I don't buy into or trade for translucent propaganda even if it is packaged in red, white and blue.

So then you are arguing that the propaganda during WWII and the Cold War, never was reconciled with the history that we learned from those events? They were exercises in futility, and served no purpose? Tell me who, besides you, cries for the loss of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union?

Our activities from 1914-1918 laid the framework for the establishment of communism in Russia and the rise of Nazism in Germany. That does not remove culpability from other parties but our activities were the deciding factor in tipping the balance in Europe causing regimes to fall, countries to crumble and territorial disputes and setting up cause for a second conflict. I rue the day our leaders took that wrong turn. The impact was devastating on a colossal scale and haunts us to this day. Likewise wrong headed policy got us into the second war, again a situation where we did not have to be and wrong headed policy in that war ensured the cold war between us and the Soviets.

Speaking of the cold war, at the end of W.W.II we had bases all over the globe. There was a move afoot to reduce our overseas positions. The cold war ensured a permanent global presence. Pretty convenient for the globalist corporations and the liberals who wanted a New Deal for the world i.e. wealth transfer from US tax payers to other nations in the form of foreign aid and fighting communism. Supplying war is very profitable and continuous war guarantees those government contracts. After serving the establishment all his life Eisenhower upon retirement warned us against the military industrial complex. Do you suppose he was an America hating leftist pacifist?

>who, besides you, cries for the loss of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union?

That's a crummy remark that has no bases in anything I've said. Surely you can do better than that.
