If you guys didn't support Soviet union in 40s...

You can go even farther back in time. If the US hadn't massively relieved the famine in Russia in 1920/21 there might have been a chance, Lenin and the Bolshevik regime wouldn't have survived.

I'm sorry but famine help is a good thing, not saving millions of people because it might potentially overthrow a government 'somehow' isn't a great plan.

One can argue FDR later embrace of Soviets was way to early and a direct stab in the back to France and other European powers.
