You are entitled to your own opinion, but not to your own facts. The fact is that the USSR and Germany signed a non-aggression pact, not a treaty of alliance. You can read the text [0] yourself and see that there is nothing resembling a war

"They believe USSR won WW2 by itself" Considering that about 80% of German losses happened on the Eastern front, this isn't far from the truth. Meanwhile, the White House claims that the war was won by the US and the GB [0].

I don't understand why you are redefining a call for ostracism as "deciding who your friends are" and then classify ostracism as "the opposite of harassment". This pretty much looks like harassment to me: "the
