US fantasies
Raoul — (archived)

If the US hadn't been there, the Soviets would have conquered the world????

That's nothing but very bad US propaganda.

Think a little: Germany was defeated in WW2 because it wanted to wage war everywhere, simultaneously.
The Soviets knew that, Stalin knew that.
No way could the Soviets have done the same thing and won, because in order to be victorious, it needed to invade all countries at once but that was impossible. The UK and France in Europe had quite a defense system and the Soviets could not know how one would react if the other was attacked.
How about China on the other side?
How about the A Bomb? Had the US not been there, there'd be no A bomb and therefore, the Soviet invasion of Hungary would have met a lot more resistance from European countries.

What I find particularly full of irony is that the greatest threats came from the nazi regime and its allies (Japan) and from the islamic integrists (Al Qaeda) but american conservatives continue to first fear communists even years after their demise.
