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.
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”.
Stalin has done more damage to communism, and leftism in general than any other human in history. By betraying the Russian Revolution, and then claiming his regime was communist, he has given anti-communists everywhere the greatest gift ever: A counterexample.
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.

You have no idea what was in any of the other pacts lol
You certainly don’t.
“No u!”? Wow, fucking good one.
If I were wrong, you’d show a counterexample.
Sounds like he would do anything to buy time to build up an army that would go on to defeat the Nazis.

Fellow German communists? That could be Nazi spies?
Like wasting soldiers and ammunition to invade Finland, also giving the Nazis another ally in the process?
You’re blaming Finnish Nazis on Stalin lol?

What a removed thing to say.
