      You don’t understand the Treaty of Non-Aggression between Germany and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics at all if you think it was an alliance between the Soviets and Nazis. It was a delay tactic and a defense on part of the soviets who btw were the last to sign a non-aggression agreement with the Nazis. The order of non-aggression pacts is as follows; France, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, and the Soviet Union. There is also the Munich agreement in 1938 which came before all of these between Britain, France, Germany, and Italy that effectively functioned as a non-aggression agreement. Do you know nothing of what led up to WW2?

          I am well aware and I will reiterate what I said to the other person who mentioned this. Would you have preferred Nazi Germany take all of Poland? That was effectively the only other option and have never understood this argument because of it.

            „Your honour, I only helped the evil guy to rob this bank to make sure he gets only half of the money….“

            Two evil dictatorships conspired together for their own gain and one betrayed the other before the other could do it first. It’s as simple as that.

              “It’s as simple as” should almost never be used when discussing history. Especially geopolitical history. The actions of nation states are one of the least simplistic parts of history and your belief that they are is indicative of your lack of investigation. I encourage you nourish an understanding of historical developments beyond that of a child. The duality of good and evil should be entirely irrelevant and should not even be mentioned in this sort of discussion.

                Sure! Want to tell me about the trade agreement between the two nations then, Mr. Smart history guy? Or about the thing with Finland?

                Arguing with you tankies is just such a waste of time.

                  I don’t want to have to tell you anything. I want you to read books and rigorously investigate their sources so that you can have an informed understanding not just on history but on present day events. Me telling you anything won’t help because if you have already dismissed or characterized me as a political adversary. I am unwilling to waste my time on that.

        France, Denmark, Latvia and Estonia’s non-aggression pacts did not include secret protocols to partition Poland.
