It’s a fact.

      never happened.
      That’s american ‘education’ for you, why am I not surprised?
      Or is it your 420 influence?

        I mean it doesn’t change the fact that Soviet Union did make a deal with the Nazis and split Europe between them. Nobody is doubting that there was a reason for doing it.

          It totally does change it. Making a non-aggression pact with the biggest military in the world just sounds like a rational move.

            I think you misunderstood. It doesn’t change the fact that such a pact happened and that they did divide Europe between them in it. It’s opinion on how justified such a thing where those arguments matter.

              Giving facts without appropriate context IS manipulation.

              Stalin certainly wasn’t stupid enough to genuinely ally with the nazis and did took pragmatic decision after he was turned away by the ally, who hated communism as much as hitler.

                You get that Russia flight with Germany until they got betrayed right? Right?

                never happened.

                That was the preceding discussion. Someone seemed to be denying it happening at all. Someone came in with a justification for the action, I was just saying that it doesn’t change the fact of it happening, just the justification over it. For further clarification, I’m against the denialism. I’m not saying it wasn’t a pragmatic decision, even if morally dubious.

          If that’s a ‘fact’ it should be easy to prove right?
          Or is it more likely you pulled it from your ass?

              Yawn, this again.
              As I thought, pulled from your ass and the same cheap tricks they try to claim with this pact.
              A non-aggression treaty is not “split Europe between them”

              Wait I’ll return the favor:
              Here is the deal between the nazis and their friends from England to split Europe between them.

                You might want to read the whole first sentence of the article lol

                was a non-aggression pact between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, with a secret protocol establishing Soviet and German spheres of influence across Eastern Europe.

                  LOL Maybe you should learn that Wikipedia is not a source and proven to be extremely biased and manipulated.
                  You don’t even know that.
                  And even that Wiki page doesn’t cite sources, something you need if you don’t want to be seen as just making shit up, which you clearly are.
                  You claim it’s in that pact, then go to the absolute source and show me where it is.

                    Wikipedia just has approachable articles, so I linked to that since you seemingly hadn’t heard of the pact. It cites sources like so [1] for further reading. And the existence of such pact has been admitted to in Germany, Soviet Union and later in Russia. Its existence isn’t exactly controversial. It’s rather how justified it was that’s argued about.

                    You claim it’s in that pact, then go to the absolute source and show me where it is.

                    Here’s the original texts [1], [2]. If you want an English translation, plenty of them online. Heres’ one (pdf). The secret protocols are at the end.
