Communism has never come to power in a country that was not disrupted by war or corruption, or both.

~ John F. Kennedy

This was preceeded by Joseph Goebbels Iron Curtain speech. Churchill and FDR created this distaster. It was as simple as moving some match sticks.

Churchill’s hard line ( btw I love Churchill) on Germany at the end of the war ( instigated by 2 socialist American Presidents) where we should have joined forces with the german wehrmacht to whip the Soviet army when we had the chance. Of course after Hitler’s death ( or move to Argentina?). The Soviets killed as many or more people than Hitler. So did Mao and his regime.

The iron curtain was part and parcel with how Britain and the US let the Soviets run rampant. We ignored what the Soviets did where the allies declared war on Germany when they did the very same thing

Patton was right. And he died.

Churchill made some powerful speeches.

I paraphrased his famous "Fight On The Beaches" speech to make this meme

Yet the American Left keeps preaching and indoctrinating the theme that the U.S. “invented” the cold war.

My granddad was on the USSS detail for that conference. Found the official program (containing text of Churchill’s speech) when going through his stuff. Kinda cool.
