Fact: Russia is now invading Ukraine

Fact: if Stalin hadn't been so brutal and Hitler hadn't been so ruthless with his scorched earth policy when he invaded, Ukraine would have rebelled against the USSR and fought in the Wehrmacht.
this is why they broke away along with several other former USSR republics in 1991 when the USSR collapsed.
forget Patton saying we should have pointed the Wehrmacht east. there was an easier solution. if Truman had more than one scraggly hair on his puny nutsack he would have told Stalin to move back to the USSR's original borders or we nuke Moscow, Leningrad and Stalingrad.
the USSR could not have stopped it. Truman like all Democrats was a wimp. the fact he actually approved using the atomic bomb on Japan .. twice .. is because the Generals told him the true cost to invade Japan. even massive carpet bombing by the Air Force (Army Air Force then) by LeMay would have taken months if not years to force Japan to surrender.
Truman left the job half done and ushered in 40 years of the Cold War. just like a democrat.
