“The correct way this all should have played out was for the West to not support Russia during World War Two”
We were shipping military supplies to the USSR before we entered the war. Germany had committed 150 divisions, over 3,000,000 men, to their Russian invasion by the summer of 1941. If Germany had defeated Russia many of those divisions would have been free to fight on the western front.
And we paid for that calculus by letting the Russians enslave Eastern Europe for fifty years, constant nuclear threats, squandering trillions on Cold War defense, and now we’re paying for it all over because Putin wants to Make Russia Soviet Again.
