So let me see if I have this right.

The Soviets (Russians) were our allies in World War II, and they made very significant sacrifices in terms of humans killed to fight Nazi Germany. And then after the war, because they stole the secret of atomic weapons (?), they became America's mortal enemy and are still America's mortal enemy 74 years later? Is that right? I know socialism plays into this but that ended in 1991, and they are still America's enemy.

Ya I agree that it is sorta a nutty timeline, but if you read The White Pill by Michael Malice it highlights just how atrocious the form of communism was under Stalin. May be worse than Hitler’s Germany or at least as bad given the length of time that the whole nation was under the most intense forms of psychological torture. Not sure how aware the US was of it all at the time, but those ideals could have played a role in us opposing them in such a harsh manner.

I used to think that. It was atrocious. Read the Gulag Archipeligo too. Horrible shit. But that shit is over, so it can't be that.

Solzhenitsyn is not a source you can trust. But there was enough shit in the Soviet Union even without labor camps. That's why this country no longer exists.
