it is ever right to ally with or support brutal
oppressive regimes who oppose our own enemies is: it
depends. It was absolutely right to ally with the
Stalinist USSR against Hitler, don't we all agree?"
Uh... the U.S. didn't ally itself with the USSR to fight against Hitler, but
to expand and consolidate its economic interests. Was this "right?" Not on
those grounds. Tens of thousands of Jews died as a result of U.S. immigration
quotas. Are you suggesting the that US alligned itself with Russia on some
sort of moral basis?
