Entry: The Good War: A Cautionary Tale Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_good_war_a_cautionary_tale#29242 Post contents: "...unlike Stalin, he posed a clear and present threat to the entire continent." Lee Congdon simply does not know his history. I realise the study of the Bolsheviks is deprecated by those with much to hide, but Bolshevik Communism was an international revolutionary movement promoted and supported from Russia whose aim was the overthrow by aggression or internal coup d'etat of all democracies to become satellites of Russia. Hitler was well aware of this and determined to oppose it in Germany and elsewhere. He was not successful because of British and French interference and it was only the belated intervention of the US that prevented the whole of Eurasia including China becoming an Empire controlled from Moscow. (Mao ever was armed and controlled from Moscow). If Lee Congdon believes that Germany had not a perfect right to oppose by all means the fate which was planned for it by Stalin, I think he must imagine that the Bolsheviks were far more benign than their track record would suggest.
