Welllll...considering US policy (i.e. WWI) laid the groundwork for the Communists to come to power, I suppose you could say we were fixing yet another foreign policy mistake eh?
I would suggest two books for you to start with Wilson's War: How Woodrow Wilson's Great Blunder Led to Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, and World War II and FDR's Folly: How Roosevelt and His New Deal Prolonged the Great Depression by Jim Powell. Sort of basic reading but we have to start with the basics when it comes to discussing cause and effect with 'conservatives' who don't realize there was a world before 1941....
We must win this war no matter how long it takes, and no matter how much sacrifice we need to make, or else we will face consequences that are worst than any nightmare we cannot imagine
Same thing said by a Crusader at one time I would suppose. And it was bunk then as well. Oh, sorry, you see the Crusades happened at a point in time long before 1941....
Great books you recommended. I will add The Illusion of Victory by Thomas Fleming (the historian/novelist, not the editor of the enjoyable Chronicles magazine)
Your defeatism and ignorance of the enemy we are facing is disgusting and horrifying.
