“admiring of the despot Josef Stalin”
Roosevelt had a complex relationship with Stalin. While FDR saw the necessity of cooperating with Stalin during World War II as part of the Allies' strategy against the Axis powers, it doesn't necessarily mean that he admired or endorsed Stalin's oppressive regime. In fact, FDR tried to promote democracy and human rights in his interactions with Stalin, but the geopolitical situation and the need for cooperation during the war sometimes forced him to make compromises. So, it would be an oversimplification to say that FDR was admiring of Stalin, given the complexities of their relationship during that time.
