    Stalin said he was joking, but probably wasn’t.

      Given how WW2 started Stalin should have thrown himself into the mix.

        Would you have preferred Germany taken the whole of Poland from day one? Would that have been better for Polish Jews?

        Molotov-Ribbentrop only happened because the Allies refused to work with the Soviets in crushing the Nazis before they could act. It was a defensive compromise.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don’t post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
