I have a similar feeling about the Russians.
I greatly admire the defense of their Motherland from the Nazi invader.
But as far as the government? Lest ye forget, that while the Nazis were rolling into Poland and France, the Low Countries and Norway, and bombing Britain, the Soviet Union was helping them with war supplies.
...indeed
and carving up Poland for their own personal gain, as well.
the russians calling the germans sneaky, and vice versa, is rich irony
Don't forget to mention Russia gobbling up the Baltic nations and fighting with the Nazis in Poland.
They also rolled into Poland, too. When the Soviets attacked Finland, Britain came close to declaring war against the Soviet Union as well.
