You promote imperial propaganda by giving voice to opposition one week before a US invasion of a country. The only reason why you happen to care about Iranian protestors is because of the constant western-manufactured atrocity propaganda, which doesn't need to be fake to serve its purpose of defeatism and of making opposition to armed invasion of Iran less unpalatable among progressives. It's the same tactic of western media overfocusing on Hamas violence in Palestine during a period of literal genocide by Israel.

More Palestinians were murdered daily during Biden administration on average than during Trump. That is not because Trump is better, but because genocide of Palestinians is a bipartisan issue in the USA.

If you ever visit Poland, ping me, me and my boys are gonna fuck you up

Hope you get banned for that, but I'm glad you resort to violence when confronted with evidence, classic right wing nationalist

If 10% the standards applied to western communist parties had been applied to the rest of parties, communists would have ruled Europe. My point is it's mainly gladio + propaganda that did this

Not just massacring, also because the massive relocations during invasion, the immense focus in industry, huge recruitment of working force, and loss of agricultural land in the south, there were big famines in WW2 USSR. It's the main reason behind the million deaths in prisons during WW2 USSR.

Notice my comment specifically mentioning post-1955. Poland was made to pay reparations to the USSR because of the lives lost saving Poland, which is debatable, this was stopped after the mid 50s

Yes, because of Yank propaganda. I don't see how they're anything remotely as bad as Vietnam or Korea, look at the figures of deaths. It's just that Europeans are racist as fuck and don't care about deaths of Asians, and American propaganda was much more pervasive.

25 million Soviets died during the war. Is the 8.7 just soldiers?

I already provided an extensive comment regarding the widely misconstrued Molotov-Ribbentrop in this comment section, you should check it out.

Thanks for agreeing with my point: yes, it was the Soviets that took the brunt of the war and did the most to destroy Nazism. Lend lease helped, but the main factor in the destruction of Nazism was the Soviet interwar industrialization push since 1929's first 5-year plan.

it suffered from its close association to the many failures of the Soviet Union (such as its foreign policy flip-flops and numerous human right violations)

By that logic, all modern pro-NATO parties in the EU should have disappeared in the 1950s. You say the USSR has policy flip flops, but have you looked at the USA's foreign policy? As for human rights violations, I don't really know what you're talking about regarding the French Communist Party "natural political decline". Since Stalin's death in the 1950s the gulags were closed, famines had disappeared, and the USSR was an overwhelmingly peaceful nation that internationally provided help to emancipatory anti-colonial projects such as those of Cuba or Vietnam, while the US bombed the fuck out of them. Also, did you just say "nah" to the source I brought and simply disregarded it?

And what should the alternative be? Because the other only possible alternative was allowing the Nazis full control of those lands. For comparison, the Katyn massacre in Poland likely carried out by the Soviets during occupation consists of figures numbered in the tens of thousands, and Nazi extermination in Poland killed several millions. What's the desired occupation?
