There's A Myth That Roosevelt Gave Stalin

We Both Agreed That Stalin Was Determined To Hold Out Against The Germans. He Told Us He'd Never Let Them Get To Moscow. But If He Was Wrong, They'd Go Back To The Urals And Fight. They'd Never Surrender.

Roosevelt Was Determined To Stop Stalin From Taking Over Eastern Europe. He Thought They Finally Had An Agreement On Poland. Before Roosevelt Died, He Realized That Stalin Had Broken His Agreement.

Americans Wanted To Settle All Our Difficulties With Russia And Then Go To The Movies And Drink Coke.

Roosevelt Was The One Who Had The Vision To Change Our Policy From Isolationism To World Leadership. That Was A Terrific Revolution. Our Country's Never Been The Same Since.

Poland, Of Course, Was The Key Country. I Remember Stalin Telling Me That The Plains Of Poland Were The Invasion Route Of Europe To Russia And Always Had Been, And Therefore He Had To Control Poland.
