No we didn’t. That was actually a big mistake. The Soviets were our enemy before, during and after WWII. We didn’t need the USSR. They needed us.

I appreciate and applaud that narrative. Nothing gained with FDR referring to Stalin as 'Uncle Joe.' But clearly the circumstances with the Middle East are a bit more complex...Can't exactly parallel to other examples in history.

I was just commenting on the myth that the Soviet Union helped us in WWII. If we had delayed going into Europe until 1945, then the Soviet Union would have been crushed and the Nazis would have run out of soldiers before the invasion. We saved the USSR by forcing the Nazis to fight a two front war.

Our two mortal enemies were locked in a fight to the death. We saved one of them.
