As you yourself noted, they weren't kidnapped simply for being born in Germany. They were literal Nazis. They worked for the Nazi party developing weapons that would be used in the greatest war of aggression the world has seen up to that point and there weapons killed a lot of people. For someone who claims to have a moral compass, you sure do flip flop back and forth between "Soviets saved evil Nazis too" and "Soviets never should have harmed those poor innocent people".
As for using the word "degenerate", that's a hell of a choice given the context of our discussion. Maybe some of the Nazi rubbed off on you.
Why would the Nazi rub off in me? I'm not the one defending this shit. You are. I'm just trying the one pointing out your hypocrisy.
The fact that you're actively celebrating this shit like it's some kind of victory, is what makes you a degenerate. You and the Americans are all the same.
"Well, they paid Nazis to work for them. That's disgusting! At least our side kidnapped them. Because that's so much better!"
You're both trash.
Again, go look up the word degenerate and try to understand it's relationship with the program of white supremacist eugenics.
As for celebrating that the Soviets kidnapped Nazi scientists and forced them to transfer knowledge, I don't know that I would say celebrate it. It was pretty hard on those families. And it was primarily to advance the state of the art in rockets which were primarily a weapons system. But I don't need to celebrate it. All I need to show is that my assessment was correct and that yours was incorrect, misleading, and based on your other comments either outright deceitful or exhibiting your total cognitive dissonance.
To whit - it was the Soviets that fought and repressed the Nazis. It was the Americans that saved them, integrated them, and internationalized them.
You have no refutation of this, despite attempting to argue against it - in fact your own positions support this position.
But somehow I am the problem. Because there can't be any room in your head for someone who says that Soviets were better than the allies on most fronts despite them also committing war crimes. Sorry not sorry. The reality is that the West was in the wrong, is still in the wrong, and despite all of the failings and atrocities of the USSR, they were on the right side of history.
