Roosevelt was a big fan of Hitler's before the war

The Soviets did the fighting and dying against the Germans while we waited three years to open a second front

They had broken the Eastern Front and had Germany in retreat by D Day
The Soviets had no choice but to fight. It was never their intention, they wanted the west to exhaust itself and then they would attack. Plus we (Actually the British) opened a second front in 1940, a third front in Tunisia in November 1942, a fourth front in Scicily in July 1943. None of them satisfied Stalin. Even Overlord didn’t satisfy Stalin, he claimed it was too small an effort.
 
It certainly contributes towards that. Clearly, he was among America's most loved presidents at the time. It also let's me know his opposition party is merely engaging in revising history because he was a Democrat.
FDR: loved mass murderer Uncle Joe so much that he allowed the USSR to direct AWallies WWII strategy which cost us Berlin, Prague and Vienna; conducted the Tuskegee Experiment which influenced Mengele and the Nazis; turned away Jewish refugees fleeing Hitler; locked Japanese Americans in camps aaaaaaaand extended the FDR Depression by 6 years.

Regardless, the Soviets defeated 90 percent of the German forces

Germany didn't attack us, so how does that obligate the USA in any way?
 
The op is grossly misinformed

In 1932 winston churchill was the only national politician who took hitler seriously

FDR was focused on the Great Depression and took little interest in nazis

And the same goes for 90% of the voters

But that does not make them pro nazi rither although some Americans such as joe kennedy and henry ford were soft on fascism
Churchill was not a national politician in 1932 and FDR was not president yet
 
I have heard this for a number of years, history books make mention of it, it was from the progressives that Hitler was and grew to like euthanasia. The Hitler snubbing Owens at the Olympics wasn’t true either, however it was true FDR snubbed Owens when he invited all the Olympic athletes, except blacks, to the Whitehouse.

Time to grow up and face the facts.
FDR would not shake Jesse Owen's hand!

Nope. Germany had 60% of its forces on the Eastern front after D-Day. Also, the US sent massive amounts of weapons and supplies to the Soviets under Lend lease. virtually every truck the Russians used during the war was American built.

World War II Allies: U.S. Lend-Lease to the Soviet Union, 1941-1945
  • 400,000 jeeps & trucks
  • 14,000 airplanes
  • 8,000 tractors
  • 13,000 tanks
  • 1.5 million blankets
  • 15 million pairs of army boots
  • 107,000 tons of cotton
  • 2.7 million tons of petrol products
  • 4.5 million tons of food

We opened the second front in North Africa in 1942. In case you forgot we had to get air and sea supremacy before invading Europe and that took a couple of years. As for Russia is this the same Russia under Stalin that cut a deal with Hitler and invaded the other half of Poland in 1939 with hardly anyone saying a word? The same Russia that invaded Finland? The same Russia that in 1944 stopped short of Warsaw and let the Nazis put down a rebellion which was led by anti communists?

Yes, that Russia

The same Russia that defeated the bulk of the German Army
FDR sent supplies so they could do the fighting and dying
 
During WWII, FDR turned the US into a Socialist country.

The Government controlled all critical production, told you what you could produce, set your profit, controlled your workforce and what you paid them and controlled all critical supplies

Saved the world
Socialism didn't save the world. It simply disguised who was paying for the whole mess. Americans lived like paupers during the war.
 
Yes, that Russia

The same Russia that defeated the bulk of the German Army

the same Russia that cut a deal with Hitler on Poland and invaded the eastern half of Poland and invaded Finland with little or no world protest. Yes we sent Russia aid and they fought the bulk of the Nazis army. A temporary agreement. Stalin was as evil as Hitler.

Agree

Smart move by FDR to get Stalin to do all the fighting and dying so we didn’t have to.
