That was a do-or-die situation, i'm sad to say. If we didn't get the U.S.S.R. as an ally, the Axis Powers DEFINITELY would've taken over the planet Earth and you and I would be speaking German. Those were wartime circumstances of choosing the least of all evils to stop a world-wide pseudo-armageddon of fascism. And after the war, the U.S. was pretty aware of Stalin's sickness. But during WWII, it was tough to pick and choose your mates and only stick with folks without dirty laundry.
The Serbian massacres weren't about allies or World War, it was about ethnic cleansing and butchery.
I get your point and respect it, heck, even agree with it, but I think it's a touch of a different situation, that's all. It really boiled down to----who do you want to have as your enemy?----Nazi Germany with Japan and Italy OR the Soviets? Not an ideal choice of "friends!"

Yes. Just like when we chose to be silent and even outrightely deny Joseph Stalin's Ukraine holocaust when we needed a strong ally in Russia during World war 2.
