Joe, you have very limited knowledge of the Russian Civil War or the multicountry interventionist. The US's involvement was specifically limited to two things only. 1) Recovering war material bought on credit by the Tsarist government and never paid for by the Reds. 2) Delivery of humanitarian aid to starving civilians.
You really shouldn't talk about topics which you have no real knowledge about. If you would like to actually learn something about events I recommend reading the autobiography and war time memoir of Pyotr Wrangle who was a General first in the Tsar's army then in the Russian White Army (anti-communists). The book is called "Always with Honor" and you'd learn a lot from it.
But the fact remains, armies of the Great Western powers were in there trying to overthrow the Bolsheviks.
And they were a threat
They were trying to overthrow governments in Germany Austria & Hungary after World War I.
So Putin attempts to destabilize the US are nothing new.
I just specifically said the exact opposite and named the specific missions authorized by congress. Both were very specific and very limited in scope and neither had anything to do with overthrowing communism.
And yet I've seen other indicators that the USA in 1920 really didn't like communism.
and probably for good reason as it was militant and invasive.
They actually were trying to export revolution.
So it posed a threat to the establishment and communist leaders were jailed and hounded by the predecessor of the FBI.
Even tho it appears that the US military had a small incursion into Russia at the time, Great Britain's was much larger.
Interestingly, the USA was one of the few nations NOT to declare war on the Ottoman Empire. But it's clear that Britain and France wanted to carve it up to get the oil.
so the USA was not as malevolant as the other 2 powers which had overt imperial intentions.
I still say World War I was largely Britain's fault along with the resulting turmoil and probably World War II was a bit of their fault too.
I think Oxford Historian Niall Ferguson more or less said the same thing.
