Technically, it was Poland that would have started the war, but I get the point. Also, since the Nazis broke the agreement with the USSR in 1941, you should have Trump pointing at Stalin saying, "You're Fired!"
Agreed but he, like Trump, wanted nothing to do with Europe. also, I would argue he did unfairly punish veterans and farmers - pretty vulnerable people from a financial position
The UK was also isolationist. After WWI, MacDonald really didn't want to rearm to counter German rearmament given the electorate wouldn't buy into preparing for a new war.
His chancellor argued for rearmament. Bloke called Neville...
... Chamberlain. He managed to push enough through that deputy Labour leader Arthur Greenwood attacked him for it in the run-up to the 1935 election, saying the policy was "... scaremongering; disgraceful... to suggest that more millions of money needed to be spent on armaments."
Canada is starting a war by refusing to become the 51st State, Greenland and Panama are threatening war by refusing to obey Trump, Great Britain and Germany are asking Trump to liberate them, just as Ukraine asked Putin
In 1939 Stalin was Hitler's ally. He provided him with much needed resources and participated in destruction of Poland. They also had joined victory parade in Brześć Litewski...
There is a difference between treating with, and helping to quietly re-arm Nazi Germany and then agreeing to split Poland with them. You could argue with some ahistorical aspects of this cartoon, but in 1939, Stalin was close to Hitler…
That whole theory is very after the fact, and countered by the series of escalating commercial agreements signed, where the Soviets helped Germany get around the blockade by the UK and France.
the invasion of the USSR, so when the non-agression pact proposal arrived to Molotov, it was a good choise to momentaly secure the western border. Of course, 2 years later nazis invaded. So it is not true to say that Stalin was close to Hitler. In Munich Conference every western was close to nazis.
So, if Stalin wasn’t close to Hitler, how’d they secure the border, as you say? What about the escalating commercial agreements to supply goods to Germany?
Chamberlain being at Munch doesn’t mean the entirety of the West was close to the Nazis, given that was the pretense for the UK to go to war.
In 1939, Stalin saw that intention of the western power was to power Germany in the east, becoming it in a menance for the USSR, and pact was offered to France and UK by Stalin. They refused. Poland has annexed a part of Chekoslovakia collaborating with the nazis, and could by and ally for them in +
Before, Spanish Republic was abandoned by they, and the legitimation of Franco’s regime came before the war was lossed. Of course, the USSR was the only country who helped against the fascist coup and also Franco sent and expeditionary corp to help nazis in Barbarrossa Operation.
In 1938, UK, France and specialy Poland made an agreement with Germany to divide Chekoslovakia. Stalin fírmely opossed it, and also help was send to Praga. But they collapsed and all the country was taken by the nazis, except a little part that was taken by Poland.
After first seeking to form an alliance with Britain and France against Hitler, but they refused. Important point. Britain, France and US saw Hitler as a weapon to be used against Soviets.
Reminder
"The Great Terror of 1937, also known as the Great Purge, was a brutal political campaign led by Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin.
Most experts believe at least 750,000 people were executed during the Great Terror, which started around 1936 and ended in 1938." https://www.history.com/topics/european-history/great-purge
"More than a million survivors were sent to forced labor camps, known as Gulags. This ruthless and bloody operation caused rampant terror throughout the Soviet Union and impacted the country for many years."
That is reality. Remember we threw Japanese-Americans in concentration camps and confiscated all of their wealth. FDR was certainly less shitty than most.
And if the Warsaw pact was "well you can have all of Poland" would that have been better? Poland liked Nazis, most of Europe did. The Soviet justification was to keep the Nazis at bay, which is who they were fighting in Poland too. The Nazis only goal was killing slavs, of which they killed millions
On that note too, of course we had that scandal in Canada where they invited the Ukrainian war hero and THEN they learned he was a Nazi. Oooooops "we picked the wrong one" 🙄 did they find the "right" one after that? 😉
They had a goal of killing slavs, obviously we get the data we get now because they ""lost"" so who knows, but they definitely thought Slavic people were worthy of death. So maybe they would be fine with Ukraine to start but not by the end. 6 million went into the camps too, we don't hear about much
It's a stretch I appreciate. I was ready and willing to vilify USSR based on what I learned as a child which was the basic liberal line, I just learned new things as an adult and I'm still learning. It's hard to see stalin USSR as anything but monstrous but it probably wasn't as we hear about it.
