Thanks John for your interesting replays of history. You are correct - modern education is skewed such as kids don't get to study modern history (post 1787) and therefore are blind to the political decisions that constantly lead us to war. I've not researched this but I have often wondered why Russia was a valued WW!! ally then post 1945 became a mortal enemy to the West. What were the incidents that caused this change? Who (in the West) were the main players that promoted Russia as the existential threat to USA and Europe? How did it come about that whereas USA was quick to "rebuild" Japan and Germany post war their ally Russia, who contributed most to the defeat of Hitler, were suddenly treated with the same disdain as the allies had treated the Nazis?
