Yep, 73 years to this day. It allowed Hitler to avoid a REAL two-front war unlike say, Poland.
You may know it under the name of German-Soviet Nonaggression Pact, German-Soviet Treaty of Nonaggression, Hitler-Stalin Pact, Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. An infamous mention goes as well to the secret protocal with the fifth partition of Poland.
Germany was at war with Poland and France at the same time, so it was technically a two front war. :nerd:
I have it on good authority from the Paradox forums that the USSR didn't invade Poland but rather took possession of an abandoned piece of land after Poland was annihilated.

Well, had Smigly-Rydz issued a formal declaration of war after the Red Army attacked, some would probably still see it as a Polish agression.
EUOT is a stronghold of jackassery and Russian apologism.

They scored a few good wins after that-- like in espionage.

I never got banned there, though I pretty much quit going to their OT forum after the migration to Languish--I still went to the game forums until I quit buying their games.

That was a lot earlier than that, my friend. Namely, somewhere around the US declaration of war in 1916 and Versailles. Even lefties bailed on their anti-war sentiment.

Yes. Closet commie. He was probably the least effective though, compared to all the scientists, FBI types, and counter intelligence operators who they turned.

In the sense that most of its members were federal agents there to spy on it? :P
Even the Rosenbergs were former members of the CPUSA I believe.
I don't what you use as an image host, but it's not working for you.
Seems to be working fine on my end. Not sure what that red X is supposed to signify, though. :hmm:
I still get no picture at all.
Fine. Fuck all your browsers. Deleted.
What kind of browser does your typewriter use anyway?
I'm pretty sure it uses a land line.
Stalin was a baddy. The Soviets were baddies. Boo hoo. Not sure what the greater point of this thread is.
I want the posable Stalin action figure:

That is awesome. I wish I had a desk at work to put that on.
What is that white uniform? Dress uniform for some branch of the military, or Stalin's special waiter outfit?
That's his summer tunic, and only until Labor Day.

Soviets were not the baddies. There is plenty of evidence that those were not legitimate rapes.

And, until this day, the French whine about those nasty soviets who refused to immediately enter the war so that THEY could take on the brunt of the casualties of facing the Germans, while the allies could take it easy and advance when both sides are exhausted.
Boo-fucking-hoo. Two can play at that game, and the Union was more successful at it than France (who wasn't supposed to lose the war so quickly). Cry me a river.

Martim embrace Stalinist propaganda? Shocking.
The Soviet Union lost a lot more people then France did in the war. It would seem to me M-R pact was a disaster for the Soviet Union as it weakened it's natural allies (France, and Britain), and immensely strengthened it's dire enemy (Germany). The Soviet Union payed a pretty steep price for such a poor decision. The wounds it sustained in WWII likely factored into the collapse of the Soviet Union forty years later. France is still around. The Soviet Union is not.

I don't think I've heard a Frenchman boy or girl whine this particular whine ever. Not a single time.
And this is from a guy who thinks the French are nonstop whiners.
