I think that if I give him everything I possibly can and ask nothing from him in return, noblesse oblige, he won’t try to annex anything and will work with me for a world of democracy and peace.”
Bullitt tried to tell FDR that there was no “factual evidence” that Stalin was a good man. FDR, however, saw Stalin as a “kind” man, a gentleman, one he could work with to advance democracy and peace. The president shook off Bullitt: “It’s my responsibility, not yours.”
FDR’s hagiographers try to excuse his decisions at Yalta, but the hard truth is that FDR himself immediately conceded he had failed. He knew Stalin had exploited him. “I didn’t say the result [at Yalta] was good,” FDR told close adviser Adolf Berle when he returned home. “I said it was the best I could do.” He said the same thing to Admiral Bill Leahy. And he told Anna Rosenberg on March 23, 1945: “Averell [Harriman] is right. We can’t do business with Stalin. He has broken every one of the promises he made at Yalta.”
Yep, that quick.
In a letter to Stalin on April 1, 1945, FDR lamented to the abject tyrant: “I cannot conceal from you the concern with which I view the development of events of mutual interest since our fruitful meeting at Yalta.”
Stalin surely chortled at that one. What was done was done. And FDR was done, too. He died mere days later.
