Doug MacArthur could’ve finished all of the communists then and there with A bombs, but Truman had to be a beta

I first thought this said Harriet Tubman and was very confused.

Blame FDR for arming the communists in the first place.

And for ignoring advance intelligence that could have prevented much death and destruction at Pearl Harbor.

That would be a hot take, wouldn't it?

and don't take your eyes off that Sojourner Truth chick either.

That would be because it never happened. I don't know of a single instance of American troops stepping foot in European Russia during any war we've been involved in.

MacArthur wanted to drop A bombs on major Chinese cities during the Korean War to stop them

Patton wanted to turn and attack the Soviets after Germany fell and would use Wehrmacht troops to supplement American, French, and British forces

Truman stopped both of them. We had a chance for a brief period as the sole nuclear power in the world to defeat evil and that one man fricking ruined it

I don’t think our definition of “we” is remotely similar.

Truman refused to give heavy arms to South Korea. Stalin gave lots of heavy arms to North Korea so SK didn't any way to stop the NORKS.

I stand corrected. I knew we sent troops to Vladivostok, did not realize we sent them to the Northern Front as well.

Somebody please correct me if I am wrong.

FDR is also complicit in all of this. Churchill did not want the Allies to invade France. He thought we could attack the Germans from Northern Africa. Stalin insisted on the French invasion, and FDR sided with Stalin. Americans sacrificed so much for D-Day. It may not have even been necessary.

Stalin was supposed to help us against the Japanese. He didn’t even declare war on the Japanese until after Hiroshima. Stalin played FDR like a fiddle.
