Entry: Endstation Moscow Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/endstation_moscow#12740 Post contents: For once I agree with almost every word Mr Foy has written, except for the final sentence: "If forced to choose one word to describe American diplomacy and foreign policy since the days of Woodrow Wilson, my choice would be “unbalanced”." Nope. There was no way for America to "balance" America's national interests between Hitler and Stalin both conquering all of Europe in 1940, versus supporting Britain's resistance against Hitler in 1940. We've been over this dozens of times in this forum, with no forseeable end; the conquest of ALL of Europe by Hitler and Stalin in 1940 - which is where it stood in 1940 - would have been horribly "unbalanced" for America's national interests, although perhaps not for the interests of blinkered Anglophobes and "American radical nationalists" (which is what Hitler called the "America First" organisation.) But all that said, I think Mr Foy is absolutely correct in everything else he has written here. Sent at: 2008 11 23
