any idiot knew what the Soviet Union was about after experiencing it first hand.
So fu*cking what. Even Soviets didn't like other Soviets but that does not mean you want to fight them and die since there was zero chance AK could possibly prevent them from taking over and imposing the government to their liking. Zero. It goes under "Tough Sh*it" as a movie title.
With the US blessing, btw...Hence, "the sellout".
