    This is the dumbest thing I’ve read today. Stalin’s USSR defeated the nazi onslaught, destroyed 75% of nazi batallions, while paying the greatest cost in blood to defeat fascism in ww2. The nazis began to be pushed back at stalingrad in 1942, which is why the west realized they needed to open up the western front, because europe would turn red if they didn’t.

        Poland was one annexing Czechoslovakia along with the Nazis, right?
        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_Agreement

        Soviets opposed it, but Britain and France acted as facilitators and ignored the Soviet call to create a united front against the Nazis.

        Well, after seeing how they ganged up on Czechoslovakia like that, it’s not surprising that the Soviets chose to not be the odd one out(markes as next target) and signed a non-aggression pact like those other countries.
