For some reason Roosevelt wanted to upstage Churchill and be pals with

So he gave him Poland. Betraying the trust that the Poles had in us.

And Russia exacted revenge.

They had already done their ethnic cleansing

I think rather its you that have gulped the pre packaged Russian koolaid.

Are you a fan of \'Donbas Devushka\', the pro Russian troll who turns out
to be a bitter fired ex military US servicewoman sacked for lying.
And not the Russian from the Donbas, as she claimed?

I really think you should watch the videos of Russians beheading
Ukrainian captives, and shooting them in cold blood, and admitting to
killing women and children on orders from their officers.

So he gave him Poland. Betraying the trust that the Poles had in us.

Poland was the first item on the Soviet agenda. Stalin stated,
\"For the Soviet government, the question of Poland was one of
honor\" and security because Poland had served as a historical
corridor for forces attempting to invade Russia.[12] In addition,
Stalin stated regarding history that \"because the Russians had
greatly sinned against Poland\", \"the Soviet government was trying
to atone for those sins\".[12] Stalin concluded that \"Poland must
be strong\" and that \"the Soviet Union is interested in the creation
of a mighty, free and independent Poland\". Accordingly, Stalin
stipulated that Polish government-in-exile demands were not negotiable,
and the Soviets would keep the territory of eastern Poland that they
had annexed in 1939, with Poland to be compensated for that by extending
its western borders at the expense of Germany. Contradicting his prior
stated position, Stalin promised free elections in Poland despite the
existence of a Soviet sponsored provisional government that had recently
been installed by him in the Polish territories occupied by the Red Army.

Roosevelt wanted the Soviets to enter the Pacific War against Japan
with the Allies, which he hoped would end the war sooner and reduce
American casualties.

Nope, no Kool Aid involved at all.

Putin has clearly invaded an independant Ukraine
and it is irrelevant how many russians are in the Ukraine.

Bullshit. There was never ever any possibility

To say nothing of Swedes, Danes, Norwegians, French, Dutch, Ukrainians,

Hungary, and other countries and wanted no part of it.

Of course Roosevelt and Churchill were fine with supporting Stalin and

More fools them. Britain was in no shape to defend itself in 1939 let
alone Poland. At the onset all Germany wanted was to build a road to East
Prussia which had been severed from Germany proper by the Danzig Corridor.
Poland as an independent country hadn\'t even existed for 100 odd years
prior to Versailles. Figuring Britain had their back the Poles got
pigheaded, a national trait. Arguably Poland would have had a much better
war had it allied with Germany.

Beneš thought he was wilier but that didn\'t prove to be the case.
Czechoslovakia was another idiotic creation by politicians that had no
feeling for ethnic groups. Not surprisingly the Czechs and Slovaks seem to
be getting along quite well together since their velvet divorce.

Even today there are plenty of people in the Right of the USA who think
\'Russia isn\'t our problem\'

It is and it always has been.

Someday all those old cold warriors will march off into the sunset. It
can\'t come too soon. I have no fondness for Russia but I have to agree
with Putin that the US has been prodding and poking since the supposed end
of the Cold War. Britain didn\'t want to let go of world hegemony and lost
everything. The US is well on the same path.

Yeah, that worked out really well. Korea is still festering, and i think
