The US knew nothing of the USSR

At the end of WWII.

It's hard to believe now, but we had been allies during the War. And the War was won by the primitive conditions inside that huge country.

Military Intelligence on both sides was totally lacking. They only knew one thing: they had won the war, but they had no idea what to do next.

What happened next was the Cold War, which lasted forty years.

I benefitted from this. My father had benefitted from WWII, and I benefitted from the Cold War.

We became addicted to War. and we are now stuck in Afganistan, fighting another enemy we do not understand in the least.
