FDR’s post-war plans were concentrated on eliminating the British Empire. The Soviet threat was largely ignored.

He used American might to play Churchill and Stalin against one another, but both had a much clearer vision of the post-war world than FDR.

Yep.

Like McArthur & Patton wanted. They were right.

I think the mistake was giving the USSR a little too much help.

We should have let them bleed more, obviously.

I think this was a common sentiment back in the early 40s. My grandfather, who was too old for the war, always said we should have taken out the Russians after Hilter was gone.
