Before WWII

When Hitler attacked the Soviet Union, we decided to help through the Lend-Lease Act. Roosevelt said,"The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Russia is an enemy of Hitler. The U.S. is not a fan of Hitler either, so Russia was our friend. We wanted to help out Britain, even though we were trying to stay neutral. I didn't think we trusted the Soviet Union before WWII, now that i think of it. Before WWII, Stalin made a nonaggression pact with Hitler. The pact said that they wouldn't attack each other. Plus, we didn't trust Stalin because he wasn't a democracy, and what he called "communism," wasn't true communism. It was more like a harsh dictatorship.
