[Verginius Rufus]

The FDR statue should have him with his famous cigarette. The PC crowd saw to it that that didn't happen.

Part of the problem at Yalta was that Stalin had troops on the ground in Eastern Europe and the Western powers did not. Also FDR was very eager to get Stalin to commit to fighting Japan, not knowing that the atomic bombs would make Soviet participation unnecessary, or at least less vital. At least he did not agree to let the Soviets have part of Japan to occupy.

Fortunately FDR survived past the November 1944 election or we would have had Henry Wallace at Yalta.

The FDR memorial in DC is one of the worst of all the monuments. Makes me wonder if a descendant of Senator Taft designed it.

That is a very minor at least.
Wallace thought that sharing nuclear secrets with the Russians was a good idea, post war.

At Yalta, Russia would get land lost in the war with Japan. Wallace might not have known of the Atomic Bomb, but it would have been in play as he had sympathies for the Russians.
