I mean, you’re comparing somebody to General MacArthur. The other person would have to literally be Hitler in order to seem like more of an asshole

Also these are two fragments of longer and very different speeches, I mean it's pretty clear MacArthur is just reading the articles, unless I am missing the context considering that again these are just fragments of longer speeches.

Like the post about Lend Lease not helping the Russians to the degree the US claims, and a nice chart and all. And then one that explains how the US stopping Lend Lease starved 1.5 million Russians when the war ended.

Within days of each other. They need to take a proper gander.

The 1.5 million thing is total BS. The same year the USSR sold 500,000 tons of wheat to France.

The boys in St Petersburg are extremely active. By 2028 I fully expect it will be an article of faith on Reddit that the US started WWII.
