>>2427501>The logical conclusion is that Stalin (the leader) employed Hitler (the brute).On the contrary it was Stalin who spent the entire 1930s pushing for an anti-fascist alliance in Europe, and was rejected by England, France, and Poland. Meanwhile US capitalists traded with and empowered the nazis. Nazis were even invited to Madison Square Garden to hold a rally which you can see footage of.
The USSR was the
last not the
first country to sign a non-aggression pact with Hitler, and it did so only after attempts to make an anti-fascist alliance
failed and they only did so because they needed to buy time to move their factories East and extend their western front into Poland and Finland so that the nazis would have to push through more militarized battlespace to get to Moscow.
even the US government's own history website endorsed this interpretation of history with regard to the Molotov Ribbentrop Pact (pic related and source included)
