    also my oversimplified understanding of why the cold war even happened was that stalin beat the shit out of the nazis for the allies but the west didnt want to give him too much credit or put the soviets on equal footing as economic post war partners, so the US basically engineered a long era of continued weapons manufacturing using the domestic and liberated/defeated nations industries to subsidize and expand our military while also protecting western capital interests from having to compete in a multipolar global economy where international prols would have increased bargaining power and autonomy, am i doodoo brained or is this kinda sorta accurate
