How about "lend lease" convoys to Murmansk during the war. They fistly armed
Hitler and after Stalin to destroy Europe... USA is the worst enemy of

Hamburg, Germany, a favorite stopover port of US merchant mariners taking
ships loaded with Lend-Lease war material for the USSR to Murmansk.

While there, they could warm up, buy extra cold weather gear, and have a
few brauts and beer provided by friendly merchants of the city, before
continuing northward on their war supply missions.

After the war, the US refused to take "no" for an answer from Stalin, in
regards to Marshall Plan reconstruction aid, and instead *forced* military
supplies into Russian ports against the will of the government, with the
hope that a Cold War would rage for the next century, making Europe dependent
on US largess.

The plan almost worked! If only the Cold War could have lasted a few more
decades. We could have been the masters of Europe!
