Stalin Sees No Real War Danger and Aims for Peace
Stalin states he sees no real danger of a new war and expects long friendly collaboration with Western democracies. He warns the US monopolizes atomic weapons but says such possession won’t endure and cannot win wars with bombs. He rejects using Germany against the West or US and calls for demilitarization and democratization of Germany. He notes Potsdam and mutual aid pacts prevent German aggression and affirms Moscow does not dictate communist party policies in other nations.
