Surely that deal, conducted between two mass murdering dictators, has no legal standing in the modern day.

Guess they think so...

I don't hear much about Eisenhower's deals with stalin being brought to light...such as the May 10,1945 "repatriation" ordered by ol'Ike to turn over 25,000 Russian solidiers who had fought for the Allies to stalin, who then executed them...all.

There's lots of history about all sides many people don't know. Really. You'd be surprised.

First I've ever heard of the Eisenhower pact you cite,
and if you're suggesting that General Eisenhower KNEW
the repatriated troops would be executed, then you are
sorely mistaken, and I would have to question your entire
assertion.

Operation Keelhaul was the "repatriation" of Russian, Ukrainian, and other peoples who had escaped Stalin's hell on earth behind the retreating German armies. Around five million were sent bak to Uncle Joe with the knowledge they would be exterminated.

FDR and Eisenhower's little gift to Stalin.

The russians executed russian POWs in german POW camps too. In the russian army, surrendering was punishable by death.

In fact, they didn't just execute the freed POW, they executed the POWs family living in russia too.
