RE: Just like Cuba :).

Hi
Hey, i call BS, I remember the Cuban missile crisis clearly AND what started it, our country putting missiles within visible unaided eyesight in Turkey and the Russians looking across the water saying "we must do something to respond. Cuba is as close as they could get in response.
Our one sided lapdog media, like now too, pitched this as "naked Russian aggression", in reality is was actually response in kind to us (our government) putting missiles so close (closer than Cuba) to them.

In The cold war supportive media then was mostly about lies of omission not so much outright lies like now (like Joey is fine in the head, the K is a mental giant or The orange devil is Hitler and will end civilization, democracy, peace on earth etc etc).

Thankfully growing up with a shortwave revealed how the one sided media vi steers opinions of those who believe them hook line a sinker.

I don't see any equivalence however, Cuba never had death to America, death to Israel cult as a primary platform and never did anything remotely like Iran has done funding and supplying so many different terrorist groups.

Perhaps your right too, we should not have helped Europe, Germany was the most scientifically and socially advanced country in the world, their guy ended the Russian royal family / rule and they worked out "the final solution" for those in Germany who they thought were problems.

But I would bet the same 20/20 hindsight complaints about not doing anything would have actually been louder than now

Which was the greater evil then?

No one Can change the reality of the past and one doesn't have to like it but the only actual possibility going forward is impacting the future.

Given the past, those so strongly dedicated to the death of any group / country / race /religion AND ACT ON THAT killing innocents, don't deserve to be part of modern western civilization.

YMMV just an opinion.
