Thank you kindly for the "bite sized chunks"...I will respond in kind.
I have heard that War Is Hell but am also aware that political accounts of war are often strewn with misinformation.
Once again; I will remind you that the "Cold War" was about total global annihilation...TOTAL!
And the US could not risk another Communist Cuba in the Western Hemisphere; or anywhere for that matter.
You must admit, these global threats dwarf the distasteful tactics of Reagan and the CIA during the same time period.
I can name several undesirable/totalitarian "far-left" regimes; in both history and modern day.
But I don't recall a single report of a "far-right" regime in the history of the world.
Uh ohhhh, you apparently subscribe to the "Hitler was a liberal" theme, I'm guessing.
If that is the case, I am becoming convinced that there is no earthly possibility of having a rational debate, there's just too much disinformation sewn into your mind.
PS: You're by far not the first person I've encountered who fled from a Communist regime.
I spent six years working camera and edit for American-Russian Television in West Hollywood in the pre-satellite era, when UHF TV was the defacto means of distributing immigrant oriented television programming to urban immigrant communities.
Yep, you heard right, I spent six years hanging out with a bunch of ex-Soviets who were glad to be in America.
They're doing mighty well these days, by the way, but none of them have drifted into John Birch Society territory.
That's not to say that they are far-Left liberals, they just managed to gain enough perspective.
Now, tell me what you think Hitler's Third Reich really was if it wasn't far-Right fascist.
I am not interested in proving that it was Far Right to you because that argument occupies some 2,373,490,875,983,938,598,755,734 posts in this forum and others, so it's been done to death, and I've concluded that most people who subscribe to "Hitler was a liberal" are as far gone as Flat Earthers and chemtrailers.
