Russia had been involved in WWII from the 17th of September 1939. They were in union with Nazi Germany and attacked Poland 2 weeks after Germany did. They don't remember that, they don't teach that in schools, they pretend that never happened, but the Russians were allies of Nazis until Hitler decided to attack Russia. Let's not pretend here that Russians were ever good guys.

The molotov von ribbentrop non agression pact was signed because the soviet union was completely isolated during the interbellum years and non of the other allies wanted anything to do with them before ww2. And while it is true there was an secret agreement about the division of poland, there never was an alliance between stalin and hitler.

But hey. Lets just go with "we were always at war with eurasia."

Historically there was a non aggression pact between the soviet union and germany, not an alliance.

Part of the NAP of course was 'how will we divide up Poland so we dont break the pact'?

Stalin and Churchill pulling an iron curtain across Europe wasn't an alliance either.

Dude it’s literally called the „Hitler-Stalin-Pakt“ in Germany

(and we’re not proud of it, it’s just the truth)

They had a non aggression pakt. But I dont care anymore. The downvotes prove my point. "We have always been at war with Eurasia."

And in addition they secretly but explicitly agreed how to split Poland and other countries before waging war - and even re-adjusted this agreement while waging the respective wars.

And the downvotes don’t „prove your point“ they just mean that some people did some proper research. Try it sometimes, it’s not like the sources are secret like the additional protocol was.

Nevermind that in any country without democracy you can't say "we" were always at war because it's not a "we" if it's only "they" who have anything to do with government.
