These telegram excerpts prove Stalin was reneging on his Yalta agreements from the very beginning.
Which is another reason I contend we did not “give away” Poland at Yalta. We reached deals with Stalin to have free elections in Eastern Europe. He reneged. The Red Army had occupied Eastern Europe and would not leave voluntarily. At no point was the United Staes Army ever in possession of that territory; it was never “ours” to give away.
This was the inevitable outcome of having chosen Stalin over Hitler.I fail to see what else we could have done.
