You should listen to airchecks of the WMCA "Good Guys" from the 1960's.

WMCA was a New York City music station. They played top 40 music.

Take this video with a grain of salt...
I had a look at another one from the same guy and it seemed loosey-goosey with the information without any source references...
A lot of comments have a problem with this guy...<shrug>

i dont think leaders are typically viewed as intelligent in an original way in human history . most of them are viewed as with serious character flaws that resonate with millions with similar character flaws. thats human history i believe..

the past thirty years of america was a mistake that sent both the world and america itself into the awful state of the world we are in , and thats what human beings in the future will remember us for forever forever forever .. voters are more intuitive than thought in fictions, and cynicism recompensates the dumbness obviously.. what during the past thirty years traumatized millennials and zoomers psyche it reflects in how they vote .. they hadnt evaluated that decades ago.. and for now i dont see anything changing .. they are myopically ,nostagically and cluelessly onto something more awful so let them keep bringing it on ..? hahaha..

Although it's not my country and I probably shouldn't criticize from that perspective, the episode with the Vlasov men turned my stomach a bit - ie. turning over Russian rebels, which really should have been refugees, to Stalin. Think of a bunch of men, wedged against certain doom, jumping off a bridge en mass because they'd rather be dead than go back to Russia and you get the drift.

Much of the time it's choosing 'least bad', the rule used to be 'pick the side in favor of liberal democracy' but I think the military industrial complex maxed that out in he last 50 years or so and after he cold war the justifiable excuses for that got thinner.

I should add - Churchill did that after offering them asylum if they laid down their weapons.
