If I’m not mistaken, not only did the Red Army stop nearby and not try to help the Poles in Warsaw, but they halted their advance against the Germans for about 6 months. I’m not sure what rationale they gave. They were active further south during those months in the Balkans (they helped Tito drive the Germans out of Belgrade and forced Romania and Bulgaria to abandon their alliance with Germany).

The Russians had just completed Operation Bagration, perhaps the biggest and most successful offensive in history. So, they needed time to refit and reorganize.

However, why did they end the offensive just short of Warsaw instead of just past it? Why didn't they at least aid the Uprising? I think the consensus in the West is the main reason was because Stalin wanted the Polish Home Army to be smashed by the Germans. The Home Army took it's direction from the Government in Exile in London. Stalin wanted to cut that Government off and replace it with a Russian puppet. He succeeded.

And then Tito turned on the Soviets by going his own way with his brand of Communism. Tito was a bastard in his own right.

Biden didn’t run his campaign. He hid in the basement for months. It was his turn since he has run for president a couple of times. Kind of like Bob Dole. He is being led around on a leash by somebody.

I hope Biden is having a miserable day and and that Putin showed him everything he has. It must suck to be owned by both Russia and China.

Actually Stalin turned on Tito because Tito wasn't being subservient enough. In the early years after his victory Tito was doing his best to imitate the Soviet model but he wanted to industrialize Yugoslavia, not just be a source of raw materials for Soviet industry.

For several years after the 1948 split, Tito continued to pursue the hard-line Soviet policies wanting to show that he was a good Communist despite Stalin's propaganda, but by around 1952 he began to relax some policies and even though the regime continued to be a one-party dictatorship conditions were not as bad as in the other Eastern European countries, and citizens could leave.

“Stop sending people to kill me. We’ve already captured five of them, one of them with a bomb and another with a rifle. […] If you don’t stop sending killers, I’ll send one to Moscow, and I won’t have to send a second.”

Ironically, that's what Tito wanted to do with Albania, have them be a source of raw materials for Yugoslavia, which is why Hoxha, aligned with Stalin, and stayed a hardcore Stalinist for the rest of his reign (until 1985).

Biden/Obama/Deep State stole the election.
