Kissing up to Uncle Joe Stalin, instead of using this ideal opportunity to give the Soviet Dictator a lecture on Freedom and to denounce communism.
Roosevelt would die a few months later, he was on his last legs, and he still maintained true to the Communists, refusing to denounce the the murders of millions of Ukrainians that Stalin slaughtered.
This was FDR's opportunity, he utterly failed.
And because of this, he should be cancelled, his monument dumped in the drink.
The Yalta Conference of 1945 was an historic meeting of three World War II allies: U.S. President Roosevelt, British ...

" Kissing up to Uncle Joe Stalin, instead of using this ideal opportunity to give the Soviet Dictator a lecture on Freedom and to denounce communism."
Ha ha ha... well that comment certainly has distracted me and stopped me in my tracks from my mid-day wank!
So what do you think Stalin would have said having received this 'good dressing down'?
Maybe - "Shut the **** up you hypocritical spaz, so you've freed the slaves have you?
So when are you going to free them from enforced segregation? And when will they no longer need to cry out that Black Lives Matter 1968. 1990 maybe 2021? When are you going to give Women equal rights as we did in the USSR way back in 1923? And what sort of Freedom is it that denies a US State the right to secede if her people decide that is what they want?
"...refusing to denounce the the murders of millions of Ukrainians that Stalin slaughtered. "
Ha ha ha A great opportunity for Stalin to point out the State organised Genocide of millions of American Indigenous Peoples that you signed agreements with, then broke every one. Pushing them into inhospitable 'Gulags' whilst deliberately destroying their food source, the Buffalo. Freedom? The United States was never built on freedom but slavery of black peoples stolen from Africa and mass murder of the original American peoples.
As for the Ukrainian fascists they suffered under a natural famine - the so-called Holodomor. They welcomed the Nazis with flowers, formed many of the Einsatzgruppen death squads that murdered over a million Jews. Manned many of the posts guarding the Jews at Sobibor and Treblinka death camps and even after the Nazi's fled, the
Ukrainians massacred thousands of Poles. They deserved everything they got and more.
Stalin was too soft - every Ukrainian man over 16 should have been given a one-way ticket to the Gulags.
Poland that three times had been used by the west as a corridor to attack Russia - Napolian, Gernany 1914 and Hitler 1939 should have made no bones about it and told both FDR and Churchill that both it and the whole of Germany would be permanently occupied under Soviet rule indefinitely and as his troops were already there.
What Stalin should have also said. " I have agreed to help you and declare war against Japan but if my other terms are unacceptable to you I think you need to go and tell your peoples that the war will not be over with the defeat of Germany and Japan but you have decided to declare war on we the Soviet Union to take back the land our troops have given blood to win - maybe your people will agree!
O and by the way FDR I hope you will soon be giving full details and asking our agreement on how and where you intend to use that 'superbomb' you've developed and I'm sure Prime Minister Churchill knows all about, you haven't forgotten there are three members of this alliance and I'm sure you wouldn't want me to feel left out!
