re: What was the Greatest Necessary Evil?

I feel like the greatest necessary evil in history is when the United States and the Allies had to ally with the Soviets in World War II. Stalin was a mass murderer and a lot of people would agree was a more brutal dictator than even Hitler himself. However, the necessary evil allowed the Soviet Army to eliminate the Nazi threat in Europe, so it had to be done.

Nah, in retrospect, we should’ve told Europe to go frick itself in both world wars.

Frankly, we shouldn’t have helped the Soviets one fricking bit. But FDR loved Uncle Joe and communism.
