Going back to the post below, let's start with a really troubling prior inquiry:
Did the Cold War really have to be fought, at the time, at all?
If so, why? If not, why not?
Was WWII, after all, even a defensive war, really, as Kennan certainly later claimed?
What are some of the things we know, more or less, and in fact Kennan, of all people, also knew?
One of the things we know, looking back, is that Stalin had carried out a horrific purge, of most of the top management of the Soviet regime, in the late 30s, several years before the war even began.
