I don't think FDR 'gave' them anything, they took it. They probably had the largest land force in the world and, short of Nuking them (I'm not sure we had any a-bombs available) we weren't going to force them out of Eastern Europe. Stalin would have been fine with losing another million soldiers, I doubt if we'd have been willing to lose any.He gave them East Germany, Poland, and the other Eastern European countries.
He kept saying, "Good ole Joe."
FDR was a babe in a forest of haters.
The Soviets won 90 percent of the war against Germany
We won 90 percent of the war against Japan
No, 'Cow Towed' as in we towed cows to the port of Archangel as part of logistical support for the commies, or sumpin.Did you mean "kowtow"?
Fetchez la vache!
FDR fought a perfect strategy in WWII that minimized US deaths
1. He held back our forces in Europe and made the Soviets do most of the fighting and dying
2. He approved the Manhattan Project which created the bomb to end the war in the Pacific without US invasion
The Soviets won 90 percent of the war against Germany
We won 90 percent of the war against Japan
The Soviets won 90 percent of the war against Germany
We won 90 percent of the war against Japan
Why did Stalin insist that we land at Normandy at the cost of many many US soldiers?The Soviets won 90 percent of the war against Germany

Are you trying to say kowtow?
If ever in doubt look shit up before propagating ignorance.

But with zero thought to the post war situation.

Who liberated Europe???????
Because he was tired of bearing the brunt of the fighting and dying by himself.Why did Stalin insist that we land at Normandy at the cost of many many US soldiers?He gave them East Germany, Poland, and the other Eastern European countries.

The postwar situation where the US emerged with the worlds strongest economy and a military Super Power?
The Soviets had no long range logistical capability to go much further than they already had. Once our air forces took control of the air, even that would have been reduced to ashes. Then the Soviets would have had to retreat or be routed like they were in WW1.I don't think FDR 'gave' them anything, they took it. They probably had the largest land force in the world and, short of Nuking them (I'm not sure we had any a-bombs available) we weren't going to force them out of Eastern Europe.

Don't buy it. Russia had a deplorable infrastructure but still managed to keep their armies supplied. Once they were in Poland and Germany it only got easier. Air power is good but it didn't put the Brits, Germans, or Japanese out of the war by itself.The Soviets had no long range logistical capability to go much further than they already had.

We were tired of war, but we should have continued to free Eastern Europe as Patton wanted to do, but we just didnt have the emotional resources to betray an ally and fight four to six more years of war.
We got our win against three empires and we were satisfied to have those. We felt that the Soviets would not be able to long run their own mess for long and especially not plus half of Europe too.

And with the soviet ruling a commie alliance that stretched from the Elbe to South China Sea.
Not exactly a great End Game there.
We lost 400,000 lives in WWII and the people wanted it over and they wanted their sons back from the war.The Soviets had no long range logistical capability to go much further than they already had.

The Soviets paid 20 million lives for that territory
What do you propose FDR should have done to remove the Red Army?
We did not have a nuke until three months after the war with Germany was over.FDR fought a perfect strategy in WWII that minimized US deaths

My advice, if he had asked, would have been to declare the Soviets cobelligerents, not allies.
That would have made it clearer to the people that the Soviets were not friends. And no lend lease for them.
When the war ended, with the nuking of Berlin, the Iron Curtain would have ended up being a few miles outside of Moscow. The Cold War would have been like a still breeze, instead of 80 years of nuclear terror.
