During the initial stages of the cold war The Cambridge Four gave the same atomic bomb secrets to the Soviets that Churchill had given the US. Like Snowden, they were vilified for their bravery and termed traitors.


     

    I get it. I'm just saying that they weren't the only courageous folks responsible for ending the world war trend that seemed to have started.

    Anyone stupid enough to consider the USSR an ally has no business discussing history. Patton wanted to destroy them for a reason.

     
    There has been only one group of people to whom we all owe a debt of gratitude and that was the Cambridge Four.

     

    HOORAY! THREE CHEERS FOR THE PROGENITORS OF THE COLD WAR! WHAT A GREAT TIME THAT WAS!

     

    a planet which doesn't even belong to us


     

    Seek psychiatric help.

    1) Much as it obviously hurts you to think otherwise, that Russia was an ally is historic fact.

     

    2) An East-West "Cold War" was predicted years earlier by Joseph Goebbels. He even coined the term "Iron Curtain". Do you honestly think it would have been sensible for one nation alone to have had atomic/nuclear weapons? What the Cambridge Four did was ensure MAD. That, alone, has probably accounted for their never having been deployed since. It must have been a great time for American's they could swap their fear of alien invasion by Martians for hysteria toward the Soviets. Hollywood stoked and fed avariciously off American paranoia.

     

    3) Patton was the only person here that needed psychiatric assistance. He was warmonger, racist and anti-Semite.

    Historic as an event, perhaps. Fact, not by the definition of ally.

    And could have been prevented in 1945.

    Yep.

    So a character assassination because you’re uncomfortable with having your love (acceptance) for marxism questioned? Again: the Cold War could have been prevented, 100,000,000 lives could have been saved, and the world could have been a far better place in so many ways had Patton been able to launch one last campaign.
