One who does not know history is doomed to repeat it. Hitler and Stalin made a pact to divide countries in Europe and split Poland. When Hitler attacked Poland, Stalin waited two weeks instead and attacked only when Hitler had become the bad guy. After attacking Poland Great Britain and France declared war on Germany, so Hitler had to occupy France. Stalin had a plan to wait until Hitler is done in Europe and then attack from rear but Hitler's intelligence service got sniff of this and Germans made a half cooked plan to attack Russia instead and destroy their forces when they were not expecting it. The amount of equipment next to the border destroyed by Germans was horrifyingly huge for Germans. I am not saying that Hitler was not the bad guy. He definitely was but Stalin was an equal player and because he got more time and more people to kill, he actually ended up mass murdering more people than Hitler did. Fortunate for us at least one bad guy was stopped but the world would be much better place right now when Americans would have destroyed also Stalin as they initially planned when they realized what kind of monster he is. Instead we have to live in the world where Russia is glorifying a mass murderer and is dreaming to annex at least the same amount of land as Stalin did.