They murdered thousands and the invasion of Poland just looks opportunistic. Hence for that cartoon it’s ok for me Stalin there. The problem is most westerners forget that the Russians kicked nazi arse all over Europe and the west are far from the good guys in the way they carved up land post ww2
In 1939 he invaded & annexed Poland as part of an alliance with the Nazis. He supplied the Nazis with natural resources. He became an ally against the Nazis only after the Nazis turned round & attacked him in 1941.
Technically they was ally in the poland invasion whit hitler, sooo... yes this is technically correct for the 1939 year, don't was until the 1941 who hitler declare war angainst urss
Not allies. Just swapped military technologies and Stalin provided Russian uniforms and training territory to build Hitler’s army up and then mutually invaded a sovereign country together 🤦🏼♂️
Both Russia and Germany had the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact i.e worked together to carve up Poland, Baltic states, Finland & Romania. This is more than simply a non-aggression pact.Then Russia was invaded by Germany with Operation Barbarossa. This that resulted in 10-15 million deaths! 😭
They cant overlook the anti comintern pact, mein Kampf, nuremberg laws and so many more things directly adressing the soviet union as enemy. Like its fundamentally in their ideology. Stalin just took what he can get before things escalate and because he was a imperalist.
Yes, but that don't quit they where allies untyl the operation barba roja, is more, Is knowed who URSS have a invasion plan for attack germany too, but the fast victory of germany over france cancel the plan
My original point is don’t confuse Nazis and Communists. We are losing the fight against Fascism now because we killed, suppressed, and imprisoned all the communists during the Cold War. Communists were the real enemies of Fascism. Capitalism and elites are natural allies with Fascists.
For definition, two nations who colaborate in the invasion and ocupation of another county was ally you like it or no, even if was a temporal ally just for have a common border for a future war angainst the other they still being ally
The problem is not that Donald hasn't made mistakes. He has. It's the fact that he is mentally incapable of accepting the fact that he can make mistakes. A common symptom of Narcissitic Personality Disorder. I presume you already knew that before I spelled it out for you.
For all his follies, there is a part of Donald that has longly been institutionalized. He cannot function without constant assistance from those around him. Someone has to bring him his Diet Cokes and tie his shoes. Elder abuse.
Yeah, but the Italians being in Ethiopia didn't meet the definition of a world war. Therefore the attack on Poland, and subsequently England and France declaring war on Germany is considered the trigger.
It actually was Britain that declared war on Germany, after they invaded British ally, Poland, and ignored all warnings. Thus an entirely different situation to Ukraine which was invaded, TWICE (first being the annexation of Crimea).
Truth, the moron thinks that sucking the cocks of dick-taters make him look tough. He's too stupid to realize that his yellow streak exposes just how chicken shit he really is.
The new thing that I learned today is that on December 7, 1941 we started the war with Japan by putting Pearl Harbor in the way of Japan's bombs.
Why did they burn those old history books?
Will carefully point out the UK DID hold a general election before VJ day, but by that stage the War (in Europe was over) but I hasten to add this present day example is blatant pandering to Putin
It isn't the liberals saying communism is the same as fascism, dumb ass. Stalin is at the table because of the Molotov Ribbentrop Pact. The Soviet invaded POLAND shortly after the Germans and annexed half the country. Learn. History.
Communism is not fascism, it's just an economical model. In this case it's because of the year (1939) when Stalin joined Hitler in invading Poland under the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact.
This exactly, just because Stalin's Russia eventually helped defeat the axis, does not mean the USSR was one of the actual allies. Stalin was communist in name only, and a brutal dictator in most of his actions.
