Anticommunists never stop rewriting history to make the nazis look less bad

Because Stalin didn’t invade Poland and the Baltic states, right? And he didn’t sign agreements with hitler before the war?

Oh oh let me guess, they were “saving them from Nazis”! Now where have I heard that before…

The west constantly uses the memory of appeasement to justify its killings today but back when it was happening Stalin tried to start the war when Hitler could be easily crushed. It's only after the west decided they would rather use the nazis to kill the communists than prevent the holocaust that deal was made.

What are you even talking about? Hitler attacked the Soviets, not the other way around. And it was because they broke their agreement and took territory that they said they wouldn’t.

Appeasement isn’t even relevant in this context, so not sure what you mean by that.

"made a deal with Hitler"

What the fuck do you think appeasement was?

In the context of WW2 appeasement refers to Britain and the rest of Europe giving pieces of Czechoslovakia to Germany. Not a deal between the Soviets and Germany to carve up Eastern Europe.

It’s ok keep working on your English!
