He liberated the oppressed peoples of the world by bankrupting the evil British Empire. I wish all Americans were as great as him

Blunder in European history.

FDR was the greatest Soviet statesman ever

the worst president in the USA's history followed by Obama

It was Churchill who signed the Percentages agreement not FDR
>>
>>18328794
That didn't include Poland and Churchill managed to get Greece out of it at least. Big Fed just made ebic redditor joked about shooting 49000 German officers while ignoring Churchill pleading to help the London poles
Churchill was at fault too but he at least tried compared to a literally dying president who LITERALLY brought Soviet spies with him to Yalta
>>
>>18328797
Why does Poland matter more than the rest of eastern europe?
>>
>>18328877
Churchill literally went to war in the first place to save the poles (at least on paper) so he cared a lot about restoring them with elections, also because they were exiled in London
>>
>>18328896
Ok but that still doesn't explain why he arbitrarily values Poland more than every country in eastern europe.
Romania was also divided in the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact and had been a Western ally at the time of the war's outbreak, but Churchill had no problem selling them to the Soviets in the Percentages Agreement

>Ok but that still doesn't explain why he arbitrarily values Poland more than every country in eastern europe.
Why not? He declared war over it's invasion. It was literally his casus beli. He didn't go to war over Romania, he went to war over Poland. It's arbitrary, yes, but it's an explanation.
>>
>>18328918
I don't disagree. At the end of the day it just comes down to cynical power politics, not any kind of principled stance
>>
>>18328149
Brotherly welcome to comrade Roosevelt.

A noi!
>>
>>18328918
By the same logic you can't blame FDR for abandoning Poland then. His entrance in the war had nothing to do with the Poles, so he wasn't beholden to care about them any more than Churchill was to care about Romania
>>
>>18328918
>Why not?
that's not an answer, anon. the fate of an entire nation can't just be "why not"
>>
>>18328930
I do agree there. I blame FDR for being literally dying and refusing to step down by then and for all of the other retarded decisions that harmed American interests
>>18328931
Why not, as in, why wouldn't it be. Again, it was churchills hill to die on, one that he failed at, but it was his hill. Also the fate of many modern nations is basically "why not" but that's a different topic
>>18328929
Roosevelt and his staff actually modelled the new deal partly after Mussolini's corporatism. The truth is that most nations loved him until he invaded Ethiopia, seeing him as a strongman or whatever
>>
When you read Churchill's writings it's obvious he only valued a handful of countries (France, Poland, and America) that he arbitrarily judged to be in line with his philosemitic sensibilities.
FDR at least had a consistent worldview that big countries (America, USSR, and China) should fuck over small countries. He was overall a more impressive statesman than Churchill so it's not a surprise that his vision ended up winning out

probably not such a good idea, the bipoc world should have stayed in white european hands indefinitely

idk, Churchill thought FDR was an intellectual lightweight

very few people think this, everyone has nostalgia for his presidency and try to invoke the good times

War monger who is responsible for the rise of communism in Asia and the deaths of millions of people

>>18328877
The war started over Poland, and if we give this up then it means the Nazis were right and world jewry really did foment political strife and cause the war.
