    He was never an ally to Nazis. That's ahistorical. He signed a non aggression pact, just like all the rest of the powers at the time.

    And he was the last one to do it, because he was begging the UK and France for an alliance against Germany.

    The agreement 🤝 also included dividing Europe into spheres of influence. Which makes the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact the only agreement on that list not between two axis powers that can be morally condemned without the benefit of hindsight.

    Sounds like he would do anything to buy time to build up an army that would go on to defeat the Nazis.

    Like wasting soldiers and ammunition to invade Finland, also giving the Nazis another ally in the process?

    Yes. Finland wouldn't have sided with the Nazis had Stalin not attacked them. Even more, the Soviet invasion of Finland shows that Stalin felt he could trust Hitler to honor the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. Stalin trusted only one person in the whole world, and that was Hitler. Almost like a tragic love story, if they weren't both credible contenders for the title of "Worst Human in History".

    This is completely ahistorical. The entire reason Stalin signed the treaty is because he knew Hitler would attack the USSR eventually, and they needed time to prepare and also didn’t want to fight a war on two fronts (because the red army was busy saving China from the Japanese).

    His only choice was to sign a treaty with Hitler, because Britain and France refused to become allies with Stalin. Britain and France thought it best to let the communists and fascists fight it out and hopefully destroy each other.

    Stalin signed a non aggression pact and then began rapidly industrializing his country, knowing dman well that Hitler would eventually break the treaty.

    Then Stalin defeated the Nazis.

    You went off on a tangent. My point was why he believed Hitler, not why he allied with him.

    By "divvy up Poland", you mean "soviet land that Poland took in the early 1920s", I'm sure.

    Your knowledge of history seems entirely non existent, besides "enemies of my capitalist imperialist genocidal empire are bad and have always been bad, despite literally saving the world from the Nazis"

    After having a secret pact with Hitler to split Europe. For countries like Poland the WW2 occupation didn't end until 1989, because USSR "saved us Nazis" by imposing their own regime.

    The reason why Russia doesn't even recognize WW2 and call it The Great Patriotic War that started in 1942 is exactly because Stalin worked with Nazis through Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and Hitler backstabbed Stalin via Operation Barbarossa.

    He also aided the Nazis in their fight against German communists and hurt China's revolution.

    So a flawed person like the rest of us.

    If you're an ahistorical imperial propaganda enjoyer, sure, I guess?

    Double genocide theory is literal fascist propaganda, which even has its own Wikipedia page, lmao.

    a term used to refer to the claim that the atrocities committed by the Soviet Union against Eastern Europeans constitute a genocide that was equivalent in scale and nature to the Holocaust, in which approximately six million Jews were systematically murdered by Nazi Germany. The theory first gained popularity in Lithuania after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991

    Scholars have criticized the double genocide theory as a form of Holocaust trivialization.

    And you're saying that that excess mortality is the same as the systematic genocide of over 10 million people by Nazi Germany? That makes you a Nazi apologist and a holocost trivializer. Very lib of you, lol.

    Lmao. To know someone as stupid as you thinks I'm a moron makes me immensely proud. Re read that double genocide theory page and understand that you are repeating literal historically documented fascist propaganda.
