Given that this community has generally positive view of Stalin, I’m curious what he did that my comrades find irredeemable or out of line. Since it’s easy to criticize the Soviet Union from a western perspective, bonus points if you explain how this was detrimental to the development of socialism and/or communism.
Well, seeing what the U.S did to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, that fear wasn’t exactly unfounded.
That and the war hawks were itching badly to nuke China so why not the USSR too?
