The Russian troops already controled that real estate. What would you have had FDR do? Start another world war to beat htem back to Russia? You're falling into the same line of liberal euro-weenie thinking that blames the US instead of the people who started the Cold War and made it necessary. The US isn't nearly as culpable for not doing something to stop another's evil acts. Blame the party that committed the acts - the Russians. Those countries that got taken over should also shoulder some of the blame for resisting so weakly and/or for being part of the Axis in the first place. I'm surprised you also didn't criticize FDR for not acting preemptively and preventing France from being overrun. Blaming FDR and by extension the US, doesn't make sense in this instance. There was plenty of things wrong with FDR's policies but not attacking an ally right after a long and bloody war to free-up some former enemies because they might be enslaved for the next few decades isn't one of them.
Basically all we had to do was tell Stalin to get out of town before sundown.
Of course Stalin had so many accomplises in the U.S. Government, he knew we weren't going to do anything.
Stalin who butchered 20-40 million of his own countryman was an ally?? The fact is Russian troops didnt even control Russia, there wouldnt have been a war. Russias military was completely destroyed as were all of its manufacturing centers we could have marched to Moscow with no resistance whatsoever. We definitely didnt have to give Stalin half of Europe. We can thank FDR for giving half of Europe to communists. Fifty years of cold war, thanks to FDR!!!!
