Too bad you deleted what I did say.  What I said was that the US sent
an armed force to help defeat the Red army during the Russian Civil War
in the 20's.  The American contingent was part of a group which included
British and other European troops: sent to help stamp out the
"Red menace".  Most Americans don't know this fact: but then most
Americans are taught little in general about our occupations of various
countries in Latin America, the slaughter of workers while unions were being
organized, etc.  Such facts are rather unpleasant to the powers that be.
You can look it up in any history book, specifically it is mentioned in
the book "What About the Russians?" which gives another more detailed
reference.
