Would largely agree with FederalistForever above. The article is just so full of falsehoods that any valid points it makes are difficult to take seriously.

Can agree that the United States has not always been the poster child for good conduct, but am pretty sure that there is no nation/state that has conducted themselves in a manner that would not lead to condemnation from somebody. My suspicion is that the United States would rank on the gentler, kinder end of the scale.

There are too many errors in the supposed facts given for this to be taken seriously.

“The US only entered the war a year after Stalingrad and the Kursk battle when it was absolutely clear that the Nazis would lose the war.” The United States formally entered WWII 8 Dec 1941. The Battle of Stalingrad was Aug 1942 – Feb 1943, the Battle of Kursk was 5 July – 23 Aug 1943. Either the author is full of crap, is too lazy to do basic fact checking or has an agenda and doesn’t want facts to stand in his way…

“It is also worth noting that it took the Soviets only 10 days to defeat the entire Kwantung Army, the most prestigious Army of the Japanese Empire with over one million well-trained and well-equipped soldiers!” At the time of the Soviet attack on Manchuria, there was not a single combat ready division in the Japanese Kwantung Army, with a number of the divisions only reporting 15% readiness. The Kwantung Army has been steadily bled of its best leadership, men, materials and equipment to reinforce/replenish other Japanese Army units that had been engaged against Allied (mostly American) forces in the Pacific. Again – if the author had only read the article he referenced…basic fact checking. Not to take anything away from the Soviet accomplishment in Manchuria – it was a masterful accomplishment of logistics and planning.

As far as US/Allied plots against the USSR during WWII, it might be worthwhile to remember that many in our military saw the USSR and its leadership in a more realistic, immediate manner than our political leaders at the time. Saker seems to conveniently forget about many of the revelations of the Venona Papers and the USSR’s actions against the US and Great Britain at the time (Rosenbergs, Cambridge Five…)

“Most Americans still can’t locate Korea on a map….” “Does anyone in the White House know that North Korea borders on Russia and…”

I could take you more seriously is you could demonstrate yourself where Korea was on a map, and that is doesn’t actually border on Russia.
