I mean it doesn't change the fact that Soviet Union did make a deal with the Nazis and split Europe between them. Nobody is doubting that there was a reason for doing it.
I think you misunderstood. It doesn't change the fact that such a pact happened and that they did divide Europe between them in it. It's opinion on how justified such a thing where those arguments matter.
That was the preceding discussion. Someone seemed to be denying it happening at all. Someone came in with a justification for the action, I was just saying that it doesn't change the fact of it happening, just the justification over it. For further clarification, I'm against the denialism. I'm not saying it wasn't a pragmatic decision, even if morally dubious.
Not seemingly, they're saying it directly.
I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt since their tone seemed to be changing a bit during the discussion, but it turned out it was just the old "that didn't happen and even if it did" thing.
Yeah they're a propaganda bot or an absolutely absurd human being.
Communists and Nazis making a deal is understandably a bit sore part for someone supporting either. I can't imagine the whiplash people had at the time.
