It’s always been a good question.
Britian and France declared war on Germany for invading Poland but not on the USSR for doing the exact same thing.
Hear, hear, well spoken, Bruce!
Churchill’s “naughty document” on which he and Joseph Stalin carved up eastern Europe at the end of the Second World War was evil..
Good point... History often fails to remember, or even mention that the invasion of Poland was a joint aggression on behalf of Hitler and Stalin. In real time it was reported as thus... But after the war the ‘allies’ (which at this point included Stalin) decided to re-write that narrative.
Much in the same way that the term ‘National Socialist’ was ignored when referring to Hitler and his atrocities... Socialist don’t like being associated with Hitler, who was essentially a socialist at heart. Like most socialist he believed that government needed to control of the population, he believed in the nationalization of industry, in gun control, in abortion and eugenics... All concepts espoused by socialist.
Judgment at Nuremberg is an awesome film that every school child should watch... During the entire movie they refer to Nazi’s for what they original were... National Socialist.
