The F sure as fuck doesn’t stand for Army you fucking ape.
The FBI has the authority to enforce laws passed through regular congressional channels by elected officials.
Here the commander in chief is declaring a policy and enforcing it directly with his own power. It’s the textbook definition.
Military unilaterally policing civil affairs on US soil
HoW iS tHaT mArTiAL Law??
Just look up the definition you fucking stooge.
Sensationalist? They give a very clear picture of what the orders were and are a perfect microcosm of how Stalin’s regime operated with the violently anti-communist Nazi’s.
As your well sourced historical analysis states there are plausible reasons for the policy but that doesn’t change the fact that the USSR acted to project and protect its own influence. You don’t get to dress it up as “saviors of Europe” or “benevolent protectors of Poland”.
As for using Russia and USSR interchangeably, I pretty obviously use it due to the outsized russkie influence on USSR policy. Stalin’s USSR was a hard turn from Lenin’s korenisatsiya, Russian culture and interests were first among “equals” (from Stalin’s own mouth). Waxing lyrical about the USSR’s diversity is pretty irrelevant in most conversations and especially here.
And next time you stalk someone’s post history, use a little more critical thinking. In no way do I support just about any of the USA’s foreign policy. I call a spade a spade and operate in real life, outside the confines of internet ideology. You have no clue what I do or don’t do in real life, regardless of what I post. Keep fighting that strawman, trooper, maybe it will go better for you than this thread.
Dang bro you had Russian imperial apologism ready to go that quick? Impressive.
I’m not going to engage with most of what you wrote because everything I’ve said is a fact, it’s not up for argument. The maps delineating eastern Europe exist, these conflicts happened. The Soviets oh-so-valiantly opposed nazi aggression except for when they didn’t.
Hey look, here’s a Soviet and Nazi officer shaking hands after the invasion of Poland:
Here’s a German soldier giving flowers to the crew of a Russian tank:
Somehow if you’re a fan of an imperial power (UK, US, USSR, RUS, CHN, etc…) your invasions are always the product of specific circumstance. It’s always actually a liberation, or counter terrorism or defending world order. Your puppet government is always an improvement. The other team are the true bloodthirsty enemies.
Let me cut through your mincing of the facts:
The Soviet Union invaded Poland
2 weeks after the Nazis, at a time…
It’s not a secret that western powers were opposed to the Soviets; it’s not a secret that they did it to protect their own interests. If they cared more about being a bulwark against fascism those pictures would be Russian troops fighting side by side with the Poles. They could have even pushed into the German lines at any point before Operation Barbarossa.
They did eventually win the eastern front, but they looked out for their own interests first. There are a lot of counterfactual histories where millions of lives are saved by decisive cooperation.
Here’s how the Soviets save the Poles:
This might be the most backward brain rot comment I’ve ever read. Just gonna rapid fire through these…
There’s a reason a Pole will tell you never trust a Russian, they’ve never been grateful vassals. I don’t subscribe to America’s red scare propoganda but you’re an idiot to whitewash Soviet foreign policy.
Here’s a wrench for you: the Luddites were 100% right
