    Indeed, but he still chose to fully recognize the soviet union, and was the driving force for intervention against fascists in (then) a very isolationist America. His commitment to the tripartite alliance was obviously concerning to most of the political establishment in the US at the time, which is why they were ever so relieved when he died.

      I mean yeah he definitely did not thought of USSR as an enemy. Still, he did nothing about it on a systemic level as evidenced by US actions after his death. And it was mostly irrelevant anyway, since logic of imperialism dictate otherwise, and end of WW2 brought with the one of the biggest changes ever, elevating USA to the top of imperialist order.
