I voted for him. Regarding WWII, I've always taken his point to be that we shouldn't have taken sides between the Russians and the Germans. They were ancient and bitter enemies and we might have been better off to let them fight and destroy eachother to the bitter end. Instead, we made Russia an ally to defeat Hitler and ended up with an enemy for the next fifty years.

I think you are the only poster to this thread that understands what he is writing. I am amazed at the number of people bashing him that don't even address his premise - that the west sold eastern europe out to the Soviet Union and Josef Stalin.

If you cannot debate, i guess calling names is easier.

"I've always taken his point to be that we shouldn't have taken sides between the Russians and the Germans."

Interesting. I think that the US had to keep the Russian's viable enough to wage war with Germany and to keep them bogged down on that massive 2nd front. I think we could agree that Hitler's biggest mistake was going to war with Russia. He already occupied Western Europe. Where I think United States really screwed up was not toning down the aid to Russia giving them the capability to capture Eastern Europe.

Looking at it now Russia gained the most in WWII.
