You don’t get to bitch and moan about le evil Soviet Empire when you’ve been an enthusiastic collaborator of the American Empire since the Warsaw Pact collapsed.
All the while, it’s an advanced level of tone deaf to be talking about how evil the Soviets were to the countries whose independence movements were greatly bolstered by Soviet aid.

Imperial Russia’s treatment of Poland was awful but, forgive me for playing Atrocity Olympics, doesn’t hold a candle to what European powers (who they’re now buddy buddy with) were concurrently doing to Africa.
Nazi Germany’s treatment of Poland (among other nations in the East) is another case entirely since they practically borrowed from the European colonial playbook. But the hatred for RuZZia and bootlicking for Western Europe has them leave it out, of course.
