NATO … which allied itself with among others Poland’s notorious Home Guard, Nazi Collaborators including Bandera, every other wing of the OAN/UPA, the World Anti-Communist League, pro-Nazi elements from South Africa to Israel (!) to Chile to Argentina to South Vietnam to the Vatican … which included countries led by Nazi collaborators such as Greece, Italy, Spain, and West Germany … is only the most dangerous of the unhinged military hordes that have menaced the Eurasian steppe, whose decades of reckless nuclear brinksmanship, permanent war economy spending at the expense of every person made a pauper to fuel it, and service to the most powerful empire in world history (the mid-20th century American empire) created the situation whereby the USSR could get away with the invasions of Hungary and Czechoslovakia to suppress efforts to build socialist democracy thereby preventing the burgeoning political revolution from restoring socialist democracy to the USSR. The ruling proletariat of Eastern Europe feared that if they didn’t go along with the USSR’s demands to preserve the alliance and protect the Soviet Union, that NATO would come in and restore capitalism. Thereby NATO’s Cold War, as intended, put an end to the process eventually known as de-Stalinization (although it began under Stalin as a consequence of the left gaining political initiative with the defeat of the major fascist regimes), leaving the Stalinist regimes ruling the Warsaw Pact Nations (and Albania, N. Korea, and China) in a position to continue sabotaging the world revolution.
