Modern day Russia is not the USSR. Trump’s not saying anything good
no shit
he’s correct that people love japan and germany when they fucking suck. also most people don’t hate ww2 era japan enough for the horrible shit they were doing alongside the nazis. not that trump’s stupid ass was saying any of that, but it’s also not that deep. its a post on hexbear dot net’s chapo board. its really not meant to be a serious political statement
Yeah, that’s fair, I just don’t like giving it to him because he arrived at the right conclusion in the worst way possible. He says this while threatening BRICS with trade wars should they move away from the US dollar.
Literally the only perspective he’s coming from is the white ethnofascist angle which is fucking dumb because Putin and modern Russia are not as ethnonationalist as his brain is
i personally don’t think trump has ever come to a conclusion about anything. he’s completely empty and just says whatever is the most opportunistic thing in that moment, even when it directly contradicts something he just said prior.
It's still the side that upholds the tradition of the red armies, that paid pensions to old red army soldiers, that upkept memorials to soviet soldiers.
Compare that to what other post-soviet countries like Ukraine have done, tearing it all down and putting up a bunch of tacky Nazi-collaborator bullshit. Russia is still the moral superior to the west.
You don't have to be a liberal. You don't have to be like this. You have a chance to learn the actual sequence of historical events that led to 80% of Nazi deaths being at the hands of the USSR and the millions of people that joined it on the Easter . You could learn about all the attempts Stalin made to join forces with UK and France to tackle the fascism problem.
Or, you can continue being a BlueAnon redditor.
I died, this killed me, you are a murderer
this is historically illiterate dogwash and you should feel ashamed for having the political understanding of a goldfish as a human adult
Yeah that's why he begged the Western Allies to form an alliance prior to Molotov-Ribbentrop.
The Soviets and Nazis hated each other.
The instance won't be missed
Literally the other way around. The west wanted the USSR and Nazi Germany to be mutually destroyed so it could come in, kill off the communist state and do some picking clean of Germany. What happened was Hitler went west first instead of east, probably not the worst move considering as soon as he hit the USSR the western armies would have likely mobilized and invading western Europe would have been more difficult but it's the not the worst move in a losing strategy kind of thing.
Anyways this is why the US did some lend-lease (not free by the way, USSR paid for that stuff) to attempt to keep the USSR up in the fight longer because they didn't think they were as strong as they ended up being and wanted them to weaken Hitler for them.
Once the USSR started winning bricks started being shat. The US did not invade Normandy France and open up another front because they finally decided they had to get rid of this guy. They did it and pushed to Germany because they didn't want the Soviets liberating all of capitalist Europe. They feared this. Many of those countries would have democratically voted for socialism after the actions of their socialist resistance and because of the way things were going before then.
What does the US do after the war? Show they never hated the Nazis. Install them into prominent positions in NATO, Western German government, etc. Bring them over to the US via paperclip. They launch Gladio, sponsor a military coup in Greece to kill leftists and communists, suppress communist and socialist movements for decades in those countries the US "liberated".
Oh boy. I’m looking forward to seeing the 65 comment thread in response to this.
What a pure wikipedia education does to a mf
M-R was after the publication of Mein Kampf. Hitler had been openly saying he planned to murder the soviets - all of them - for years by the time of the pact. Why, do you think, were the Soviets willing to sign it anyway? Why wasn't there an anti-nazi alliance at the time of M-R? Who else signed treaties with the Nazis and in what order? There's some fascinating history in the lead up to WWII but you have to be willing to actually look into it rather than just looking for excuses to trash talk the USSR.
My favorite summary of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact is "Stalin saying 'nice doggie, nice doggie' while reaching for a stick."
He actually picked the side that unfortunately lost. The fascists never lost power in the west.
you are so fucking wrong that if you had any knowledge of how wrong you were you'd feel such a singularity of embarrassment over this post that you would delete not just this account, but every account you have ever had anywhere
you stupid? You forgot the Spanish Civil War? The previous pacts Europe and Britain did (read the Sudetenland Munich Pact of 1938 and the Polish-German 'peace' pact 1934)
Not to mention, this?

You want to do double genocide theory, don't ya?
I'd call this projection but I'm sure you're too ignorant of the actual history to be guilty of that
holy shit it's amazing a person can be so utterly, pathetically wrong about a subject they obviously know nothing about.
it's like you sought out pure, distilled bullshit. I mean the blackest, gooiest, smelliest, steaming pile of it and just dug in with the biggest spoon you could find
just moaning and rolling around in your own filth, sucking down that shit, rubbing it in your hair
Take your illiterate stupidity back to
already
Imma just leave this here.
Hakim isn't wrong but he has a pretty snooty tone and I always think about how that and his Lenin-face avatar are gonna turn any lib away before he even really gets into his point. I wonder if there's a better video talking about this subject to share with people who are politically misguided and/or unaware.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

idiot
Fucking dumbarse can’t respond when shown how much of a fucking dumbarse they are
Yet Russia is still crushing nazis while other members of the USSR, namely Ukraine and the Baltics, are very clear about wishing they had fought on the other side.
Don't take this from us.
They side with the Global South.
I think the tittle means good = logicaly coherent, not good = moraly/rethoricaly good for us. I think you know this and/or could have understood this from the context.
It’s logically coherent if you are a moron
Comes with the territory of most people on this server I guess.
I'll take it if it leads to some kind of rapprochement between nuclear powers rather than the steady march towards nuclear destruction that the democrats seem intent on
