Stalin's alliance with Hitler extended around the world. In America, the Soviets' spy network--the NKVD--through the US Longshoremen's unions it controlled, staged labor strikes in US ports to prevent shipments of US-made arms and equipment from sailing to support England at the height of the Nazi blitz.

Yet the biggest, down-low Soviet appeaser in America, FDR, had an ongoing collaboration with Churchill to enter WWII against Germany.

Yet the biggest, down-low Soviet appeaser in America, FDR, had an ongoing collaboration with Churchill to enter WWII against Germany.

I don't see a contradiction there. The Soviets were allied with Hitler. This is a fact. Roosevelt was a Lefty and came to power and stayed there with the help of American Lefties, including Communists. Yet he was a politician. As WWII in Europe came to a boil, because of events and the views of the American electorate--which was not Communist--Roosevelt ceased to be an ally of Stalin, his enemy's friend.

No one changes sides quicker than a Leftist, whether he's Stalin or Roosevelt.
