So how do you get the Soviets out of Poland in 1945 without having to fight them?
I don’t know, but there were agreements with the Soviets, never enforced, to allow free elections in the Eastern European countries. How could they have been enforced? I don’t know, but why make agreements if you’re not going to try to enforce them? Eastern Europe, remember, wasn’t just unconditionally handed over to Stalin. And yet it was betrayed.
