Is it really dramatic? Then just put it in the main feed.
Is it chuddy? (Be honest.) Then /h/chudrama.
Is it from back in old boomer times or before?
This is the place for it.
Feel free to talk about history here at

The UK, France, Germany, and Poland were all against the USSR so how exactly would Stalin have managed to take over Europe if all those were working together against him? It's because Germany invaded everybody else first that Stalin got the chance to eventually take such a big part of Eastern and Central Europe.

Germany did not want war with their western neighbors. France and uk declared war on germany. Nazis did lots of bad things but you cant blame them for communism spreading to eastern europe. That is the fault of the nations that gave the soviets the weapons and materials to resist and ultimately defeat the nazis. The allies should have just let them fight until the USSR was dissolved or once hitler killed himself, nuke moscow, and liberate the rest of europe. Hindsight is 20/20. The other thing that makes that calculation hard at the time is the US being isolationist. I dont think the nazis winning would really be all that bad anyway (unless you are jewish and prefer to not be ash). Spain was fascist until the 70s and they were fine. Japan was the actual evil empire at the time.

Hitler knew, when he invaded Poland, that France and the UK had pledged themselves to defend Poland against a German attack so it's not like it was a surprise. It's hard to blame France and the UK from viewing an expansionist Germany as a bigger threat than the USSR. Germany had been their recent enemy in the largest war in human history up to that point, was much closer geographically to them than the USSR, and its economy was actually equal to the USSR's in GDP terms. Hitler could probably have formed an anti-Soviet block with France, the UK, and Poland if his main goal had really been to defeat communism. Instead he invaded Poland and then rejected the France/UK ultimatum of "withdraw or we declare war" that came soon afterward.

I dont really blame them for declaring war on germany with the information they had. I blame them for helping the soviets though.
Do you really think france and uk and poland would have been open to steamrolling the ussr with germany? I dont. Maybe they would have gone for a defensive pact but nazis wanted to wipe out ussr and expand into eastern europe not defend themselves.

It's obvious in hindsight that Germany was doomed given the resource and nuclear weapons research advantage of the Western allies but look at it from the perspective of 1941 with France occupied, the UK getting bombed, and the US only starting to seriously help. At that point helping the USSR was an obvious thing to do. And even afterward once Germany started to obviously lose, helping the USSR still likely let the Western Allies save huge numbers of lives of their own soldiers at the cost of just shipping the USSR some stuff.

I think between stalinism and nazis, nazis are the lesser evil. Do you think mao wins china if the soviets collapse in 43?

I have enough hatred for both. This is America, the land of plenty. One need not ration their hate for other, inferior ways of life.

You don't understand: the USSR was not real communism, but British colonial control of India was real capitalism.

This was the result of a gentlemanly contest between Ioseb and Winston in which Stalin personally curbstomped 10 gorrlion Ukranians and Churchill bayonetted everybody in East India, Bangladesh, and West Bengal (also 10 gorillion)

Probably not, but there's a good chance of Hitler genociding millions of Slavs if the he wins the war.

Before Molotov-Ribbentrop there were like two Bolshevik countries, the USSR and Mongolia
. After the Nazis stopped communism the first time (by allying with them) half a dozen anti-communist countries got absorbed into the USSR 
. After the Nazis stopped communism the second time (by launching a poorly-planned invasion) there would be a dozen more (including half of Germany) and communism would reach its peak over the following decades 
.
Good work, Nazis
