I'm very well aware of Stalin starving those Ukrainians to death. nd replacing them with train loads of Russians. Those are the ancestors of todays Russian speaking Ukrainians.
I don't condone mistreating anyone, but it helps to understand all the conflict with Russian speaking Ukrainians
As for FDR supporting the USSR. Nazi Germany was an unstoppable Jernagan. It was miles from Moscow. It was in Lini grad and Stalingrad.. Germany was after The USSR's natural recourses. Especially oil.
The Afrika Corps wasn't in North Arica so they could tour the Pyramids. They wanted the Suez Canal and Libya and Algeria's oil.
FDR knew he had to arm the USSR to prevent Hitler from winning the War.
Anzio, Salerno, Omaha, Utah, Juno & Sword beaches were tough enough. Think about what they had been like if Hittler only had occupation forces, in the USSR and therest of his forces faced to the West..
I don't remember Patton saying we were fighting the wrong enemy. I do remember him saying that after we beat Hitler, we should rearm the German Army and point them East,
