Roosevelt was at death’s door at Yalta, and he was surrounded by advisers who were, in my opinion, blind to who and what Stalin really was. To put it in the most charitable light I can, they naively trusted the word and goodwill of a tyrant and mass murderer.

Between FDR's proclivities, his health, and his naive advisers, Stalin almost certainly knew going in he had this thing in the bag.
