That’s accurate. The French revolution is where it started... it’s all been downhill since.
“That’s accurate. The French revolution is where it started... it’s all been downhill since.”
I would agree with you. The author asks why the west didn’t end communism in Russia or try to hold Constantinople. Well, even America had a dictator in Woodrow Wilson. Communism was already eating into western culture and it would have been politically impossible given the carnage for nations to continue a war of choice in Russia or Turkey or anywhere else. For one thing, how would they finance it? Anyone who had tried would have been stampeded from office. The politicians who came after were American fascists. FDR for example was lauded by Hitler and Mussolini.
No, the collapse started with communism, which started at the French Revolution.
