Preface by Zhong Wen：Remembering the 80-year historic lesson of Roosevelt’s collusion with Stalin causing Communist disaster
— Roosevelt’s merits and faults ratio about 3:7, faults outweigh merits

Roosevelt mistook enemy for friend, colluded with Stalin

In 1943, when Hitler attacked Moscow, Roosevelt did not help Hitler eliminate Stalin. Instead, he confused friend and foe and made an alliance with Stalin. Roosevelt personally flew to the Soviet embassy in Iran to meet Stalin and formed an alliance to jointly eradicate anti-Communist Hitler. Not only did this save Hitler’s life, but it also greatly expanded Stalin’s influence, who swallowed up all of Eastern Europe. Stalin then turned to help Mao Zedong in the East, taking over mainland China and further expanding the Communist camp. Eighty years later, Xi Jinping still rules China as a Communist tyrant; Putin still dominates Russia; China, Russia, and North Korea have become a united front against the West.

Wilson sent U.S. troops to intervene in Russian Communist Revolution

In 1917, Lenin took advantage of the chaos of World War I to seize power and establish a Communist regime. U.S. President Wilson immediately sent 15,000 U.S. troops to intervene in Russia. After four years, the troops withdrew. The U.S. never recognized the Russian Communist regime.

Roosevelt ignored Stalin’s famine killing 8 million, then quickly established diplomatic relations

From 1932 to 1934, the Soviet Union experienced another great famine. Stalin forcibly collectivized farms, causing a man-made famine that killed 7-8.5 million people. The government forbade people from fleeing to survive. Roosevelt said nothing, did not condemn this injustice, and ignored it. On the contrary, in his first year as president, 1933, Roosevelt suddenly sought to establish diplomatic relations with Stalin. Stalin eagerly sent envoys to Washington and established relations in just 10 days. Stalin breathed a sigh of relief internationally, then proceeded with great purges and massacres domestically from 1937-1938, killing 700,000 and imprisoning 1.3 million. Roosevelt said nothing about Stalin’s brutal Communist atrocities, only focusing on anti-Communist Hitler, who had killed no one domestically.

Roosevelt and Stalin corresponded closely — 2,000 letters

During the two years of World War II, Roosevelt kept close contact with Stalin, exchanging 2,000 letters, most from Roosevelt. Churchill’s correspondence was fewer. Roosevelt was still thinking about Stalin until two hours before his death and instructed his assistant to write Stalin a letter, at which time Stalin had already turned on Roosevelt, accusing him of colluding with Hitler.

Always obliged Stalin’s requests, day and night — five convoys

During WWII, Roosevelt always fulfilled Stalin’s requests, day and night, sending five convoys to the Soviet Union carrying huge amounts of strategic supplies, including 14,795 aircraft, 7,000 tanks, 370,000 trucks, 3,000 locomotives, 11,000 railroad cars, 340,000 tons of explosives, and 2.6 million tons of gasoline — equivalent to all U.S. military supplies at the peak of the 1944 war effort. The total value was $1.1 billion then, equivalent to $1.5 trillion in 2014 dollars.

Excess weapons Stalin handed over to Mao

By war’s end, Stalin still had surplus supplies, which he sent to Mao Zedong to fight Chiang Kai-shek, erasing American factory markings and replacing them with Soviet marks.

Afraid to upset Stalin even as he massacred 200,000 Poles

During the Warsaw Uprising in 1944, Stalin deliberately halted Soviet troops at the outskirts, allowing German forces to crush Polish resistance unprepared. Some 200,000 Polish civilians were killed. Roosevelt coldly watched and did not intervene, fearing to upset Stalin.

Betrayed China by selling out Mongolia to Stalin behind Chiang Kai-shek’s back

At the Yalta Conference in 1945, Roosevelt betrayed Chinese leader Chiang Kai-shek, trading Outer Mongolia to the Soviets in exchange for Stalin’s promise to invade Northeast China and enter the war against Japan. Stalin gained Outer Mongolia and invaded and looted Northeast China, transferring large amounts of equipment to the USSR and raping Chinese women. At this time, the Japanese were ready to surrender; the Soviets helped Mao’s Communists occupy Northeast China and then attack Pingjin and the rest of the country.

Truman weak and easily bullied — allowed Stalin to blockade Berlin

In 1948, Stalin suddenly blockaded West Berlin to starve out U.S. forces and force withdrawal. Truman faithfully followed Roosevelt’s policy of “not upsetting Stalin”, ignored the pleas of the West Berlin artillery commander, escorted artillery with infantry, then broke the blockade with massive airlifts for nearly a year — one giant transport plane landing every minute, supplying West Berliners. This showed Truman’s weakness and allowed Stalin to bully.

Truman inherited Roosevelt’s legacy — did not resist Mao and lost China

Truman continued Roosevelt’s legacy, fantasizing about Nationalist -Communist cooperation. He forced Chiang Kai-shek to pause fighting for four months, allowing Mao’s Communist army to regroup, counterattack, and with Stalin’s Red Army help, capture Northeast China and then Pingjin. The fall of all China was rapid. Truman’s non-resistance lost mainland China and greatly expanded Stalin’s WWII victory.

Truman feared Stalin and Mao — removed MacArthur

After Stalin’s Berlin blockade revealed Truman’s weakness, Stalin approved Kim Il-sung’s attack on South Korea, aiming to wipe it out. The UN approved intervention by 16 countries; MacArthur’s forces pushed to the Yalu River. Truman panicked, fearing Soviet displeasure and World War III. He stopped MacArthur, replaced him, and recalled him to the U.S. MacArthur was welcomed by a million New Yorkers, humiliating Truman. Stalin was ready to receive Kim in Moscow as a guest. This strategic loss left Korea divided and destabilized, with Kim Jong-un’s ongoing interference — all Truman’s legacy.

