15. And, for speaking the truth......
"At the time of his death,
Patton had been relegated to a desk job, overseeing the collection of Army records in Bavaria. That he had been
an outspoken critic of Stalin and a vocal proponent of liberating Berlin and the German people from certain
communist aggression triggered his sudden removal from the battlefield. In the aftermath of war, the Western powers sought to sideline the mercurial Patton and his incendiary views.
But Patton despised the politically driven circus and the media minions that carried out their dirty work. Still,
he continued to speak out against the Russians as an American witness to their brutality during and after the war. As Stalin devoured Eastern Europe, Patton remarked,
“I have no particular desire to understand them except to ascertain how much lead or iron it takes to kill them… …the Russian has no regard for human life and they are all out sons-of-bitches, barbarians, and chronic drunks.”
In early May 1945, as the Allies shut down the Nazi war machine, Patton stood with his massive 3rd Army on the outskirts of Prague in a potential face off with the Red Army.
He pleaded for General Eisenhower’s green light to advance and capture the city for the Allies, which also would have meant containment of the Russians.
British Prime Minister Churchill also thought the move a crucial and beneficial one for post-war Europe and insisted upon it, but to no avail.
Eisenhower denied Patton’s request, and the Russians took the region, which would pay dearly for years to come. Earlier that year, at the February conference in Yalta, President Roosevelt, with Churchill at his side, extended the hand of friendship to “Uncle Joe” Stalin and signed his Faustian pact. In so doing, the destiny of millions was reduced to
mass starvation, blood revenge, and distant gulags.
At the time, Patton understood the tragedy of this event and wrote, “
We promised the Europeans freedom. It would be worse than dishonorable not to see that they have it. This might mean war with the Russians, but what of it?”
As with Prague,
Patton’s request to secure Berlin was denied. Sadly, after Patton finally reached the ravaged city, he wrote his wife on July 21, 1945,
” for the first week after they took it (Berlin), all women who ran were shot and those who did not were raped. I could have taken it (instead of the Soviets) had I been allowed.”
In the end, yes Patton was a genius commander such as are many today within the purged ranks of military leadership but never forget,
Roosevelt was ultimately the string puller and hence, Russia got its way and the libtards destroyed the face of the planet for the next 50 years until the dissolution of the Soviet machine."

a. "Hell, why do we care what those goddamn Russians think?
We are going to have to fight them sooner or later, within the next generation. Why not do it now while our Army is intact and the damn Russians can have their hind end kicked back to Russia in three months? We can do it easily with the help of the German troops we have, if we just arm them and take them with us. They hate the bastards.[92]
These actions were all Eisenhower could handle; he could not cover this one up and had no choice but to relieve Patton of his command. Patton was personally hurt by the loss."
Military History Online
Patton was correct.
Roosevelt not.
As the old saying goes, the only place to find 'justice' is the dictionary, or the cemetery.
This worn out old story promoted by arm chair generals with 20/20 hindsight vision only makes sense to those who ignore the plain facts that have been omitted to make it seem feasible. It is one of those fantasies that get regurgitated over and over. So, here is what is being omitted.
At the time that Patton was promoting the continuation of the war in Europe with a confrontation with Russia, a battle was being fought in the Pacific. The meeting of the US and USSR armies at the Elbe River took place on the 25th of May. The battle for Okinawa had begun on the 1st of April and was just in it's finishing phase. Casualties at Okinawa were huge. Over 38,000 men were wounded and 12,000 were killed in action. Troops that Patton wanted to use to fight the Russians were needed to fight the Japanese. Even with these troops the military planners were counting on the Russians joining in the war against Japan and holding down and defeating the Japanese forces stretching from the Russian Chinese border to the sea. The ability of the Japanese to move those forces to mainland Japan to help defend against the American invasion would be a disaster that would drastically increase allied casualties and lengthen the war.
The atomic bomb did not exist. At the time of Patton's suggestions to continue the war in Europe with a war with Russia, the atomic bomb test at Trinity was months away. It would not come until July. Even those who knew about the Manhattan Project could only hope and speculate about it's success and how it would impact the war.
Patton had the fortunate position of only having to view the battlefield in front of him. He did not have to view or consider the big picture and worry about the battles others would have to fight.
1."This worn out old..."
I can see why those adjectives would spring to your imagination. You must hear them a lot, huh.
2. "...20/20 hindsight vision..."
It certainly brings into focus how correct Patton was about the communists and how totally wrong Roosevelt was.
3. "Troops that Patton wanted to use to fight the Russians were needed to fight the Japanese."
Because Stalin never lived up to his commitment to help fight the Japanese, tricking Roosevelt into using American resources.
Either Roosevelt was the dumbest President ever, or Stalin had embarrassing photos of him with a goat.
4. Tell me, what would Stalin have used to move his troops without America's Lend-Lease Program?????
A view of his mind-set: "Gorbachev starts out from completely different assumptions about the United States, and they color his whole view of how much accommodation Moscow can and should have with Washington. He believes the United States is an implacable foe.''...all the evidence suggests that the man sincerely believes these things,'' ... refused to accept Mr. Shultz's depiction of
the United States as a source of military hardware and other aid to the Soviet Union in World War II, belittling the lend-lease program."

