The Wiki shows — at the Battle of Stalingrad —

400,000 German troops
220,000 Italians
200,000 Hungarians
143,000 Romanians

This is what defines Russian thinking. Germany did not invade Russia. Europe invaded Russia. Tracing that back to what happened in Poland (and Romania and Hungary) in terms of whatever semi-revisionist details the modern foreign ministries want to present does not change those numbers above. Those are not token forces. That is the European Army the Soviets faced.

Deep scars on the Russian psyche. Not much different from the scars on the British psyche from German bombing.

Keep slinging your bs is almost as good as Putin’s!

Evil mass murderers Hitler and Stalin (that’s Russia for you idiots) carved up Poland between them like a Thanksgiving Turkey.

Stalinist Russia deserved Everything it got and more.

“Europe” didn’t invade Russia you twit, Russia invaded Europe with Hitler
and the rest of Europe and America eventually saved Russia’s butt. As did the Russians themselves.

You’re an idiot and that’s why Putin can have some of the folks here for lunch.

Boo boo “Europe” invaded poor innocent mass murdering Stalin.

Just incredible.

And that's what can happen when you team up with somebody like Hitler and invade a neighboring country.

And then it turns out Hitler isn't your friend after all.

Putin is going down the same path today. He is partnering with North Korea, China, and Iran.

The tyrants running those countries wouldn't think twice about attacking Russia if it was in their best interests.

The day that Xi decides he wants a chunk of Siberia he'll take it.
