henkster: "There was no political will on the part of the Allies to fight the USSR.
And the Soviets were exhausted from the war.
Nobody would win because this was a fight that would never have happened.
Henkster’s Law."

Correct, and must say, this is total Nazi wet-dream propaganda.
It's what Goebbels, Himmler, Goering & company wished would happen at the end of WWII.
It's what people like Himmler tried to negotiate at the end -- "let's Allies and Ruskies fight another war, so German Nazism can be preserved!"

The fact is that in 1945 no American or British soldier wanted to fight yet another war, and no US politician was willing to order them into one.
Rooskies were totally exhausted, and besides, Soviet control of Eastern Europe had already been agreed to by Roosevelt and Churchill.
Truman was not going to reverse that.

And suggesting Stalin would have broken his agreements in the face of US nuclear power is to imply that Stalin was just as insane as Hitler -- which he certainly was not.

Years ago I stood in the Fulda Gap, training for a Soviet tank invasion which, thankfully, never came.
My opinion of the old Soviets is that while, bullies and aggressive, they were a far cry from today's lunatic jihadis.

So the US would be vastly better off teaming up with Ruskies again, against jihadis, than in fantasizing Nazi wet-dream end-of-war propaganda about fighting a Hot War III against Stalin!

Indeed, let's take this whole thought-process a little further:

Any student of history knows that today's Jihadis are the children of Hitler's Nazis married to radical Islam.
They are modern-day Nazis, and this propaganda work is a product of Nazi fantasies, intended to keep Russian & western allies from uniting against them.

Listen carefully: when our new President says, "wouldn't it be nice?" if we could team up with Russians, he's talking about WWII all over again -- that's how we defeated Nazism back then, and it's how we can defeat the sons-of-Nazism (jihadis) today.

So don't be eager, or quick, to fantasize major war against Russians.
We may well need those people, yet again, to help us with a much more insane enemy.

Fixed it. ;-)
