[Joe 6-pack]

"...i am not expert, but perhaps enough aid in food and arms etc. should have been sent in mercy to enable the Soviets to keep from being defeated, or delay it and keep Germany tied up trying to, but not so much that they became such an offensive force that they beat the Allies to Berlin, gained to German documents and scientist, etc..."

A tough balance to strike. Every German gun pointed at the Soviets was one less pointed at an American, Brit or Canadian.

That why i said a degree of help was both merciful and advantageous, but enough to gain equality, not an offensive force to Berlin. Short term gain, long term loss, as in Truman's rejection of MacArthur's consul regarding China it seems.

But now we have a country that is being destroyed from within, and if a foreign enemy had inflicted the cost the liberal ethos has in souls, lives and money, we would have declared war on it long away. Stats .
