F-the Soviets. They should have been kicked back to their borders when Germany fell. Roosevelt giving Stalin a huge chunk of Europe was asinine and criminal.

So what are you suggesting, that in May 1945, the US Army attack the Red Army in Germany and attempt to drive it back to the Soviet border? While we are still at war with Japan? And you do realize that in the United States at that time, there was absolutely ZERO public support for this idea. Also, while I have no love for FDR, I’m tired of the “FDR gave away Poland” statement. The United States Army never occupied Poland. It was never in our possession to give away. The most cursory look at the map shows that Poland’s fate was sealed by the geopolitical nature of World War II. The Red Army was going to take Poland on its way to Berlin, and as long a Hitler insisted on fighting both of us, there was no way we were ever going to get to Poland before the Red Army did. Not with the Germans blocking our way. And once the Red Army occupied Poland, they weren’t going to leave, period. And we weren’t going to make them. Period.
