Revisiting World War II Historical Narratives

Turns out, I think the story we got about World War II is all wrong.

I think that's right.

And then I read about FDR, and FDR's right-hand man was a Soviet spy.

Certainly was. Right?

And therefore, we should have been...

One can make the argument we should have sided with Hitler and fought Stalin.

Patton said that, but Stalin was awful by any metric, and we weren't his ally.

The story is that there were a few missing American soldiers

at the end of World War II in Russian territory. 15,000 to 20,000 were missing, and we left them there.

And then you read about Pearl Harbor.

We all sort of know the Pearl Harbor story is not what we're told,

but I dug into that, and you find out that we knew to the morning that Pearl Harbor was going to get attacked.

Stalin was going to be attacked. He wanted us to take the Japanese off his flank,

and FDR's right-hand man was okay with that because he was a Soviet spy. Right?

Then I read about FDR and the Great Depression.

Find out that every single penny he spent trying to help the forgotten...

Amity Shlaes, the forgotten man, was spent to buy votes every last penny.

He was a sociopath.

And the only thing he could do was lie. He was a compulsive liar.

His inner circle had to constantly cover for his lying.
