At the Tehran conference FDR, agreed with Churchill, that Stalin should have 15 nations that would serve as a buffer zone against the West. Some of those nations would be satellite states of the USSR while some of them would be constituted as “Soviet friendly” nation states. This is bad enough but when you compound it with the reasons given by FDR for the war (Atlantic Charter) wherein it was said that the war was being fought for self determination for peoples (a residual hangover from Wilsonian “reasoning” from WW I) the consequence of this turning over to Stalin of millions of people is incredible incredulity at the brazen and outrageous hypocrisy of FDR and his administration. This decision was a decision to be an accomplice to mass murder.
The Atlantic Charter, which FDR was forever thumping as the reason the USA was fighting WW II, guaranteed, as the ideal goals of the war among other things,
1.) No territorial aggrandizement
2.) No territorial changes made against the wishes of the people
3.) Restoration of self-government to those deprived of it
4.) Global cooperation to secure better economic and social conditions for all
5.) Freedom from fear and want (This one is a real Utopian Hoot)
6.) Abandonment of the use of force, as well as disarmament of aggressor nations.
In the giving of 15 nations and millions of people to the blood thirsty Stalin, FDR violated every one of his putative cherished principles. In doing this FDR proved himself a liar and a mountebank. He is to be despised as a criminal President.
In these action one can only conclude one of two thing. Either FDR was a Communist himself (goodness knows many of his close advisers were later found out to be) and so desired the ascendancy of Communism or he was even then working to set up a bi-polar Statist global hegemony arrangement (USA vs. USSR) that would satisfy the requirements for citizens all over the globe, to need the Mega-Government States which were the USA and the USSR. In brief, FDR was organizing job security for Government by dividing the world in two.
Celebrate Presidents Day? Memorial Day? Independence Day? I curse those days.
