How can Wilson be a Cold Warrior?

He was into his *second* term in Office when the Russian Revolution occurred in Oct. 1917.

I don't see Wilson's League of Nations as a stance against Communism, but more as stance that Isolationism would become a flawed foreign policy for the 20th Century.

I don't see Wilson as a cold warrior, but more as the 20th Century's first Political Visionary; the first leader who grasped the impending fact of international connectedness and influence.



I'm not saying Wilson was an evil dictator. But he did send 10,000 USA troops to Vladivostok in support of the White Army, along with with 10,000 each from France and Britain. We also supported Japan in its incursion into Siberia to protect their interests. American capitalists were scarred shitless by the rise of communism. Government policy reflected that fear.
