I should have probably said Soviet empire or whatever. Obviously I meant the aggressive expansion and funsie deals with nazies so they both get to commit their own little genocides
The Red Army stopped the Holocaust and saved the world from fascism while the western powers were playing with their dicks in Africa. They only invaded France after it became clear that Soviet victory was inevitable in order to prevent Western Europe from being liberated from capitalism.
Just because soviets did 1 right thing after nazis stabbed them in the back, doesn’t make them the good guys. Somehow you forgot to mention that soviet rapearmy also illegally occupied all the territory they passed on the way to Berlin
That said, I’ll leave you with a quote from Thomas Mann,
To place Russian communism on the same moral level with Nazi fascism, because both are totalitarian, is, at best, superficial, in the worse case it is fascism. He who insists on this equality may be a democrat; in truth and in his heart, he is already a fascist, and will surely fight fascism with insincerity and appearance, but with complete hatred only communism.
USSR and Nazi Germany only made a nonaggression act after other Western countries did because Western powers purposefully did not invite the USSR. It was a way to try to protect Czechslovakia and Poland since the Westerns were simply giving up Central Europe to the Nazis. You can read more about it here.
The famine in the USSR was not a genocide. That is Nazi propaganda. Read about it here.
Even if you exclude holomodor, to quickly quote wikipedia, even soviet leaders agreed that Stalin was committing genocide
“On 26 April 1991 the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Socialist Federal Soviet Republic, under its chairman Boris Yeltsin, passed the law On the Rehabilitation of Repressed Peoples with Article 2 denouncing all mass deportations as “Stalin’s policy of defamation and genocide.””
And how exactly were they “protecting Poland”? Sticking it in the mouth while Adolf was grinding the rear?
The USSR entered Poland to protects its borders the day after every official fled and abandoned the country. There was no longer a Poland in any sense. The USSR is the one that liberated and reestablished Poland. How do you not know the basic facts of something you’re talking about holy shit
Putte is a Swedish name that is commonly used to talk down to a person, calling them small, it is similar to Putin, and I like insulting dickheads with imperial dreams.
As for the “illegal” dissolution of the Soviet Union, that is a different discussion and happened 22 years before the invasion of Crimea, and can’t be used as an excuse for the invasion in any rational argument based in reality.
“I contribute nothing to the conversation. After decades of festering in poverty and a perverse environment, and seeing how others are wealthier, smarter, better looking, and overall better people than me, I have become so jaded that I serve merely as a refined vessel of snark and pessimism.”
Putte? Is this some language thing or an infantile baby name a la Putler?
The roots of the conflict lie in the illegal dissolution of the Soviet Union
The remnants of your alcohol diluted brains lie in the Soviet Union. The dissolution of USSR was not illegal, the formation of it was.
lmao are you arguing that the October Revolution was illegal

way to commit holocaust denial and fascism apologia in one go.
Bro what are you smoking?
I don’t smoke because it’s bad for my lungs.
That said, I’ll leave you with a quote from Thomas Mann,
I think you failed to read both the text you’re quoting, and the comment you’re answering to
you’re sounding pretty totalitarian right now with how you’re pretzel twisting words to try and fit your fascist agenda
You’re wrong on two key points:
USSR and Nazi Germany only made a nonaggression act after other Western countries did because Western powers purposefully did not invite the USSR. It was a way to try to protect Czechslovakia and Poland since the Westerns were simply giving up Central Europe to the Nazis. You can read more about it here.

you’re thinking of the Munich Agreement mate
Ah yes that was the agreement between soviets and nazis yes? Way to act dumb
Putte is a Swedish name that is commonly used to talk down to a person, calling them small, it is similar to Putin, and I like insulting dickheads with imperial dreams.

So it’s both, got it.
It’s not an excuse, it’s a cause. It causes regional instability that eventually results in a civil war in 2013 that escalates further in 2022
Oh, the irony
Pop quiz, what is the largest country in the world by geographical size?
“Imperialism is when you own land, I am very smart.”
Ooh! I like this game! Let me try:
“I contribute nothing to the conversation. After decades of festering in poverty and a perverse environment, and seeing how others are wealthier, smarter, better looking, and overall better people than me, I have become so jaded that I serve merely as a refined vessel of snark and pessimism.”
Whoa a fascist with an inflated opinion of themselves? No way!