Again, learn your history. The Red Army was on their way to Berlin and the Poles stopped them. I don’t remember Pilsudski leading the Polish Army to Moscow.
The Soviet Union does not belong at that table any more than France or UK, who also had separate treaties with Hitler. The USSR killed 8/10 Nazi soldiers and lost 20 million people to do so. How dare you
For fucks sake, Masha, Google "Molotov Cocktail" and why it's called that. Soviet history books aren't the only source of information these days. Don't be such an idiot.
And while the Nazis were killing their own communists, Niemoller style, the US was doing what? That's right, business with them. And of course had no problem doing so after, and handing them resources with the Marshall plan just because they hate communism so much, and didn't hate fascism at all.
Oh, so because US were assholes, and didn't involve themselves in the WW2 before Japan fuckedup PH, that somehow makes Stalin okay? Tell it to the millions who died in the gulags, or who were tortured to death after false accusations in Lubyanka.
The majority of Holocaust victims were so called gentiles, mostly soviets, communists and Roma with some homosexuals. But we conveniently seem to forget them all to anoint our perfect victim
Yeah he saved Europe and I'm glad he did but that doesn't make him less of a monster for massacring, torturing and oppressing millions of his own people.
I can't recall when the English or the French set up Gulags, signed a decree titled "Preventing the Mass Exodus of Peasants who are Starving", murdered over 1 million, mostly via shooting massacres during a "Great Purge" or officially ordered 777,975 judicial executions for political charges.
Actually, I totally give you this one. You're right.
I overshot based on my lack of patience with anyone who lionises Stalin because they like the idea of communism and the fact that it was long enough ago that the details of his atrocities are fading from memory.
(AI-transl.) No one paid attention to Ukraine's tragic situation until 2022, when she was invaded by Russia. If Kazakhstan wants attention, it might have to wait until Ukraine is betrayed by Trump and then Kazakhstan is invaded by Russia...
Stalin only made minor improvements because of food production which would go to Russia. He killed an estimated 3.5 to 5 million Ukrainians and an estimated 1.5 million Kazakhs. I completely misread you I thought you were advocating for a group that has historically been undercooked but you’re…
Whether or not it was a genocide is still up to debate (though it certainly would've been convenient for soviet authorities). The fact that it was man-made and a result of Stalin's policies is the historical consensus. Therefore, Stalin is absolutely to blame. Also he tried to cover it up not fix it
Stalin was arguably worse than Hitler, although ranking mass-murdering fuckwads from heinous to satanic is immoral in and of itself. WTF are you talking about!?!
Correct. The mass-murdering fuckwad who was the enemy of another mass-murdering fuckwad who was our enemy is still a mass-murdering fuckwad, not our friend.
Stalin killed millions. The Russians only turned against the Germans when the Germans broke the treaty. The Russian military would also have been way better off without Stalins influence…
The rise of Joseph Stalin in the late 1920s ushered in an era of intense centralization and totalitarianism. Stalin's rule was characterized by the forced collectivization of agriculture, rapid industrialization, and the Great Purge, which eliminated perceived enemies of the state.
Stalin allied with Hitler to divide Poland between them. Hitler's later choice to betray their alliance and enter a war on a second front is no credit to Stalin.
Russia would have lost if they didn't have the blockade, air campaign & lend lease.
You ignore the t
5 attempts stalin made at a European alliance to crush Hitler before he came to power which were rejected by Britain and France until he was left with no option but to sign a non aggression pact (which Britain and France also did) to buy time to arm against Nazi war
Sure, Stalin had no choice but to make an alliance with Hitler, to invade and divide another nation between them.
Stalin was crying into his corn flakes, pleading for people to understand he didn't want to conquer half of Poland and execute its leaders, but the meanie westerners left him no choice.
Citing a book isn't an argument. You obviously have no answer for the basic, obvious fact that no-one forced Stalin to occupy half of Poland, so instead you throw out a book title.
Argue the point or admit your argument was terrible. Don't just hide behind book titles.
