I never understood why FDR decided to ally himself to Stalin, who murdered more of his own people than Hitler did. Stalin wanted Hitler as an ally until the Nazis betrayed their pact.



Personally I would throw up just being in the same picture as this monster.

Not a matter of "wanting" as much as both sides thought the Pact would ultimately give them the upper hand over the other. Stalin thought that War in the West would weaken the armies so he could swoop in and get all of Europe. Hitler thought the British and French would reneg on their support for Poland, once they learned of the Pact, which would then allow Hitler to focus on Russia.

For that photo-op, the Russians intentionally gave Churchill a shorter chair.

FDR Supported Stalin because FDR and his wife, Elenore, were both communist.

Well, Stalin didn’t declare war on us. Hitler did.
