I realize this is what people were told during the war, but it's kind of hard to accept that that was the real reason for WWII when Eastern Europe ended up controlled by the Soviet Union, which was, by any reasonable historical standard, a worse totalitarian government than Nazi Germany. Not to mention that by the time the tests referenced in the article took place, China had also been taken over by a worse totalitarian government than Nazi Germany.
