Roosevelt Fed Stalin and Made Him Smile

II. Roosevelt’s Complicity in a Dirty Alliance

After Nazi Germany launched its treacherous surprise attack on its partner, the Soviet Union, in June 1941 — turning on its accomplice — Roosevelt immediately, in August, sent the first batch of free supplies to the Soviet thieves who had previously colluded with the Nazis to carve up Poland! Was this a payoff for bribes Stalin had given him?

The scale of American aid is detailed in the Russian government newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta’s online publication Russia Beyond, and has been documented by many historians, including American policy analyst Albert L. Weeks in his 2004 book Russia’s Life-Saver: Lend-Lease Aid to the USSR in World War II.

The final statistics show that the United States delivered the following equipment to its ally, Russia:
– 400,000 jeeps and trucks
– 14,000 airplanes
– 8,000 tractors
– 13,000 tanks

In addition, the following supplies were provided:
– Over 1.5 million blankets
– 15 million pairs of military boots
– 177,000 tons of cotton
– 2.7 million tons of petroleum products (used as fuel for airplanes, trucks, and tanks)
– 4.5 million tons of food

The Americans also supplied firearms, ammunition, explosives, copper, steel, and aluminum materials, medical supplies, field radios, radar equipment, books, and other items. The U.S. even relocated an entire tire factory of the Ford Company, which manufactured military tires, to the Soviet Union.

From 1941 to 1945, the United States provided the Soviet Union with $11.3 billion worth of materials and services, equivalent to $180 billion in 2016 dollars.

In November 1941, Soviet butcher Joseph Stalin wrote to Roosevelt: “Mr. President, the Soviet government gratefully accepts your decision to provide the Soviet Union with one billion dollars in interest-free credit for materials and supplies, which is urgently needed assistance in the arduous and heroic struggle against our common enemy — the murderous Hitlerism.”

Stalin, this monstrous killer, played the victim in front of America. In reality, his bloodlust far exceeded Hitler’s by at least tenfold. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to “defeat Hitler.” During the Tehran Conference in December 1943, at a dinner with the Allied leaders, Stalin even toasted, saying, “America …… is a land of machines. Without using the machines obtained through Lend-Lease, we would have lost this war.” Indeed, if it weren’t for Roosevelt’s help, the Soviet people would have been free long ago!

Nikita Khrushchev, who led the Soviet Union from 1953 to 1964, wrote in his memoirs about how Stalin emphasized the crucial role of Lend-Lease aid: “He said bluntly that if America had not helped us, we would not have won the war.” Khrushchev himself fully agreed with Stalin’s assessment.

Indeed, if Roosevelt had not “generously spent the nation’s resources in return for Stalin’s bribes,” the Soviet Union would have collapsed fifty years earlier!

Zhong Wen remarked: Stalin laughed heartily, saying it’s useless — he scraped off the original factory marks from the weapons, replaced them with Soviet markings, and sent them to Mao Zedong for the civil war. Mao’s four-year civil war killed millions of Chinese people, enabling him to seize mainland China as a tribute to the Soviet Union. Then, successive political campaigns killed, harmed, starved, forced to abort, and oppressed three to four hundred million Chinese!