Eisenhower allowed Soviet invasion of Hungary

In 1956, President Eisenhower did not support the Hungarian uprising, letting 100,000 Soviet troops suppress the rebellion. Without U.S. support, the uprising failed. 22,000 imprisoned, 26,000 arrested and tried, 200,000 fled to Europe and America, uprising leader Nagy executed. Eisenhower only wrote a letter of ‘shock” after the fact, demanding Soviet withdrawal — a hollow gesture. Eisenhower followed Roosevelt’s legacy, losing Hungary.

Nixon Secretly Visits Beijing to Bow to Mao and Presents Big Gifts

In 1972, under the circumstances that the U.S. and China had not yet formally established diplomatic relations, U.S. President Nixon secretly flew to Beijing to bow and pay respects to the ailing Mao Zedong, thereby saving the Communist tyrant Mao. From 1959 to 1962, Mao launched the Great Leap Forward, enforcing forced labor, confiscating grain, establishing communal dining halls, forcing people to eat thin soup from large pots, causing 50 million deaths from starvation. Even by 1972, the whole country still depended on ration tickets for food, and the population lived in a semi-starved state. Nixon never uttered a word condemning this man-made famine. Instead, he went to Beijing to offer warmth, under the guise of “uniting China to resist the Soviet Union.” Nixon gave Mao huge gifts: he expelled Chiang Kai-shek, helped Mao secure a seat in the United Nations Security Council with no cost, and promised the “One China” policy. This marginalized Taiwan, recognized the enemy as a friend, and made Taiwan a part of “One China.” From then on, Mao’s Communist regime repeatedly threatened to “unify Taiwan,” using both political and military pressure — all roots sown by Nixon executing Roosevelt’s pro-Communist tradition.

Bush Allowed Deng Xiaoping to Massacre 30,000 People

In 1989, U.S. President George H.W. Bush faced the patriotic movement of millions occupying Tiananmen Square in Beijing demanding democracy but remained silent. He allowed Deng Xiaoping to dispatch 200,000 troops and hundreds of tanks to slaughter 32,000 people overnight. Afterwards, Bush did not issue any statement of justice or condemnation. On the contrary, he sent secret envoys to make peace with Deng, enabling Deng to suppress the democratic movement fully. Democratic reform forces were wiped out, and dissidents forced into exile, banned from returning to China for 35 years.

Clinton’s 10 Years of Most-Favored-Nation Status Fattened the CCP — Turning Plowshares into Swords, Raising a Bull

In 2000, U.S. President Bill Clinton granted China most-favored-nation trade status. In 2001, China officially joined the World Trade Organization (WTO). Chinese goods flowed freely, and over 12 years, China made huge profits and rose to become the world’s second largest economy. By the time Xi Jinping took power, those plowshares had turned into swords aimed at the United States, with China vying for global hegemony.

‘the Hundred-Year Marathon” Reveals CCP’s Calculated Ambitions

In 2015, former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense Mike Pillsbury published ‘the Hundred-Year Marathon”, revealing China’s secret strategy to dominate the world by 2049. From Mao Zedong to Xi Jinping, the CCP’s stance has been firm, methods sophisticated, and ambitions grand. Meanwhile, the U.S. continues to misunderstand and fails to wake from its illusions.

Biden Let Xi Jinping Off the Hook for Millions of Pandemic Deaths

In 2019, Xi Jinping deliberately orchestrated a biological war, leaking the virus from the Wuhan lab and hiding the outbreak, rapidly spreading worldwide. Outside mainland China, one million Americans and four million Indians died over three years.

In 2021, President Biden promised a full investigation into the Wuhan virus, mobilizing the Department of Energy’s national supercomputers, with results expected in three months — the world cheered. But after three months, Biden silently dropped the matter, raising strong suspicion that Xi’s regime bribed Biden’s son, who does business in China, to hush it up. Otherwise, Xi would have been forced out amid domestic and international outcry.

Biden Let Xi Jinping Murder Li Keqiang

In 2022, Xi’s first term ended, and he was expected to step down. Reformist Premier Li Keqiang had the highest support and banners calling for Xi’s removal appeared in Beijing, waiting for U.S. backing. Biden instead protected Xi quietly, allowing Xi to secure re-election.

In 2023, Xi orchestrated the mysterious “drowning in the swimming pool” death of Li Keqiang to prevent his return to power. Biden only issued a brief statement of condolence. Biden’s continuous protection of the CCP tyrant Xi has enabled Xi to continue rampaging in China and the world.

Politicians Only Care About Votes, Not Historical Lessons

Politicians only see the immediate, competing for votes, ignoring history. They neither know nor mention lessons from decades ago. Out of sight, out of mind. Generation after generation repeats the surrender and appeasement of the Communist Party, letting it grow stronger while the people suffer and world peace is jeopardized.

Young People Don’t Learn History

Politicians are like this, and youths care even less about history. The number of young history learners is shrinking, and most don’t read history books. Very few have read ‘the Hundred-Year Marathon.”

Government Ignores or Does Not Utilize CCP Exiles

The government does not know how to use CCP exiles from China in its struggle against the Party. It only grants them freedom in the U.S. They know the CCP’s crimes best, having suffered the most. They deeply understand how to overthrow CCP rule, yet the government leaves them ignored, which is a great pity.
