No, they were forced to recognize the reality on the ground. They didn't give Eastern Europe to Stalin, he had already taken it. So to say the decision made by the allies after WW2 is to blame is absurd.
>Buchannan thinks they chose poorly and that >claiming the eastern european countries were free since they >were under stalin and not hitler was ridiculous.
Have Buchannan and you never heard of Churchill's Iron Curtain speech? Try dealing with reality instead of blind ideology.
