      With responses as stupid as this to my previous post I guess we can see why you are stupid enough to think the USA joined in WWII to fight communists despite siding with the USSR.

          Your very first post suggested the USA joined WWII to fight communists and even mentioned the trade US businesses did with Germany.

          That’s where I got this. Stop being disingenuous as multiple people called you out for it.

            IBM and Ford Motor Co. definitely did work with the Nazis, along with other I cant remember off the top of my head.

            The US and Russia became de facto enemies AFTER WWII. That was the Cold War which led to the Cuba missile crisis. The US was consumed with the anti-Soviet Red Scare propaganda in the 1950s, primarily after finding out in WWII that Russia was a formidable foe who was winning the science and technological races. And they had nukes.

            I have never said the US was fighting Communism in WWII. The CIA spook squad didnt even exist then to invent the scare.

              That is entirely different from suggesting the USA joined WWII to fight communists when we sided with the USSR. You stated this literally.

                I’m gonna have to go back and find this post because that is completely stupid. Was there some obvious sarcasm that you couldnt grasp?
