Roosevelt and his horse-faced dyke of a wife were both not so closet communists. Edited to add, then again so are ALL members of the democrap party...

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

More like Stalin's B-otch! FDR swallowed Stalin's BS hook, line, and sinker. And more to the point though, for a gazillion reasons, we couldn't have fought the Sov's after the war. Almost no one would support that which is kinda sad. For Eastern Europe we traded one sociopath for an only slightly more stable sociopath. I thought we were there to liberate Europe, but apparently only parts of Europe. Sad. And it became the American tradition - most of US presidents believed soviet leaders. But for the communists the main goal and doctrine is the global revolution and for that goal it is acceptable to lie, cheat, steal and kill - the end justifies the means. Winston Churchill knew what they were up to - and so did Ronadl Reagan and Margaret Thatcher - but those were just few.
The brain is a wonderful organ. It starts the moment you get up and doesn't stop untill you get into the office.

I think that was the case up to Brezhnev, or at least toward the end of his reign, but then came Andropov who would have returned to much of Stalinism if he could; certainly the world socialism part. Honestly I think Andropov scared the hell out of everyone. The weird part was Andropov asked to have Gorbachev succeed him; and we know Gorbachev took the country in a completely different direction. After Andropov the Soviet Union finally came to the realization that their quest for world socialism was unsustainable, and they had to deal with their own internal issues. Problem was, by that time it was too late.
