American Hypocrisy

They may have been Allies, but the USSR and the US were still not exactly on friendly terms during WW2. For example, Stalin wouldn't let US bombers use soviet airfields.

So you're saying that America's entire justification for engaging in delusional anti-communist rhetoric boils down to pettiness over airfields?

>So why did the US deliberately help the USSR win on the Eastern Front
A Soviet dominated Europe seemed preferable to a Nazi dominated Europe.
>only to suddenly brand it as the most evil country that ever existed
Propaganda. Nobody wants to fight the "good side" so you just brand the enemy as the worst people on Earth.
>Why did the United States suddenly become so hostile and belligerent towards the Soviet Union after being allies with them in WW2?
Stalin was an imperialist who gladly increased the power of the Soviet Union and her allies at the expense of the third world nations as well as the US her allies. Just look at Berlin, Korea and China.

FDR was a commie sympathizer who was incredibly naive about "uncle joe". His foolishness caused in a short span of time the fall of eastern europe and china to communism. No shit his successors were anti-communist.

I hate that FDR didn't live long enough to see how wrong he was about Stalin. Then again, he might have been president for the rest of his life if he'd survived.

You wrap any political position up in appeals to ones identity or ideology you can make em believe anything

>caused
repeating this meme doesn't make it true. Stalin had already occupied eastern europe and unless the Americans wanted to fight them for it there was no way in hell stalin was going to relinquish eastern europe deal or no deal. China is also too complex to reduce to "roosevelt did it!"

Because Americans didn't want to pay for the Marshall Plan. However all the smart people in government knew that the Marshall Plan was great for rebuilding Europe and making them indebted to America so they began a PR campaign to scare Americans into thinking the Soviets were demons hellbent on destroying the west and only by giving tons of money to Europe could they be stopped. That fright of communism remained.

Also it helped that the Soviets were demons hellbent on destroying the west.

Unlike polio-riddled FDR, Eisenhower served in the war and saw the ravages and savagery of collectivism firsthand.

Patton wanted to counterstrike them before hostilities ended, and there were plans drawn up to attack the Soviets if it was seen that they weren't going to stop past the agreed meeting points.

No, retard. He'said saying that they never liked each other at all but the Naxos were a mutual and more significant threat. Get your head out your ass.
