I think you are just projecting that in me. I said it because OP's image says there was never ever any collaboration between nazi germany and the ussr. Creating a non aggression pact was aiding nazis.
No it definitely didn't aid them. The pact caused Britain to declare war and guaranteed that when Germany would eventually fight the soviets Germany would be fighting on two different fronts.
Had they not signed the pact Germany would have invaded the USSR then and there and France/Britain would have ignored it. All the resources of the USSR would have gone to Germany and been ploughed into their war machine.
You can only say "that aided the nazis" by looking at the pact in a vacuum. It did the complete opposite of aiding them because it started a war with us here in Britain.
Alright thanks for explaining. I didn't know a lot about this pact. It was just floating somewhere in the back of my mind. When I learned about it I remember that it made me uncomfortable. But it's good to know the circumstances surrounding this pact.
My initial comment wasn't trying to frame the ussr as pro nazi, but rather to question if the ussr always opposed the nazis, which, with the pact in the back of my mind I doubted.
I wrote the comment offhand on my phone. And didn't think it would be taken as me accusing the ussr of being active nazi supporters. Because I don't believe that at all. But in my mind not opposing them would've been practically the same as aiding.
I don't blame em. But it did happen.
You say that as if it is a "slight" on the Soviets
It was a masterplay of Soviet foreign policy
It forced Britain to declare war on Nazi Germany a week later ensuring for the Soviets the Germans would be fighting a two front war

I know. I was not saying the ussr was pro nazi.
Nope it forced Britain to declare war on Germany when Germans wanted Lebensraum in the East
It fucked the nazis and forced them into the same scenario of ww1 - a two front war against Britain and Russia
