We won because the communist traitors didn’t imagine that the threat of nuclear bombs would prevent Soviets from overrunning western Europe. We won because the communist traitors didn’t imagine that we would withdraw, and let the local people govern themselves. As a great American said, the only land we took was enough to provide for the graves of the men lost. The greedy, foolish, fearful communists never imagined such generosity, such courage, or such wisdom.
And so we won.
But the red bastards took all the machinery from Eastern Europe as well as those who could operate the machinery thereby plucking all of Eastern Europe as clean as a roast chicken.
Russia then was allowed by the socialist government of the USA to take all the georgraphy that represents Eastern Europe. We have been stuck with the policeman's bill for maintaining bases there in case the reds try it again.
We lost. They won. Had we drove them so far into Russia they'd never find their way out they would have had to keep their blood-stained hands off Europe. Consequently, Korea would have never invaded S.Korea. Russia would have had to become placid, No Vietnam war as they would fear us. No muslim cock up world wide. No piracy. In short, had we decisively won the war other nations would leave us alone as well as each other.
It all stems from Wilson's folly popularly know as the Great War.
