Once again...using economic means, but not "in it" even then. Probably one of the many reasons Russia had more fatalities.We sent a lot of military equipment up to and including attack aircraft during World War 2 to the USSR both prior to and after our entrance in 41.
But to your point, some in America were totally against that as they held the view that isolationism and appeasement were the better strategy.
Russia has never been a friend to the west. When the revolution hit Russia, surprise, who backed the anti-communist "White Movement"? Those that are now NATO. Those countries had troops in Russia, "guarding munitions" so the Germans wouldn't get them...The Russians knew then it was a power play. When the communists won...suddenly the Euro forces left, not worried about the weapons anymore.
I don't know why there is such hate for the country, spanning centuries. I don't know why people are so anti-communist there, but seem all for it here...not you specifically, but typical dem voters. Change the name, and they don't recognize it I guess.