Okay, so? This doesn't change the fact that he willingly invaded Poland and others. In fact, Stalin made a point of ceasing to recognize Poland as a country before he invaded. He then executed 10s of thousands of POWs and raped and pillaged half of E. Europe.
The level of bad faith you just demonstrated was truly appalling. The comment about murdered POWs was clearly in reference to murdered Polish leaders, who were not Nazis.
But because you've embraced such an obviously dishonest argument, you didn't even hesitate in replying in blatant bad faith.
Reading comprehension, my friend, is a skill you might want to work on before citing any literature. I never said they were Nazis, in fact I specifically said this was during the USSR's time on the side of the axis. All these POWs were Polish officials, soldiers, and intellectuals.
This is blatant historical revisionism. In 1939, Hitler and Stalin signed the Molotov–Ribbentrop Non-Aggression Pact which divided Eastern Europe up into spheres of influence. Not even a month later, Stalin invades Poland and the Baltics, aiding the Germans in their merciless conquest.
You are historical revisionism lmao you don't know anything the Soviets made several attempts at uniting with Western powers against the fascists to no avail, the western powers you love saw Soviet Socialism as more of a threat than the fascists.
Okay so clearly this has devolved into unconstructive babbling so I will just conclude with this: First of all, I am no fan of the western powers for a number of reasons including the fact that I am a Slav and am well aware of how they have constantly denigrated us. Secondly, please educate yourself
While Stalin did later play a significant role in defeating the Nazis, they only did so after Hitler backstabbed them. And keep in mind, this is not even mentioning the horrific actions of Stalin's regime after the war (Holodomor, etc).
Stalin was a war criminal, a tyrant, and a mass murderer.
Them dividing up Eastern Europe, including letting Stalin colonize the Baltic countries and take Bessarabia and East Poland was much more than just a nonaggression
So theres a number of reasons why the soviets sign the molotov-ribbentrop pact and one of the main ones being to build up the military industry of the soviet union in the inevitable event that the germans invaded. They agreed to the pact for that non aggression to give them time to build up.
The Nazis were very public with its outrage and hatred towards the communists of the soviet union and therefore an alliance never would have worked long term and the soviets knew this. So they used a non-aggression pact to build up their military after having purged it of corrupt officers.
You don't have to be a fascist to be a murderer!
"Stalin had nearly a million of his own citizens executed, beginning in the 1930s. Millions more fell victim to forced labor, deportation, famine, massacres, and detention and interrogation by Stalin’s henchmen." https://news.stanford.edu/stories/2010/09/naimark-stalin-genocide-092310
But Churchill was getting his ass beat. While FDR was technically a liberal, I personally feel he had more sense than liberals nowadays. I mean, they called him a dictator back then often, and even he seemed to have a better relationship with Stalin than Churchill. But I'll give you FDR.
It was Hitler that called FDR and Churchill dictators, so it shouldn’t be taken seriously. Also Stalin came late into the fray. Only after Hitler had betrayed him did he enter into the triumvirate. Stalin felt so stupid for trusting Hitler that it took him weeks before he declared war.
A lot of conservative Yankees saw FDR as a dictator wannabe, the supreme Court tried to block the new deal. Its not only Hitler, a lot of liberals were against him
Thats is literal HISTORY not theory, not some political shit, in 1939 URSS invade poland whit the nazis, UK and france just declare the war angainst hitler for fear of make the urss a enemy and hope of stalyn attacks hitler, think watever you want, thats was happend
Stalin and the Soviets made multiple attempts to contain Hitler with western powers to no avail. After that, the soviets were doing real politik. It's reductive and dumb to say that they were allies when they both knew they were headed for confrontation. Anti-communism itself is fascism.
They was ally, if the hate that aliance was another story but ally for needs still being ally, and your definition of what is fascism is so reductive, at point than in your terms putin is fasist because he say "He who does not miss the USSR has no heart, he who wants it back has no brain."
Irrelevant to the topic. Stalin is also high up there in the list of cartoonish vilains and it was still a good decision to arm them against the Nazis.
He’s such an irresponsible moron, reckless, and criminal!
