Entry: Buchanan, Kennan, and the "Good War" Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/buchanan_kennan_and_the_good_war#28524 Post contents: Paul you are so right. the USA treated Stalin like he was a great democrat, not a mass murderer and partner of Hitler, who had a falling out. Stalin should have been kept as an arms length ally and told that no border ajustments would be allowed. Instead both Roosevelt and Churchill let him lead them around by the nose. We didn't treat France like that. Stalin needed us more than we needed him. Sure the Russians did most of the fighting and dying. They had no choice in the matter. Roosevelt treated Britain worse than the Soviets. He bled them dry of all their gold and assets. He gave Stalin cart blanche for everything. Britain and France got nothing from the war, but the dstruction of their empires. Stalin was given half of Europe and an upper hand in China. Sent at: 2008 12 02
