7. Well, let's see if we can come up with an excuse…explanation….for FDR's actions….
....one might say that
Roosevelt accepted the Soviet word that they would reform, change....
Let's check:
Roosevelt signed the recognition agreement: Litvinov "returned to the Soviet embassy.....all smiles....and said 'Well, it's all in the bag; we have it.'"
On September 23, 1939, Dr. D. H. Dombrowsky testified before the Dies committee.

The Russians laughed about their alleged promises of future behavior. This is the conversation that Litvinov had with staff at his embassy after the 'agreement' was signed:
"Well, it's all in the bag. They wanted us to
recognize the debts we owed them and I promised we were going to negotiate. But they did not know we were going to negotiate until doomsday. The next one was a corker; they wanted us to
promise freedom of religion in the Soviet Union, and I promised that, too. I was very much prompted to offer that
I would personally collect all the Bibles and ship them over."
Manly, "The Twenty Year Revolution," p.33.
Did America elect and re-elect
a man with no moral compass....one perfectly sanguine with slaughter, genocide, alienation of the rights of people, with totalitarian governance???
You betcha'!
And....let's not forget that the very same conclusion can be entered for Hussein Obama, who insisted that the world's worst state sponsor of terrorism be awarded nuclear weapons....
....so much so, that he prevented the US government from preventing Hezbollah from bringing in $ billion worth of illegal drugs....
FDR and Hussein Obama.....Democrats
