Comment on YSK that Joseph Stalin created the Great Terror. He started killing people randomly including artists, generals, doctors, scientists, government officials. Everyone was terrified.

Hitler was a monster, but we really don’t talk enough about how bad Stalin was

Not only is The Double Genocide Theory a form of soft Holocaust denial, it’s deeply comical to claim “we don’t talk enough about how bad Stalin was”. Yes we fucking do??? American popular code culture has been built on anti-Communism for decades!

Great, doesn’t change the fact that the majority of the world is not America.

  Are US Americans even aware of this, though?

Not really, the Soviets were considered Allies. In addition, the USA supplied weapons and materials to the Soviets and the fucks used them against Finland.

  False. The war with Finland happened in 1939 and the lend-lease program didn’t begin until 1941. There wasn’t even a supply route connecting the USSR to the other allies until the Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran, also in 1941 (which was one of the main reasons for the invasion).

    True for the illegal Soviet aggression, but false for the Continuation War from June 1941 to Sep 1944. Assisting a communist country over a democratic one is disgusting. I would have let the Nazis and Bolsheviks murder each other until they were both severely weakened.

    Well then, thank God you weren’t the one in power back theqn, or we would’ve lost the war. Hopefully, no one like you ever gets near the levers of power.
    
    The Nazis and “Bolsheviks” did fight each other and become severely weakened because of it. 27 million Soviets gave their lives in the heroic struggle to save the world from the Nazis.

  Very briefly during the second world war, but beyond that period, both before and after, the Soviets were considered an enemy of the US and co.
