THE PROPER APPROACH TO WWII WOULD HAVE BEEN TO WHTHHOLD RESOURCES FROM STALIN

 Choke to death Soviet agent Harry Hopkins, 

Let Hltler overrun Russia to the Urals, 

then gone in and finished Hltler off,

and keep the European Empires in place 

as they had stood at the turn of the century.

As Kennan said around 1960, the Austro-Hungarian Empire had been better than anything that replaced it. 

That remains quite true.