a.
FDR gave Lend-Lease aid to Russia that superseded all Allied military needs- including American military needs. And this included postwar supplies that became Soviet Cold War supplies. And this included supplies that went into making an atomic bomb: chemicals, metals, minerals including uranium. Diana West, "American Betrayal," p. 42-43.
b. Half a million trucks and jeeps; $1 billion in ordinance and ammunition; thousands of fighter aircraft, bombers, and tanks; 13 million pair of winter boots; 1.7 million tons of petroleum products; a merchant fleeet; 1,000 steam locomotives; 581 naval vessels including minesweepers, landing crafts, submarine chasers, frigates, torpedo boats, floating dry docks, pontoon barges, river tugs and a light cruiser and the icebreakers that they used to bring 'slaves' to the Gulag Archipelago.

"Khrushchev Remembers," Life magazine, December 4, 1970
That's right....the Red Army would have been the equivalent of the Crips or the Bloods without American arms.....just another bunch of barbarians.
But a world power thanks to Franklin Roosevelt.

Not only are you an imbecile, but a disgusting boot-licker of tyrants and despots.
The battles that cost hundreds of thousands of US soldier's lives were due to FDR's pandering to Stalin.
On April 5, 1951, Judge Irving R. Kaufman sentenced the Rosenbergs to death for theft of atomic secrets, and, resulted in "the communist aggression in Korea, with the
resultant casualties exceeding 50,000 and who knows but that millions more of innocent people may pay the price of your treason."
Judge Kaufman s Sentencing Statement in the Rosenberg Case
a. It is clear today, based on archival evidence, unearthed by researchers in Russia and released in the United States, that Kaufman was correct. "Absent an atomic bomb,
Stalin would not have released Pyongyang's army to conquer the entire Korean peninsula. Confident that his possession of atomic weapons neutralized America's strategic advantage, Stalin was emboldened to unleash war in Korea in 1950." Haynes, Klehr, and
Vassiliev, "Spies: The Rise and Fall of the KGB in America," p. 143, 545. And Romerstein and Breindel,"The Venona Secrets," p. xv, 253.
b. It is important to connect the treachery with
the impact of that treachery: the theft of the nuclear technology with 36,940 Americans killed, 91,134 wounded, and 8,176 still missing, and this does not include at least two million civilian lives claimed on both sides. Bruce Cumings, "The Korean War: A History.' Included were 1.3 million South Korean casualties, including 400,000 dead. North Korea, 2 million casualties, and 900,000 Chinese soldiers killed.

FDR's insistence on the Soviet agents who infiltrated his administration resulted in the United States sabotage of Chaing Kai-Shek and the Nationalists in China in favor of the Mao and the Communists. From the book “Blacklisted From History,” by M. Stanton Evans:
Soviet agents in the U.S. State department (and Treasury)worked actively to damage confidence of our government, in the
(Nationalist) Chinesefighting in their own country, as our allies against the Japanese, and
in favor of the Communist unsurgency of Mao Tse-Tungand Chou En-Lai.
While Chiang Kai-Shek was busy as our ally fighting the Japanese, White, Currie, Coe, Glasser, and Hiss were doing all they could to undermine him in favor of Mao and the communists.
And Vietnam, an extension of FDR's action.
North Korea today, also due to FDR's malfeasance.
Patton has been proven correct.
And you...the usual apologist with blood on your hands.
