    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.

      Because what you think they “should” have done is completely fucking irrelevant to the objective stone fact that the western allies did make those deals. That was the material reality the USSR had to content with, not your fantasy world that you keep bringing up despite the fact that no-one asked, presumably just to waste time. Shut the fuck up about what you think the western allies “should” have done: we are talking about the actual world.

      I’d say that’s all around pretty objectionable.

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

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

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