It seems like the “stand with Ukraine” slogan is basically being used to advance leftism as well. It’s horrific what is happening.
I’d never seen that video before. Very disrespectful that the Soviet team set a world record and was seemingly ignored by the American broadcast. The United States was pretty much universally brainwashed and blue pilled to the max back then. I didn’t realize it back then because I was so young.
I have ZERO tolerance for communism HOWEVER imagine how the former Soviet people felt (feel today) after having trusted the US to help them recover or at the very least, get fiscal and political support in Europe. When instead all the west has down since then is demonise the Russians, stereotype them as uneducated criminals and intentionally attempt to smother them economically worldwide...NOT TO MENTION watching NATO move closer to closer to Russia’s borders while promising to never move one Inch into Eastern Europe.
They, far more than any other people, defeated Hitler and the Nazis, in WW2 only to never be truly appreciated for their 26 million deaths in WW2 and actually watch the western world attempt to lie about the Soviet WW2 success, even twist the storylines to make the western world seem like they were the massive reason for Hitler’s demise.
Of course, no country did more to defeat Japan than the USA but little is taught of the Eastern front battles in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine which all but finished the Nazis before Dday. I don’t mean to minimize the success, sacrifice and vital importance of the USA soldiers in WW2.
