Franklin Diablo Roosevelt shackled the military as WWII was drawing to a close. That would have been a golden opportunity to utterly destroy the USSR. FDR, being a marxist, couldn’t see his beloved communist nation overthrown. As Senator Joseph McCarthy later conclusively proved, the corrupt Roosevelt regime was teeming with commies.
Didnt Patton make comments about wanting to push the soviets out of Europe after Germany’s defeat?
As much as I agree with such sentiment, the reality is that the troops wouldn’t have supported another major war.
Everyone wanted to go home. There were demobilization riots as is, a war with Russia would have triggered a lot more of them.
FDR also was not going to recognize the Jewish State.
On April 5, 1945, Roosevelt wrote to King Abdul Aziz ibn Saud, promising that as long as he was President, America would not recognize a Jewish State:
“I communicated to you the attitude of the American Government toward Palestine...that no decision be taken... I assured you that I would take no action, in my capacity as Chief of the Executive... with regard to the question of Palestine...the policy of this Government...is unchanged.”
He died a week later, and Truman immediately proceeded with plans to recognize the State of Israel.
