Watch Out for the Black Helicopters!!

Stalin was evil. He was the greatest mass murderer of the twentieth century. Stalin was just as horrific of a dictator as Hitler. That said, we had to ally with him. That was the only possible way we would have won WWII. That is the only way that Naziism would have been defeated. If Hitler was not stopped, there is no telling how many people he would have killed. There was no doubt that Hitler had his heart set on world domination, and would have eventually brought war to the United States if the United States did not bring war to him. Russia did not pose the great risk to the U.S. and the entire world that Nazi Germany did, and therefore, we had no reason to declare war on Stalin right after Hitler had declared war on us! I do not have one regret with allying with Stalin to stop Hitler, even in retrospect 60 years later. I just wish that we would have taken George S. Patton's advice and marched our army into Moscow as soon as the Nazis were defeated.

There is no great conspiracy to demonize Hitler and make Stalin look like an angel. Their actions speak for themselves. What possible motivation would U.S. propoganda have to make Stalin look good for the last half-century? We did have a little thing called the Cold War, I don't think that Stalin's stock was high back then. Stop looking for those black helicopters andrew. It will just make you go more insane than you already are.
