If the Ron Paul-ites would have prevailed in the 1940’s, we would have had to fight whoever won between Hitler and Stalin on our doorsteps - rather than over there. Not to mention Japan.

You mean, rather than subsidize Stalin with Lend-Lease programs? You see the dots, maybe one day you will connect them.

Try reading The Forsaken: An American Tragedy in Stalin's Russia by Tim Tzouliadis.

United States citizens whose passports had been seized by the Soviet government were sent to Siberian gulags, where they languished and often perished...while their Soviet guards enjoyed American canned goods sent to Stalin under Lend-Lease and other "foreign aid" programs. Never mind that may of these United States citizens were ignored by the U.S. Embassy in Moscow and other U.S. authorities.
