    So, again, USSR was justified in using a threat of military invasion as leverage for subversion of unaligned countries, occuping and annexing them for strategic reasons by dissolving them as political powers for potential future reasons?

    How is this different to just regular plain old imperialism?

      “unaligned” is a pretty generous way to describe literal Nazis collaborators, guy

      And yes. They were clearly justified. Our hindsight 20/20 only affirms those decisions made by the USSR

        What collaboration was happening during 1940? And how were they justified through actions of people almost entirely unassociated with any of the political organs?

          Its almost like the same people who did all the pogroms in 1941 were also in Lithuanian gvmt in 1940.

          It isnt hard to just *not* make apologies for literal Nazis, you know
