FDR offered to meet Stalin in Alaska without Churchill

[SocialDemocrat61]

On May 6, 1943, FDR had offered numerous options for a summit site in a letter to Stalin and concluded, "I suggest that we could meet either on your side or my side of Bering Straits." He said he wanted to meet Stalin one-on-one, with only one staff member and an interpreter, meaning without Churchill. FDR took pride in his powers of persuasion and thought he would do better with Stalin alone.

1. Russia was an ally, and we weren't at war with them like we are now

[SocialDemocrat61]

2. We're at war with Russia

haven’t seen anything about that on the news. Are our troops winning or losing?

3. The Cold War never really ended

4. Has anyone told Austin Powers?

5. No, the Republicans went around bragging we had won the Cold War. That didn't help matters.

That clip was very funny though

6. that is a tad misleading

given that the meeting alone would have been part of a three person summit.

8. No it's not

FDR went behind Churchill’s back and tried to arrange a private summit with Stalin in Alaska.

10. No it was a private meeting at a summit of all three

hardly praiseworthy but not what is going on here.

11. No it wasn't

Did you bother to read the article. FDR wanted to have a private summit with Stalin. It was only after Churchill found out that it became a summit of all three in Tehran.
