And all the while we were also fighting a separate war in the Pacific - thanks for all the help out there, Uncle Joe.

Really, we did just enough to the Japs to keep them back on their heels. There was a Europe first strategy out of the Pentagon. Everybody kind of knew that you could deal with Japan once the Germans were defeated. But defeating Japan would let Germany grow dangerously strong. As for Stalin, he simply had no ability to fight in the Pacific before the Germans were defeated without risking complete destruction himself. And he certainly could not have participated in any sort of Navy War. The most he could have done was fight the Japanese in Manchuria, but he had no ability to protect Force across the ocean into Japan, and I’m not aware of any Soviet strategic bombers that could have helped in the bombing campaign. It’s probably best for the world that they didn’t jump into the Pacific. If they would have we would probably be living with a north and south Japan today,

No, thanks. FDR would have given Stalin half of Japan.
