Yes, trade with the only countries willing to trade with you is bad, actually. If that surprises you wait until you hear about the economic support by absolutely everyone else to the nazis.
Lmao at "carving out Europe". If you want a nazi Poland you can just say so.
Thank god randomchapouser27362717 is here not just to criticize past leaders, oh no, but to talk about how they SUCKED, were terrible and actually the people who supported them were wrong too.
Economic relations with a country whose party in power had the open goal of destroying Bolshevism is alright, not to mention the economic relation involved materials critical to the German war machine. Amazing logic. Also the USSR had trade relations with UK and USA, their initial five year plans involved importing American machinery and trained engineers who were critical in their industrialization.

I don't know, I couldve done better than the 40 million dead by not trading with the Nazis, focusing on building defences rather than trusting Nazis till the last moment, and actually listening to my generals.
I. You don't at least feign friendly relations with the Germans to buy time for rebuilding the Soviet military.
II. As a result, Hitler decides you're the more immediate threat compared to the Allies and invade you immediately after Poland.
III. France and Britain do nothing but watch with relish and likely implicitly support it.
IV. You're likely invaded by Japan as well, since the dire resource situation that would historically necessitate their decision to bomb Pearl Harbor is two years away so their forces are unoccupied for awhile.
V. Without those two additional years of preparation for the Red Army, you lose.
VI. Congratulations, everyone in Eastern Europe (200+ million people) is enslaved or killed.
