The United States and Great Britain supported Stalin’s Soviet Union during World War II. Not only did we coordinate military strategy with Stalin, we shipped the USSR thousands of tons of military supplies including almost half a million trucks and fighter planes as well.

If I need to point it out, Stalin murdered between 30 and 60 million of his own countrymen, depending on which book you read. And he did most of this before WWII.

So was it then illegitimate for us to oppose the Soviet Union during the Cold War?

All of you libs answer that one for me.

The bottom line is that it was right for us to support the Soviet Union against the Nazis and it was right for us to support Iraq over Iran. During WWII Nazi Germany was the greater threat and during the early 80s Iran was the greater threat.

Yes I know that Iraq started the war with Iran. Let’s just keep in mind that the Soviet Union invaded Poland in Sept 1939 along with Germany. And then there’s the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact The Soviets were hardly complete victims during the war.

Yet we helped the Soviets defeat the Nazis. Again, did this somehow make it wrong for us to oppose the Soviets later?
