    Stalin killed thousands of Poles.

    Won’t anybody think of those poor innocent Germans Stalin killed?

    The USSR was at war with right-wing insurgents. If you want to go down a rabbithole, do some research on any “polish resistance”, 50% chance you’ll come across nazi collaboration, warcrimes directed at jews, or both.

      So, you’re saying Stalin should have turned down help from the Brits and Americans?

        What are we talking about? I’m just saying one of those leaders was not like the other.

          I’m talking about getting allies.

          If you’re saying Stalin was perfect, okay. He still got in bed with the US and England.

          Are you saying he shouldn’t have done that?

            lol Stalin wasn’t perfect, he did some awful things such as the internment or relocation of minorities in preparation for WWII and various advice/demands he gave to the CPC that was catastrophic.

            But to address your point, your enemy giving you equipment to help you fight another enemy doesn’t track to telling anyone telling the democrats that genocide is unpopular to shut up.

            If yall had helped us, the democrats might have listened and not have driven the bus off the cliff. If we had shut up, they absolutely would have driven off the cliff.
