"Already in 1940 it became increasingly clear from month to
month that the plans of the men in the Kremlin were aimed at
the domination, and thus the destruction, of all of Europe. I
have already told the nation of the build-up of Soviet military
power in the East during a period when Germany had only a
few divisions in the provinces bordering Soviet Russia. Only a
blind person could fail to see that a military build-up of world-
historical dimensions was being carried out. And this was not
in order to protect something that was being threatened, but
rather to attack that which seemed incapable of defense..... I may say this today: .If
the wave of more than 20,000 tanks, hundreds of divisions, tens of thousands of
artillery pieces, along with more than 10,000 airplanes, had not been kept from
being set into motion against the Reich, all of Europe would have been lost.”

FDR RESCUES STALIN / EXTENDS MASSIVE MILITARY AID
With Stalin’s Evil Empire facing extinction at the hands of German forces, FDR
moves quickly to rescue the murderous regime. He unfreezes Soviet assets that had
been frozen after Stalin’s attack on Finland in 1939, enabling the Soviets to
immediately purchase 59 Fighter aircraft. The “Arsenal of Democracy” is now,
“The Arsenal of Communism.”
By 1945, the staggering amount of Lend-Lease deliveries to Stalin include 11,000
aircraft, 4,000 bombers, 400,000 trucks, 12,000 tanks and combat vehicles, 32,000
motorcycles, 13,000 locomotives and railway cars, 8,000 anti-aircraft cannons,
135.000 submachine guns, 300,000 tons of explosives, 40,000 field radios, 400
radar systems, 400,000 metal cutting machine tools, several million tons of food,
steel, other metals, oil and gasoline, chemicals etc. (31) Without this
ENORMOUS INFUSION of American aid, the Germans would probably
have finished off Stalin after the spring thaw of 1942.
