[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] If you're gonna criticize the concept, at least give a salient reason. A subjugated, then democraticized and reindustrialized Russia could have led to a stronger UN, no large-scale nuclear arms race, no Cold War, likely no Korea or 'Nam, No Communist Cuba, no brush wars in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, and who knows what else. The left-wing hate-the-US-for-the-sheer-self-loathing-joy-of-it mentality hadn't had time to fester yet, and without the fuel from the USSR-backed socialist propaganda machine of the 60's it likely wouldn't have. Conversely, No McCarthyism. Of course, there's that old Russian xenophobia to contend with. That could have been an obstacle. But it's not likely the Allies would have fallen apart if the US had attacked the USSR... most of them trusted them as little as we did. Attack the Brits?? At least the Brits were fairly trustworthy allies, (the Montgomery / Patton ego conflict notwithstanding) while the Soviets siezed half of Europe after the war. [/QB][/QUOTE]
