    The biggest lie told about the Cold War is that the Western people actually won.

    We the proletariat of the world all lost. The only winners were the oligarchs.

    I’m still angry my country got involved. I’m angry the Western Allies all hung the Soviets out to dry after the Great Patriotic War. We threw them at the Nazis, and then told them to fuck off and turned on them, while their country was still devastated from the aftereffects of war. I know we never would have, or should have, sided with them against the Americans, but I think we shouldn’t have gotten involved at all, and we should have at least yelled at the Americans for hanging our mutual ally out to dry.
