USA in WW2, basically this meme:
They got involved only after it was very clear the soviets were gonna steamroll over Berlin and turn Europe red. The turning point of the war was Stalingrad, a full two years before the allies landed in Normandy.
Love that poll of France in there, where the support totally flipped. Capitalist propaganda is one helluva drug.
Yeah, that’s basically my reading as well. After it become obvious that USSR was going to win, US immediately jumped in to carve up Europe and protect its interests. I think the most effective aspect of US propaganda is that it’s subtle enough that most people don’t even notice there is a bias. And when they hear something that’s outside the accepted Overton window the immediate reaction is to dismiss it.
Made it into a meme:
Nuh uh, comrade. R/historymemes told me soviets were starving and brainwashed and also worse than nazis. makes ya think :thinking face:
