Basta said:The Russians haven't retreated from a single Eastern European country they conquered, so I seriously doubt they would have pulled out of America. Honestly, I find the communist scenario much more plausible.
I was actually thinking about how things were unfolding before 1944. Maybe Winston would have made different moves... if he even could have. Given that Winston failed to "save" Canada, I highly doubt he could have saved America. That’s just my thesis, for what it's worth.
Basta said:And regarding those "free" elections—did I ever say I meant actual free elections? The only difference is that we "freely" chose our own communists, whereas this way, they would have just chosen the Russians.
I need to 😬
Basta said:If there hadn't been Americans in the partisans, I truly doubt those partisans would have evolved beyond mere guerrillas. Of course, they would have gained strength rapidly once Soviet troops arrived (just like everywhere else in Eastern Europe).
My point 👍
