    I think Tim is again referring to the time during the russian revolution
when we sent troops *at the request of the russian government* in order to
help fight the bolsheviks.  It was a case of 'too little, too late'.  He 
doesn't make this clear, presumably to help foster the
illusion that we were "imperialist agressors", sending our
troops to invade russia.
