“FDR’s alliance with Russia was all about WWII.”
I believe she is referring to official diplomatic recognition of the U.S.S.R. in 1933; long before joining forces with them in WWII.
Ironically Hitler was hoping that Stalin would have agreed to lead Hitler’s Russian Puppet State. Despite being bitter enemies, Hitler greatly admired Stalin.
Socialists love other socialists.
Ditto That!
its water under the bridge, its a moot point, there is nothing to be done about it....
I am so tired of people "discovering" past wrongs or even present wrongs and do nothing physical about it....
like our pubs...we can't stop immigration, nor the IRS, nor obamanocare, nor VA scandals, nor the helping of ISIS and other moslem terrorists...just like the white kid never fights back....just sits there and takes it....
One day maybe,mwe’ll learn all of the truth. Maybe too late.
Simple: Democrats LOVE DEATH.
Stunning quote.
Transformation or milepost? It certainly was a marker, but was it a cause?
Very doubtful it would have collapsed the Soviet government. The capitol would have simply shifted eastwards to the safe zone. Napoleon burned Moscow. Russians had that in their institutional memory bank that loss of Moscow does not mean the government has collapsed, or that the invaders have won.
I've long felt that FDR was the worst tyrant the USA has ever had. If more people read about his presidency, they'd be shocked to see how he trampled on people's rights in order to run those failed economic policies. Thank goodness the NRA was ruled unconstitutional by the SCOTUS (of course, that led to King FDR's attempt to enlarge and pack the court).
FDR is the worst, followed by LBJ and Hussein IMO. But actually, our current woes can probably be traced back to FDR's commie-riddled administration which set up an anti-American apparatus that still operates.
One of the most insightful/important analysis to show up on FR in a long time, IMHO. God, I hate what the left has done to this country.
Read America Betrayal and Freedom Betrayed. You will begin to understand how the U.S. was manipulated with help from inside the White House and the State Department to enter a war fought for the benefit of the Soviet Union. Stalin had this figured out by 1938. The Soviet Union entered the war bankrupt and came out in control of Eastern Europe with China soon turning communist. FDR helped him every step of the way. We are taught the war was started to protect the independence of Poland and it ended with Poland owned by the Soviet Union. So what really was in play? Read the books.
Also, I think, what the Israeli Left is trying to do with the murderous Palestinians.
Also, what the American Jewish Left encourages Israel to do.

Wow, terrific post.
Thanks for putting this up.
It’s always exciting to discover that someone else has clearly expressed things you have thought about for decades.
Now, I have a question for the many part time World War II historians on this thread who, like me, who are drawn to books like this.
What would have happened in Europe after June 1941 if the USA had not supported the Soviet Union?
Many people do not realize the truly massive scale of military supplies we sent.
I think the USSR would have collapsed, or, at the very least, Stalin would have had to surrender everything west of the Volga.
How would we have fought the war in Europe if Hitler had been comfortably ensconced in western Russia without a serious military threat on that front?
My general feeling is that Hitler would hav been in this position if we had not provided lend-lease military aid to Stalin and once Hitler was so ensconced, he would have been very difficult to remove. So despite my misgivings of having Stalin as an ally and despite all that happened after that, I think it was necessary. But I am no historian in any sense. This is but a seat of the pants judgement. Would love to see some more learned judgements.

not true, in fact, one of the final points you realize in her book, is that we did not fight to our doctrine, but to soviet doctrine, we waxed the Nazis only AFTER the soviets entered German territory, we didnt invade until Russia was inside German borders
and she makes it clear, it appears to have been why we waited so long to invade Europe in France
