Stalin was more of a threat than Hitler. The Third Reich was always going to self-destruct as Hitler lost power. The Communists had an iron grip on power in the USSR and viewed every other government as enemies that would destroy the USSR if given a chance. Putin still believes that and is trying to act on it.
Well, the real question was, who was Stalin a threat to? Answer- he was a threat to Rich people, which is why the West, feckless as they were, ignored Japanese and German Aggression for more than a decade hoping the Axis Powers would take out those dirty-stinking commies before they redistributed the wealth or anything.
And in the end, the world had to rely on Stalin to save it from the Axis. "Save us, Mr. Commie!!!"
Whoops, Stalin Saved us, but now he's keeping Eastern Europe and arming the Commies in China! Those dirty stinking Commies!!!
Given that they have Drippy as a teacher, I'm surprised they know much of anything.Why does that not surprise me.
Yes and the defender of Stalin @JoeB131 forgot that Stalin stole the A bomb from the USA and NEVER had Hitler stole from the USA. Joe defends
Well, it kind of depends how you define "Stole". The Soviets were working on their own bomb program. We got there first and thought we could intimidate the rest of the world with a monopoly.
The US was the only country to use nukes on people. (At least so far). That doesn't put us on a moral high plane.
Joe defends FDR. FDR hated blacks. FDR hated Jews. FDR kept them away from the USA. FDR hated the Japanese. HE jailed thousands of them.
Uh, yes, he jailed people who might be sympathetic to the Axis. It wasn't just Japanese. We also locked up 20,000 Germans and 5,000 Italians who had fascist sympathies. Given some of the other shit done by other powers (Axis and Allies) during the war, this seems, really kind of tame.
"What's the worst thing you ever did?"
Chaing: I flooded the Yellow River and killed 300,000 of my own people!
Japan: I slaughtered 300,000 civilians in Nanking, and did the Bataan Death March.
Churchill: I let 4 million Bengals starve to death because I rerouted resources away from them.
Stalin: Man, I did a number on the Volga Germans!!
Hitler: Need you ask?
FDR: "Well, um, I locked up some people who were too sympathetic to the enemy for a short time, and released most of them before the war was even over."
Germany did come close to defeating @JoeB131 favorite Communist but don't fear, he also came to the aid of XI of China.