He is right in the middle of ruining this entire planet, and making most of the inhabitants, miserable and broke, except for the Oligarchs- of course, and the billionaires 🤬😡😤👿😾😖
Huh … yeah well you had HenryFord , Lindbergh, American Bund, Kuhn, Father Coughlin,
And my dad at 14 watched the shit spill out of MSG IN 1939…and 4 years later..
In Nebr we have 2 GOP Sen & 3 GOP Rep. 1(Don Bacon) had the spine to stand up & say Russia started the war. I'd like the other 4 to show the same patriotism. Not a wimpy "Not the words I would use" but a forceful "Mr Pres, you are wrong!"
Call these 4 Congress members if you are from Nebraska.
It wouldn’t be a surprise, but that paper already had a reputation for spreading disinformation as a way to support ultraconservative agendas. And they still do.
Mike Waltz has just gone on record telling Zelensky to ‘tone down the rhetoric’ about the US. What an absolute joke! Especially after all the Russian disinformation our orange traitor has been spewing for years and the complete rewriting of how the war started and the insult he laid on Zelensky.
The Ukraine are pretty much fucked so if I was him, I would’ve just twatted him in the face because things can’t get much worse for them after this shameful week.
We had those shitheads here before WW2 too. Remember, it took Japan bomb our pacific fleet before we finally truly mobilized. We need a political Dec 7th. My birthday is March 14, so I’ll donate my birthday to the cause. Let’s do this!
Actually... even worse: "send envoys to Churchill and Hitler and see what last and best final offer they can provide to my administration (or son in law at 30% discount)."
Trump is kissing up to Putin again. He's lost all perspective as to who started this war.
Register your displeasure with Trump's chief of staff Susie Wiles 904-502-7100
Powdered wigs, flamboyant clothing and makeup all part o 18th Century aristocracy. Oh, and they even had false calf muscles to put in your stockings to give you that strong manly leg.
The French are back, the English are good, (both with Nukes) but ya know who is still really tough the Germans (the Black Iron Cross is back on their Eurofighters - it's actually a Messerschmitt) Putin upon seeing one was sick to his stomach.
I'm sorry Republicans you really lost big time this time not a little you lost big. Time to clean up the house the Senate and the Supreme Court and go home.
FUN FACT 98
Anyone upset over comparisons between Hitler, Trump should remember:
Trump uses Hitler's words, "enemy of the people," Trump said Hitler did "a lot of good things," Trump kept a book Hitler's speech by his bed.
That’s pretty accurate. trump and putins attempts to divide Ukraine saying it “will bring peace to the region” is exactly what the Germans and Russia said to justify invading Poland, which started WWII
Except it was the U.S that gave Stalin and Hitler the tanks to start the war! OSS plan was for those two to fight each other and sent them covertly as WESTINGHOUSE "refrigeraters" which actually to this day makes TANKS!
Can we just say it plain? Billionaires are the most insecure of us. Having sought, but not found, validation in money, they pivot to power. Not addressing their inner emptiness. They don't know who they are. They seek external validation, love/ respect by force. They need hugs and help. Not power
He'd be accusing Poland instead, since he'd technically be correct if he mentioned Britain in this context. And to address the inevitable responses to this comment, I'm aware that Britain (and most of Western Europe) made great efforts to AVOID WWII, but hindsight now suggests -
that because of the Versailles Treaty (and in a broader context, the fact that Fascism - and the movements inspired through it - was a then-modernised political derivation of Imperialism), Britain is ultimately at the very least partly responsible for the events and ideas which led to WWII.
We have to expect that the RUSSIAN ASSET aka TRUMP, will not ever tell Americans what RUSSIA holds over him. We suspect.
That is all we can do while AMERICA is cowering before the RUSSIAN BEAR who has his Claws out..ready to strike!!
