That same grandfather fought on the red side of our civil war. You're writing about things you know fuck all about. Russia attacked us, we struck them back worse. Twice. Then we fought the Germans right after that for good measure, and kicked those out too.

Westerner or not at least get your fuckin facts straight before spouting off.

?? Yes, the US also repurposed Nazis after they got their ass kicked despite Finland's effort. The point?

My point is nobody was exactly innocent there, and while we were allies of convenience with Germany for a time we also got help from none other than Great Britain, Sweden and even the US in the same timeframe. We were never part of the third Reich in any capacity, and you damn well know it.

Also, we fought a defensive war, not an offensive one.
