The CGC seems to have taken the same view as Overstreet:
I dug up an old photo on the web of Stalin, Complete with the shock of white hair on the right temple.

Even then the Russians were no great friends of the US. As General George Patton said:
"We promised the Europeans freedom. It would be worse than dishonorable not to see they have it. This might mean war with the Russians, but what of it? They have no Air Force anymore, their gasoline and ammunition supplies are low. I've seen their miserable supply trains; mostly wagons drawn by beaten up old horses or oxen. I'll say this; the Third Army alone with very little help and with damned few casualties, could lick what is left of the Russians in six weeks. You mark my words. Don't ever forget them. Someday we will have to fight them and it will take six years and cost us six million lives."
Golden Age politics, fascinating!
