Soviet Union was a real threat to us. It was not armed to the hilt with nuclear warheads for nothing. You responded:
Apparently, it was not armed at all. You must be the last person on Earth not to know that most of the Cold War experienced by Americans was defined by the government in Washington.
Yes, the communists would have liked to have conquered the world. All they lacked was the ability.
The Cold War was basically a hoax perpetrated by the leaders of the USSR and the USA. When the jig was up, the Soviets paid the piper.
The USA won because it is more capitalist.
To believe otherwise is to grant the premise that faith and force actually work, that evil is efficacious. Overlooking the gratuitous insult and that everything you said is nothing but assertion, let me grant you arguendo that by hoax you actually mean hoax and that I'm a dupe because I fell for it. I have some questions.
1. Were all of the millions of people directly involved in the Cold War in on the hoax, were they dupes like me, or some of each?
2. Even if millions were not in on the hoax, there must've been at least thousands. How did so many conspirators maintain their silence over the past six decades?
3. Because the Cold War was a hoax, doesn't that make each Cold War president from Truman through Bush Sr. a criminal for sending Americans to their death to defend against a threat they knew didn't exist?
4. Who among the Americans and the Soviets set up this hoax and how did they persuade two generations of politicians, bureaucrats, and soldiers following them to maintain it?
5. Qui bono? Who benefited from such an elaborate, deeply choreographed fraud that cost trillions of dollars to sustain over several decades?
Just curious.
Andy
