          Fascists are nationalists. Fascists from different nations fighting each other isn’t really infighting, that’s just like, regular fighting.

          Not something we should be fueling at any rate. Heaven forbid anyone asks about a peace plan that isn’t total victory, though.

            Yeah it’s tough to find a compromise when Russia seems to go for the total victory or at least a settlement of gains and Ukraine hopes for a stalemate without border changes.

                That’s right and as long as US and western allies keep up with deliveries there is a chance for Ukraine to achieve its objectives.

                Ideally leading to Russian collapse.

                Before you get bent out of shape about it is in possible…

                Recent history does demonstrate that invading country that faces a determined opposition will generally have to go home with their dicks tucked.

                How long can Russia spin this shot at home esp as Ukraine is striking critical assets deep within Russia.

                And the west hasn’t even given Ukraine the best shit and permission to use it as needed.

                  Okay Brzezinski. Russia hardly faces a determined opposition: it faces a dwindling supply of forced conscripts.

          ??? Why would old collaborators (of which decidents were justly punished later) hurt “the tankie”?

          Better mention banderites who ran off to the west where they were sucking up to CIA, MI6 and West German washed-nazi intelligence while murdering people left and right (in Germany, after war no less). it’s even in the wiki too.

              Molotov-Ribbentrop is a great example of liberals not being able to think for themselves. Hitler literally wrote in Mein Kampf that his goal was to destroy the communist movement, occupy Russia, and enslave the Slavs. It is literally impossible for the Soviets to believe they could form an alliance, which means your conclusion that Molotov-Ribbentrop constitutes meaningful collaboration is incorrect.

              If you study the history around it, the USSR wanted absolutely nothing to do with war after its revolution because it wanted to focus all of its efforts on building a new nation. The treaty was negotiated in attempt to delay armed conflict as much as possible and to take advantage of contradictions in capitalism/fascism to create that extra time.

              Hey liberal, I’m a little fuzzy on dates. Did this happen before or after the Munich agreement? Before or after Stalin tried to ally with Britain and France against the Nazis?
