Now.....about 'The Costs of Not Ending WWII'.......
4. Franklin Roosevelt aligned this nation with Joseph Stalin and Soviet communism within months of his election, in 1933.
Taken by itself, it might mean very little, perhaps simply a magnanimous gesture.
But numerous other actions by that President lead to in inexplicable conclusion: Roosevelt had an inordinate fondness for Stalin and his homicidal, pathological regime.
Perhaps the most egregious is
that Roosevelt obeyed Stalin's instructions to forbid the surrender of Nazi Germany.....which might have been accomplished...years earlier than V-E Day, May 8,1945.
5.
What was the actual cost of allowing the war to go on for several years more than necessary?
"...
.over one hundred thirty-five thousand American GIs died – a startling figure today – between D day[June 6, 1944] and V-E day,[May 8, 1945]...."
So did the Red Army really singlehandedly defeat the Third Reich?
135,000 more American soldiers, sons, fathers, brothers..
...who would never be celebrated, welcomed home as heroes,
....would have danced in Times Square.....

World War 2 ended with the unconditional surrender of the Axis powers. On 8 May 1945, the Allies accepted Germany's surrender, about a week after Adolf Hitler had committed suicide. VE Day – Victory in Europe celebrates the end of the Second World War on 8 May 1945."

Consider, arguendo, the savings in American and other Allied lives had the conclusion of the war been accomplished in the late 30s or early 40s.
The only loser would have been world communism.
