We did not have a nuke until three months after the war with Germany was over.And with the soviet ruling a commie alliance that stretched from the Elbe to South China Sea.
Not exactly a great End Game there.
The Soviets paid 20 million lives for that territory
What do you propose FDR should have done to remove the Red Army?
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.
Any war with the Soviets was going to be bloody. Hard to sell on the home front. For what purpose?
They eventually collapsed in 40 years and it cost us no lives
Well, would have avoided A. the Korean War. B. the Vietnam War. C generations of fear of nuclear holocaust. and D. generations of oppression of Eastern Europe.
The seeds of the Vietnam war were planted during the Wilson administration when we chose to ignore Ho Chi Minh and shoved him aside in favor of French imperialists. From there it festered until LBJ blew the fucking top off of it however every president between Wilson and LBJ had a hand in escalating that mess and sucking up to the friggin frogs.
Or problem in Vietnam was backing the wrong horse from the get go. Ho was more of a nationalist than he was anything else. He was however desperate for help and we turned him down first. Some folks think it odd that he even based Vietnam's constitution on ours.

Postmodern Grammar Proves That College Education Is a Fraud and Should Not Be RewardedDid you mean "kowtow"?
The problem with Vietnam was we refused to stop supporting colonialism and then we turned a resulting civil war into a Cold WarWe did not have a nuke until three months after the war with Germany was over.And with the soviet ruling a commie alliance that stretched from the Elbe to South China Sea.

Actually, it was our fear of Communism that led to those wars.
LOL!!! Typical you blame US for it, and not the Empire that had a stated ideology of world conquest and sent men and materials to kill our people.

Consequences of Electing a Lightweight From Crooked Machine Politics"Good ole Joe" after the war.The US back then was war weary and not the super power it is today.
I think FDR was afraid of Hitler.
Why did he give Poland and other Eastern countries to Stalin after the war was over?
Oh and we were the only super power in the world.
We fought and won the wars on two fronts, and we had the only nuke bomb in the world.
If not for US the Russians would be speaking German today.

OUr part? What about them parking 10,000 tanks in the middle of Europe? Does that strike you as a responsible and restrained move?

First of all, it was Truman who gave away Eastern Europe, just like he later gave away North Korea. The military-industrial complex needed the Soviet Union to expand and become a more believable threat. So the John Birch Society was right for the wrong reason.

Truman was certainly a lightweight and an easily malleable unremarkable and incurious little man, but again, Eastern Europe was never his to "give away" in the first place.
What You Worship as DOCuments Are Called That Because They've Been DOCtoredFDR 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
But with zero thought to the post war situation.
The postwar situation where the US emerged with the worlds strongest economy and a military Super Power?
"Good ole Joe" after the war.The US back then was war weary and not the super power it is today.

FDR was Stalin's sock puppet. There was no need for Eastern Europe to fall under Stalin, that was FDR and later Truman "just following orders"
Good ole Joe.
