I’m not one of those Americans unfamiliar with how chummy Stalin was with Hitler. In the Non-Aggression Pact of 1939 Stalin gained control of the Baltic States, which, despite their portraying themselves as victims of Stalin’s terror, were quite the enthusiastic participants in the Holocaust. I’ve silenced many a Russian in Internet discussions when they start with that ‘’20 million dead because of the Hitlerite Fascists’’ bs until I point out to them how content Old Joe was to stroll down the garden path with Old Adolph. I have known quite a number of Poles to whom Sept. 1st. is their September 11th. and they are always impressed and grateful to find an American who understands this history, and more so when I mention the word ‘’ Katyn’’ You know I’m sure what that is. Poles hate Russians. But as to turning on the Soviet Union in 1945, no my friend, that would have been suicide. You haven’t seemed to consider what I said in the impending invasion of Japan, as necessary as that appeared at the time, the predicted causalities would have been enormous. And how would you have explained to the American people , after having been told the Russians were our friends and having fought along side Russia as an ally , they are now suddenly an enemy? The Russians were not a beaten army in 1945, not at all. Slavic peoples, as I have seen over the years love you like a brother when you’re on their side. Betray them, and you will have an enemy like no other. It will be a hatred that will last for generations. besides, even if America had over whelmed the Russians, we would be occupying them to this day and the bloodshed will have never ended. Americans wanted an end to the war in 1945, not a continuation of it.
As many will also recognize September 17th as their September 11th.
But Korea and Vietnam were extensions of WWII.
The armies our troops were fighting were backed and funded by the USSR. This way they were able to fight us without exposing their own troops.
As far as FDR and his Democrat Party is concerned we have met the enemy and he lives in Washington.
Today, if one can imagine it, the situation is even worse thanks to the weasel and his allies huddled down in what I refer to now as the White Hut.
