    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".
