State policy has f*** all to do with it

I thought the Soviet Union was a repressive authoritarian state where state policy determines everyone’s lives

If states are too small to exist independent of help from larger countries those states should not exist

So imperialism did the right thing

You are so f***ing dense bro. My point is that Russian people are anti semitic in general, especially back then.

And you think the Soviet leadership (which wasn’t antisemitic until Khrushchev, with sources) wasn’t aware of this attempted to reverse all notions of antisemitism?

I think when the Red were raping and pillaging Berlin it had nothing to do with avenging the death camps

The Nazis had their own genocidal policy against slavic peoples

It was quite literally a race war that didn’t only involve Jewish people.

@plankton go read the Wikipedia article for “lebensraum” if you’re so inclined to be educated in your own manner

You’re doing the absolute most to avoid conceding a point that no reasonable person could refute

Go read the wikipedia article for “The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion” if you think the Russians weren’t antisemitic af

What is the point being made here

Irrelevant to the point. You can’t even stay on topic, i’m starting to question your intelligence

this is your brain on debates right here

No

The small states that needed larger states don’t exist though

Palestine… African kingdoms … Native Americans…

The point is that the Russians did what they did to the Germans because they are brutal invaders, not as revenge for the Holocaust. Europe has good reason to be afraid of Russian invasion.

Are you sure the SOVIETS (the red army wasn’t Russian) didn’t do that out of anger because the Nazi Germans literally had a policy point about using them as slaves for people who wanted to colonize Eastern Europe

Shouldn't have happened. My point on this is pragmatic and based on the broader hypothesis that each state should act as an independent, and this is made impossible when they are not self sufficient. This forces them to accept money from larger countries and in exchange become extensions of those larger countries.

of all the hypotheses this is surely one of them ones my brother

My original comment was in reference to the Russians in particular. I have no idea if Kazakhs are anti semitic or not.

Maybe revenge for the slaughter of their fellow slavs, certainly not revenge for the Jews

You have nooooo clue what you’re talking about

Modern day russia is extremely antisemitic

Soviet Union was also pretty antisemitic but nowhere near the guys they beat

It doesn't matter if you've never been invaded by Russia. Rational countries don't want a fascist power run by a cognitive declining lunatic getting closer to them and their allies. As such they're taking steps to slow it down

You're a moron. If you think Soviet troops gave a f*** about the Holocaust you are delusional
