'More important than the lack of political will for such an invasion was the lack of a political REASON to do so."
Reasons?
The Russians invaded our ally Poland,
In the two genocide famines of 1921 and 1932, they killed more than all soldiers killed in WWI.
They took 40000 Ally POW hostage.
They were exporting terrorism throughout the globe and destroying western civilization - something which took 2000 years to develop.
Poland was NOT our ally when Hitler and Stalin divided it. So that reason has no validity.
We certainly would not invade because of PAST famines or atrocities.
Our people wouldn't even support joining WWII until we were ATTACKED.
There were no 40,000 American POWs held by the Soviets.
Rather than exporting terrorism the Soviets were fighting the common enemy.
This is getting stupider and stupider and only testifies to your cluelessness.
What next "Because Stalin wasn't a nice guy."
Yes, and I remember reading in the newspapers after the Soviet Union imploded, that we (actualy Pres Eisenhaur) abandoned U.S. Korean war POWS that the Chineese gave to the Russians. Why?, (I'm guessing here) because of fear of starting a nuclear war.
