Crazy that when USSR was created, all Western Nations opposed it, spent troops there after their Civil War including the United States in 1918.

Anyway, Collapse by Vladislav lav M. Zubok and Adam Curtis's Traumazone are great to check out for anyone who wants to avoid the redscare narrative that's somehow still prevalent and just want to read/watch history unfold.

The effort put forth seemed pretty minor which is expected since Spanish flu was ravaging the planet and this all happened during/right after world war 1. No one wanted to actually war with communist right after fighting Germany for 4 years.

Replace Spanish Flu with Covid...replace war with Germany with Russia in Ukraine...

History repeating?
