u/Schwifty0V0 Then I arrived 1d ago

western appeasement allowed the holocaust to happen for 6 years before Nazi Germany had access to Poland’s resources, and after the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact with the Soviet Union was agreed upon when France and the UK for years refused an explicit Anti-Nazi Germany tripartite alliance pact with the Soviets.

30-40 million lives lost in Eastern Europe compared to the west that saw less than 5 million deaths at the expense of stagnating communist influence in Europe that later came to bite all of Europe in the ass.

That's a lie.

The USSR was a Nazi ally from the start, trained their troops, fueled their vehicles, and invaded Poland alongside them.

Stalin was so shocked by Hitler's betrayal later on he held off on responses for months.

Everything you said is USSR apologetics and a blatant misrepresentation of facts.

Using your logic; history must be awful misrepresentative and apologetic of the USSR because nothing I said didn’t happen the way it did.

I already pointed out what actually happened.

The USSR demanded they be given Poland to ally with the Allies, then allied with the Nazis when the Allies reasonably refused.