Hitler and Stalin were initially allies in WW2. Together they planned Poland's takeover. In 1941, Hitler betrayed Stalin and attacked Russia. I can see a WW2 repeat as tRUMP/Putin plan the takeover of Ukraine and then one of them betrays the other. Given tRUMP's stupidity it'll be Putin who wins.
the same kind of shit misinformation/fake news Trump spews around. 27 million dead Soviets at the hands of Nazis, and this is how you portray them. we can agree to dislike Russians nowadays, hate Putin, but revising history like this is wrong. no Europe as we know it if not for Soviets in WWII…
The USSR only had a non aggression pact with Nazi Germany. After, trying for a decade, to get the rest of Europe to stop Hitler. Stalin should not be pictured here. Or a more accurate depiction should have every leader in Europe at that table.
They weren't. It was a pact, guess who also had pacts with Germany at that time? Everyone. USSR tried to get other European countries to help deal with them but none would get involved, mostly because they loved fascism and hated communism. The US especially, which is why they were so late.
The difference with that 'pact' is Russia and Germany carved up Eastern Europe between them.
The other pacts you speak about like Britain and Germany ( Macmillan's piece of paper) was simply Yiu do attack us and we won't either.
Russia & Germany went further than this.
which begs the question, why is japan at the table? the pact was kept secret from them, and they were not happy
the cartoonist is trying to paint nazis and soviets as the same with this image, and it is upholding right wing cold war propaganda that all things russia are evil, and that soviets=nazis.
While those others did nothing, but they did do business with the Nazis, so they didn't want to yet. Had they instead agreed to a pact with USSR then maybe that wouldn't have happened...
As I understand it. I grew up fully liberal raised by neoliberals. I always heard "when the Nazis entered eastern European countries they were welcomed because at least they weren't the Soviets" but never "because they loved Nazis" now I know that's more likely the case. School never taught that.
The politics in the USA were not uniform in 1939 any more than today, but we had no “pact” with Russia and no alliance until after Hitler broke his Nonagression Pact with Stalin in Operation Barbarosa invading Russia in June 1941.
To be fair, it wasn't until the US was directly attacked that it even joined with the Allies to fight back.. Guys like Trump were a dime a dozen in 1939 "Let Europe fight it's own battles"
If Trump were president in 1939, this world we're barely holding on to probably wouldn't exist in 2025. We'll be lucky if this world survives the next 4 years.
Think the daily news is doing a fine job of that as it is. Just too bad that a large percentage of the American population seems either not to care, or actually delights in his erratic behavior and immoral perversity; i.e., selling out Ukraine, attacking allies, gutting vital federal agencies, etc.
I work with people like that, they are so ethically bereft it is not even funny. Every week they find some new detail to slobber over like the 5-8k check they think they will get.
It wasn't far from that, while my countrymen fought for 3 years before nazi loving America's decided to help. 3 fucking years it took them to get off their fucking asses and help, while we died fighting for your freedom
Churchill notoriously convinced Roosevelt to enter WW2 at a delayed timeframe so that the Nazis could further kick the USSR’s asses and cripple its ability to compete post war. This was an important seed for the Cold War distrust.
He got his country in trouble when he announced the intention to join NATO, ignoring the security interests that Russia would have in the matter. Do you have any doubt that the US would invade Mexico if they announced they were going to join the Warsaw Pact?

"Churchill is a dictator for refusing to have elections"
"Poland could have made a deal earlier, they should never have started it"
"Churchill better move fast or he won't have a country left"
It actually was Britain that declared war on Germany, after they invaded British ally, Poland, and ignored all warnings. Thus an entirely different situation to Ukraine which was invaded, TWICE (first being the annexation of Crimea).
Why did they burn those old history books?
But yes, that is a fact.
What started the war was inviting / considering Ukraine to be part of the Alliedgroup
Come on
😭🙏
Most historians agree that Stalin is responsible for at least 6 million deaths, some say as many as 20 million.
DJT, King of Trumplandia.
the thing is, this graph doesn't really tell us that he saved europe - it just says how french people felt over the years
interestingly there's an argument that western europe was actually more likely to think favourably on the soviets around the end of ww2, since
on the other hand, in poland for instance, you're way more likely to find people absolutely detest stalin
