  • I mean they did make those deals, Soviet Union made the deals, I think it was all shit.

    So basically your argument is that 100 million lives aren’t valuable enough to be pragmatic about

    Pragmatism from all sides when dealing with Nazis is what caused the situation to get that far tbqh




  • The German invasion began on 1 September 1939, one week after the signing of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact between Germany and the Soviet Union, and one day after the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union had approved the pact.

    I wonder what you think the pact is talking about if not the invasion that happened right after.




  • I mean clearly not. They could’ve continued on from Poland, but went to West first and then to South. Without Molotov-Ribbentrop, not sure if that would’ve been different other than Hitler being (even) less confident about the non-aggression between them. But it’s what ifs.


  • You don’t have to have formal pact or alliance in place to pledge to declare war in case of another country is invaded. You don’t have to have an agreement in place to share intelligence to them, such as the secret protocols or about the negotiations, etc etc. They could’ve done more.

    Goebbels even tried to blame one such massacre on the Red Army, Katyn, despite the spent ammunition clearly being marked as produced by Nazi Germany in 1941.

    Oof. Soviet Union already admitted to Katyn massacre. Time to let this conspiracy theory go.



  • I’m not sure why people think it’s either or when I’ve been very clearly saying that neither should’ve been making the deals. West made deals that damn them, but stopped at Poland. Soviet Union was put in a shitty position but also they agreed to carve up Poland alongside Nazi Germany. I’d say that’s all around pretty objectionable.
