    I mean, it had non-aggression pact right in the name. They did cooperate in splitting up Poland, but given the history, rhetoric and eventual actions of both sides you’d be hard pressed to seriously argue they were of a side.

      From Wikipedia

      with a secret protocol establishing Soviet and German spheres of influence across Eastern Europe.

      Yes, it was in the title, but what really mattered was the “you take this part, I take the other”.

      While both were planning to attack the other when the moment is right. Nazis were better at planning. What a surprise.

        Yeah, I did address Poland. The agreement fell apart before much more sphering could happen. I rest my case, basically.

        Nazis were better at planning. What a surprise.

        You know that was a disaster for them, right? The Soviets had their own clusterfucks going on, but they won and it wasn’t close.

        Is this a national pride thing for you? Why even go there otherwise?
