top of the American or British governments or militaries ever seriously contemplated attacking the huge number of Soviet troops in Eastern Europe. There are no lack of what-if scenarios, but even if the combined forces of the Western Allies had been sufficient, it would have been a horrifying war on a continent already devastated by six years of total war.

Second of all, the Western Allies had no delusions about the Soviet regime. They knew Uncle Joe was a butcher every bit as brutal as any Nazi. But they had needed Russia to beat Germany. Churchill practically did a dance when Hitler invaded Russia, not because of any love of Communism, but because it meant Germany had now recreated it’s ywo-front problem, and Britain was saved.

And really, the Western Allies relied on the sheer madness of invading Russia. That meant a path to victory.
 
Of course it would have been legitimate to invade the USSR. They had invaded Poland just like Germany. Supposedly the war on Germany was because of their invasion of Poland. The same reason would have justified war on the USSR, but instead we allied with them. It is curious us siding with communism, or not really when you see what is going on.

My grandfather was a conscript and not happy about being sent to Europe. He was under a Patton. One thing he did say was that when he saw what the Russians did to the German people, particularly the women, he wanted to march on Russia. It must have been pretty awful what he saw.

Marxism is very much alive. It won WWII. It took over half of Christendom in Eastern Europe. It won in China and other Oriental countries. There isn’t a clear distinction between the US (‘us’) and communism. The US fought for communism in WWII. Communist ideas are very popular and behind many US policies.

Yep. Instead FDR called the most ruthless, evil man Stalin ‘Uncle Joe’.
