FTD: If the soviets TRIED to invade, the soviets would have been a bad memory a lot sooner. I don't remember the soviet military being a particularly effective force in WWII nor in any engagement thereafter. The soviets made progress by folding sissified US politicians (Truman and Ike particularly) like cheap suits or like paleoPaulies or like paleosurrendermonkeys generally.

Patton was right at the end of WWII. It should have continued by turning on the soviets when we had the blooded military available in Europe and MacArthur available with his forces in Asia to finish them off. Incidentally, the cold war and its expenditures would then not have been necessary. And we would probably had an easier time eliminating soviet stooge Mossagh Dagh (or however it is spelled) from controlling Iran since there would have been no soviets to prop him up.

The fact is the Soviet conventional military would have overwhelmed ours and that is why we had plans to use tactual nukes.

As for Iran, no one has said that there may have been immediate needs to stop Soviet expansion, but those decisions did have long range consequences (blow back).

There is no such need today, except to create a new world order based on Wilsonian principles.

Your posts just get more ridiculous, and you are just wasting my time with your excessive, useless, verbage
