I’m awfully curious as to how the author would explain away state socialists regularly reporting on the oppression of Palestinians.

there were revolutionary opportunities that were squandered, but it was a no-win scenario. the allies made it clear that turning eastern europe into a radioactive crater would be their defense plan, and the timing of that contributed to the decision that was made

The Chinese Civil War also didn't have a clear winner yet. It made little sense for the Soviet Union to send aid to Greek communists against Greek nationalists only for Chinese communists to lose against Chinese nationalists. The second phase of the Chinese Civil War was the first modern proxy war with the US backing the KMT and the Soviet Union backing the CPC.
