Back in 1951 , Colliers magazine went scifi with a special result devoted to what would happen if the US occupied Russia . They called it the “ preview of the war we do not want . ”
harmonize to Strange Maps , this map “ shows the UN flag flying over Moscow , with the Eastern Bloc state , the Baltic Soviet commonwealth and Ukraine ( but not Belarus ) commemorate as ‘ occupied ’ . ”
The Colliers editors wrote that the point of the government issue is :
To warn the malign masters of the Russian hoi polloi that their conspiracy to enslave humanness is the dark , downhill road to World War III ; to fathom a herculean call for ground and understanding between the people ’s of East and West — before it ’s too late ; to demonstrate that if the state of war we do not require is forced upon us , we will win .
Ah , the proficient old days of Cold War scientific discipline fable .
