So Roosevelt and Britain, you know, America and Britain have done the right thing in helping their enemy's enemy is our friend kind of principle.

Yeah, yeah. So the United Nations, it's all the chat. But I mean, the Soviet Union invited to Bretton Woods, for example, which is this economic conference where they agree on the IMF and the World Bank and they declined to come. Of course. Of course they do.
