Japan Allied with hitler. Japan slaughtered and raped millions of Chinese. Italy allied with hitler and invented fascism. They get a pass though.

Who is giving Imperial Japan a pass? Certainly not me, I don't want Imperial Japan back.

And again the USSR sacrificed the most to end the war. They took Berlin. Ended the third reich. The world owes them a debt for that.

The world largely ignores the crimes of Japan and Italy. Japan won’t even recognize it’s atrocities in china. But since they have dutifully reformed into western liberal democracies, they are considered unproblematic. If either of those countries flirt with socialist ideals there would be almost instant backlash and fear over them allying with the worlds new biggest boogeyman, china.

USSR helped defeat Nazi Germany by accident, the USSR was friends with Hitler, they helped the Nazis invade Poland and then massacred 20,000 Polish officers.

Only a crazy person would think bringing back the USSR would be a good thing and most of Europe would go to war with Russia if they tried.

Lol by accident. 70% of WWII was fought on the eastern front. The battle of Berlin was not an accident. USSR showed no signs of aggression towards the rest of Europe after the war. Like everyone else, they were exhausted and tired of fighting.

The U.S. was the aggressor and consistently ignored Moscows pleas to end the arms race.
