At the end of WWII, two of the allied nations worked with their once enemies to "stop the spread of communism." Things started off with a bang in Greece and elsewhere. The US even refused to look for certain escaped individuals in South America, where, I'm sure you remember, the Israelis had to take on that task themselves. That eventually led to the famous banking lawsuit between the Israelis and the Swiss banks. Also, there was a lot of gold that went missing. Anyhow, those two allied nations became very interested in Ukraine over "stopping the spread." A famous meeting was even held there toward the end of WWII between the three allied nations. Churchill wasn't pleased about its outcome. Funnily enough, I was just watching one of the old Harry Palmer movies yesterday, which mentions some of this. Talk about coincidence.
