sounds awfully familiar to the soviet constitution under joseph stalin but here is what i mean.ocrats on policies that are impractical and possible but sound great. where do they get this idea? i'm looking at the 1936 constitution of the soviet union adopted in december of that year. in other words stalin's constitution and they want to redo a few things from this and tell me if it sounds familiar to what the democrats, biden, the senate candidates and so forth have been running on and this 110 page manifesto. let's see if there is any similarities. article 118 and stalin's constitution, citizens of the ussr have the right to work, that is are guaranteed the right to employment and payment for their work in accordance with its quantity and quality. the right to work is insured by the socialist organization of the national economy and a steady growth of the productive forces of soviet society and the elimination of the possibility of economic crises and the abolition of unemployment. sound familiar aoc? article 119, citizens of the ussr have the right to rest and leisure in the r

and it was a constant effort to republicans in and explain to them they could no more appease joseph stalin's designs on central and western europe then chamberlain had appease hitler's design on the same way earlier. so the way that follows the history of the mentor. , the republicans after riverside in 1919 woodrow wilson came back and try to get the united states involved in the league of nations. here very contentious negotiations with the senate with henry cabot lodge another isolationist to refuse to follow wilson's efforts to get the united states involved in the league of nations. the country retreated back into a fortress america mentality which allowed adolf hitler to build his strength and oil september 1st, 1939 world war ii began and we know the consequences of that. so one of the reasons i go into such a great detail on the legislative efforts with truman's because he showed how to do it and by surrounding himself with the best and the brightest of his time. the wisemen as walter isaacson called them. and he was the organizer the victory of world war ii and the undersecretary of

joseph stalin negotiated a treaty of nonaggression with adolf hitler while promising each other piece of the soviet in german foreign ministers molotov and ribbentrop realign the map of eastern europe splitting it into german and soviet spheres of influence. no sooner had the molotov ribbentrop pact been signed then poland was split and in september of 1939 eastern poland awoke to be western ukraine and a part of the family of soviet republics and the u.s.s.r. . but even this bold dividing of lands and nations only delayed the inevitable germany broke its promise to the u.s.s.r. . on june 22nd 1941 germany invaded the u.s.s.r. launching barbara rossa the largest military operation in world history. barbara was aiming for st petersburg moscow and kiev ukraine 3 destinations of major significance. ukraine with its rich lands in resources was an important industrial and economic source for the u.s.s.r. to cut it off from the soviet union would strike a big blow indeed. for most of the soviet union the 2nd world war was about fighting the invaders of their land. but it wasn't quite so sim

basically said the greek government, they are no angels but given the choice between them and joseph stalin we really have no choice at all and it was a foreshadowing of a lot of decisions that american presidents made over four five decades of the cold war. you never have a decision between good and bad. you have to choose the least of the two bad decisions and that is what truman had to do in 1947 and whether you look at the truman doctrine or the marshall plan or nato he made the right decision time and time again in the years following world war ii. >> one of the things that is so poignant about harry truman is the extent to which his great achievements get over shown by other people. we talked so little about the truman doctrine and the marshall plan, but as your book shows you never get what the marshall plan like the truman doctrine. the grace with which truman let marshall on that victory comes through really sweetly in your book. that sets up the coming confrontation they have over the state of israel. >> i am so glad you brought that up because even though i spent most of my lifet

this is joseph stolen and mueller talk -- joseph stalin, and molotov. the commissioner of foreign affairs. they are pictured here. they are waiting for fdr and churchill before the famous photograph was taken. the picture i started this presentation with. that would be 20 minutes before, they are waiting in the court of the palace. that is president roosevelt after landing at the airfield in crimea. you see that he is tired. you see that he is sick. you can see here that he does not have much time. that photo, in my opinion, also stresses the point i try to make a few minutes ago about who needed whom and the kind of sacrifice that fdr, went risks he was prepared to take. he left his will, actually. he told his son where his will was when he decided to go to yalta. let's be more specific. what's exactly fdr wants in needs, why he goes there. at the very top of his agenda is the creation of what became as united nations. so it's a creation of a new world order, liberal institutions. the world where there is no spheres of influence. the world which would
