I hope I am not the only one that is unhappy that we swapped Hitler for Stalin in Eastern Europe and the Baltic, when the West had it in it's power to do something about it. I think dealing with an angry Russia confined to its pre 1939 borders would have bee a much better prospect, than the whole cold war thing we got with the Warsaw Pact.
