Uh, weren't most of the 9/11 hijackers Saudis?
Great partners and allies, huh!
Wasn't the ussr an ally at one time?
Indeed, against Hitler and the Axis.
So seth, would you have been anti-ussr before and during the war?
Likely so. The alliance with the USSR during and immediately prior to WWII was an uneasy one at best, and many in the US understood the dangers of Soviet Communism and objected to that alliance, but it was a matter of necessity. And, of course, the USSR betrayed that alliance by making agreements with Hitler about division of Eastern Europe should Hitler prevail.
It wasn't until after WWII that the Soviet Union accelerated its imperialistic practices in an attempt to spread Soviet communism worldwide, at which point it became an enemy.
And would you have been a "pre-mature anti-fascist" as well?
There's only one certainty in politics: everything changes constantly. Our allies today may be our enemies tomorrow, and vice versa. So what? That's the nature of international geopolitics.
