    You know France and England signed some pacts with the Nazis is the lead up to the Soviets making a deal with the devil, right? And the Soviets knew the nazis were always going to invade them, because they literally just knew about what the Nazis were publicly stating they’d like to do.

      I’m assuming you’re talking about the Munich pact? Yeah it might’ve been a mistake but the allies needed time to build up. I suspect that the soviets would’ve invaded Germany if they hadn’t been attacked first.

        In order to attack Germany, right?

        This is good.

        It seems like all the major allied powers wanted to build up to attack Germany. The only difference was the Soviets saw fascism as an existential threat and the other major allied powers saw them as potential competition.

        the [western] allies needed time to build up.

        No, they didn’t, unlike the Soviets who were dramatically less developed on account of starting from a war-torn semi-feudal backwater.

        I suspect that the soviets would’ve invaded Germany if they hadn’t been attacked first.

        What’s your point in even mentioning this? To demonstrate that you know that they weren’t allies? Invading Nazi Germany is a good thing to do! Especially in the case of a Slavic country that would be subjected to genocide (as the USSR, like Poland, historically was) if they just waited for the Nazis to invade!
