I think I found the answer. Globalist, occupied US government can't stand a bunch of independent white folks.

I'm not so sure if even white easterners are the same as westerners though.

The only thing I have against Russia is all the communist, operatives and subversives that poured in to the US from there beginning during the early 20th century.

It was more the US government against the USSR government. See The secret war, 1939-1945 - Max Hastings, c2016, Harper Collins. Once the Nazis invaded the USSR, UK & the USA allied with USSR. UK & US did not actively pursue counterintelligence efforts against the USSR in UK & USA territory, even though UK was well aware that they had an intel problem from the USSR.


The US was fairly oblivious to the threat, as we were focused on defeating the Nazis & then Japan. The Soviets, however, played a much longer game. They had penetrated UK & US military & scientific & government sources in the 1920s & 1930s, & ramped up their efforts throughout the war. The US got better @ counterintel as the war went on, & we became more aware of Soviet efforts up through the 1950s, when anti-Soviet sentiment in the US peaked.

So, the 84,000 T-34 tanks the Russians built didn't matter?

German field marshals said that the T-34 was superior to anything the Germans had at the time. (and certainly better than any US tank of the period)

Ask a German soldier what he feared most and he would say it was the Katyusha rocket which were all mounted on Studebakers.

Nonsense.

The Germans certainly feared the Katyusha rocket...anybody would. Katyusha rocket launchers were mounted on many platforms, including on Soviet ZIS-6 & ZIS-5 trucks, ordinary trucks, artillery tractors, tanks, and armored trains, as well as on naval vessels.

As Lend Lease took hold, they were mounted on a variety of American and British trucks....including Studebakers (and Chevy) trucks.
