FDR was a great man, a genuine democrat, a winner for himself and for America. The USA wound up in 1945 controlling 90% of the worlds assets. In many ways, it has been downhill for the US ever since, until now most of our assets are owned by foreigners. Which is fine! The rest of the world had that relationship with is for 60 years. Now that it is over, I hope Americans can bear, as they had to bear, being the poor relations with as much grace as they did.
snekable..you are the one you needs to study history.
All agreement where done in Yalta and Teharen two years before WW2 ended and it was your ball-less president Roosevelt who fucked Central Europe big time. Shame on him forever.
Looser Roosevelt does not make me angry at all. He was just one of many bad US presidents. His lack of "balls" with dealings with Stalin created Cold War which proooved to be very costly.
Ok, maybe you should try studying history. Roosevelt died before the war ended in Germany before he could discuss who got what. Also, Roosevelt gave the Russians their victory via 10 billion dollars of supplys propping that dying country up, when Roosevelt could do nothing else. America was always an isolationist country and very much did not want to get involved until P.H. and by then, we had to go into Africa to prevent the nazi's from getting oil.
Roosevelt was a cool-headed, pragmatic politician. He never gave anything to anyone, and fought to make every deal favorable to the USA and the USA alone. Stalin did the same for his side
In their last meeting and until the end of his life, Roosevelt wanted something FROM Stalin. He wanted the USSR to Join the invasion of Japan. Roosevelt did not know that the atomic bomb would work. His was told a Japanese invasion would cost a million American lives. He wanted Russian help, so he had to give.
As soon as Russia was accepted into the war as an ally, the principle had been conceded that if the allies won, the territory between the USSR and Germany WOULD be under Russian influence. The Red Army liberated it from the Germans and would be the occupier. This wasn't Roosevelt's doing; this was Hitler's doing. Indeed, several Central European states were Hitler's allies in attacking Russia
No doubt you would want the US to push on to Moscow. That would have been a Truman decision, not FDRs.
Good to know Roosevelt can still make you angry. Only shows how great he was, as even 60 years on idiots like you still feel fear in their hearts for him.

Roosvelt maybe was "a great" for you.. but for Poles and other in Central Europe Roosvelt was just a looser who handed half of Europe to Stalin.
