FDR thought Stalin was a swell guy.
“FDR thought Stalin was a swell guy.”
FDR also had some people people very close to him (e.g. Harry Hopkins) that influenced him for Stalin’s benefit. FDR seemed to bend over forward for Stalin. Some say he really feared Stalin making a deal with Hitler and that is why he went overboard with Stalin. Tehran and Yalta conferences were disasters for FDR and the US. Brett Baier has a book out now about Tehran meeting ... FDR-Churchill-Stalin, haven’t read it... yet, though I saw his 1 hr show about it - Brett was too kind to FDR legacy in his show.
