    Lol, anti communists will never forgive the USSR for not letting the Nazis have all of Eastern Europe.

        Your country fought on the side of the Nazis in WW2, and helped them carry out the scorched earth policy you absolutely won’t forgive the USSR for turning back.

          Not sure if we are supposed to agree with everything our countries have historically done. Are you from a place where you’re comfortable with doing that?

            The irony of an anticommunist saying this is palpable.

            Well well well. How quickly one goes from “they should have done everything perfectly and not even buying time is morally acceptable, deplorable stuff really” to “oh my god what’s a little Nazi collaboration between friends? Everyone was doing it anyway”

              We don’t know how it would’ve played out if both Western Allies and the USSR committed publicly to declaring war in case Poland is attacked.

                You’re expecting the USSR to have imperilled tens of millions of lives and risk wholesale extermination by deliberately undermining their own position based solely on “well, you know for sure!”

                  France and UK committed to it. I don’t expect the USSR to have done it, but I would’ve preferred to see that sort of larger deterrent.

                    The UK and France didn’t commit to jack shit. They had a long history of enabling the Nazis at that point, planning to use them as their attack dog in the east. Not only that, the USSR had been pleading for an anti-nazi alliance for a long time and got ignored.

                    Ok.

                    The USSR isn’t obligated to sabotage it’s own existence because some random unborn Finish person “would’ve preferred to see it”

                    Not to mention the UK and Frances commitment turned out to be extremely token, a fact that came as zero suprise to the USSR
