“That’s not called saving it.”

So keeping a country from going communist is not saving it? And keeping a country from being occupied by the Nazis is not saving it?

“One may say that Éamon de Valera “saved” Ireland in much the same manner.”

Well, if Ireland were on the continent, yes. If the U.K. were occupied by the Nazis, yes. Otherwise, no, not really.

That’s the biggest canard of all. What communists were on Spain’s border threatening a revolution? Never mind the false dilemma of having to choose between international socialism and national socialism.

Have a nice day. It was the Allies who saved Spain, not Franco.
