[From article]
FDR normalized relations with the Red monster-regime early in his first term. In exchange, the U.S. received Soviet pledges, including that the USSR would not support organizations or groups aimed at the overthrow of "the political or social order of the United States." In other words, the Soviet Union pledged not to wage a secret intelligence war against us.
But such a war was already underway. Post-recognition, this Soviet war on America, spearheaded by traitors directed by Moscow, would intensify. A veritable army of Stalin's secret agents, agents of influence, fellow travelers and dupes entered the U.S. government and related institutions. They would fight an unceasing stealth war against this country, even -- I should say, especially -- during World War II. Much to the executive branch's consternation, the House and Senate would do much to expose this stealth Soviet war in the House Un-American Activities Committee and other committees.
[. . .]
In other words, ignoring, or even tolerating, the millions of people Stalin killed became a prerequisite to recognition -- the "unprincipled deal with totalitarianism," as Solzhenitsyn would call it in 1975. "In 1933 and 1941 your leaders and the whole Western world made an unprincipled deal with totalitarianism. We will have to pay for this; someday it will come back to haunt us. For thirty years we have been paying for it," the sage and courageous author of "The Gulag Archipelago" said. "And we're going to pay for it in an even worse way in the future."
It's time we try to understand what he meant.
