“The winds of change were never warm.”
This is the story behind the story—the Cold War’s beginning told without the sugarcoating. From Stalin’s stolen chair to Truman’s frozen silence, this isn’t your textbook history. It’s a poetic, brutal unpacking of American myth and manufactured consent.

That’s super helpful—thank you! I just added the timestamp link so it goes straight to the moment. And good call on backing it up, I’ll archive the footage on web.archive and ghostarchive just in case. Appreciate you looking out for long-term integrity. This post means a lot to me.
More meant all those citation links could be archived so that link rot won’t have you having to replace dead links in the future. Don’t know that those archive youtube, but if you use a downloaded the video could be added to the regular archive.org if it’s not already there. Can also upload a copy of the e-book/PDF/whateverformats as a backup.
Thank you, I really appreciate the heads-up.
