Just in the interest of keeping the historical record straight Madame, ‘’Uncle Joe’’(Stalin) was quite content to stroll down the garden path with Old Adolph, invading eastern Poland on 9/17/39, snapping up the Baltic states and invading Finland. That is of course until Hitler, being the gangster he was, decided he didn’t need a partner in crime anymore. Nazis and Communists. Two scorpions in a bottle.

I could not agree more. Suggested reading would be Stalin: The Court of the Red Czar (Montefiore). A more genuine and successful psychopathic monster you will not find, running a system from the depths of Hell. But as I have so far unsuccessfully tried to explain to Mr. Revolting Cat I was not at all defending Soviet conduct before, during, or after WWII. Only that they made very good use of women who could evidently shoot rather better than well. Somehow I thought that was related to the post.
