The truth is that Stalin was always jealous that Hitler got so much respect from his people with such a little moustache. Stalin worked hard at combing his every morning and just couldn't understand the new trend of the mini.
N9 he wasenz....Hitler was mereöy the usefull idiot without wich udssr would ve impossible.
The jelous once always attacks first
H7tler is about tp unleash a war without even truly knowing what the hell he is doing j.Stalin
🤣 👍
😂
Stalin had a small penis and a large mustache while hitler, a small mustache and rather large penis. The size of a man’s penis is subconsciously known to all men and women even without seeing the member of said person. The larger the sizer, the more respect. This is why men with smaller members are immediately looked down upon when entering a room if they have no outside symbols of statues that garner respect. These studies have been made time and time again. Tested and proven.
Damn Barskys german is good. Just the way he pronounced that name tells.
Edit: I just realized he is originally german lol
Very astute. Wish to join КГБ?? I hear they are hiring!
As a german thought he was american.
Ist er auch seit 20 Jahren oder so. Aber geb dir mal wie er den Namen da am Anfang gesagt hat. xD Die Aussprache immer noch 10/10
The Hitler-Stalin alliance was also transactional. They shared research on tanks, and the Nazis agreed not to challenge Soviet annexations in the Baltic states and Romania. They also agreed to split Poland, and the UK and France were curiously silent about the Soviets taking Eastern Poland (since this was their stated justification for declaring war on Germany). Stalin used the additional peace time with Germany to expand a buffer of Western states. Both sides knew it was a matter of time before they inevitably clashed.
😂😂😂 is this what they teach in US schools? I laughed so much 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣
@@armands3863 No, in US schools they minimize the history of the Soviets altogether, since it's difficult to explain why we allied with them. Why don't you make a statement containing information instead of emojis?
@@iyziejane oh oh the emoji trolls are coming, you better run.
The historian Stephen Kotkin actually goes into great detail as to why this was not the case. In fact, upon Germany's invasion on the Eastern Front, Stalin ordered his soldiers to stand down as he was awaiting German communications on the concessions that Stalin should make in order for peace to resume. It was by no means an inevitable clash from Russia's POV.
@@TallDrinkForAMan Thanks that's an interesting detail about the confusion at the start of the Eastern invasion. When I say Stalin must have known it was inevitable, I just mean that the fascist movements in Italy and Germany had opposition to communism as a core principle (cf. the wiki article on anti-communism), and Hitler spoke often against communism in his domestic speeches. But it sounds like Stalin hoped to buy more time right up until that was no longer an option.
Sorge has a street named after him in Moscow. Incidentally there's a big BMW dealership located on it.
One of these days Lex and Joe Rogan will be vying for #1 podcast in the world. Keep up the phenomenal work.
damn Daniel Craig looking old af
Stalin underestimated hilters stupidity
Stalin left Sorge executed because Sorge reported on the German intentions. Stalin should have taken those reports seriously, but decided to ignore them. Sorge could have been an inconvenient witness, thus Stalin got rid of him this way.
It's simple, Hitler invaded Yugoslavia and Greece, it was almost July and Stalin was fooled by that.
Stalin thought that it's already too late to invade USSR, winter is in 4-5 months.
Stalin knew that he needs another year to prepare the army and was buying time.
I’d believe that but the man didn’t even have defenses set up on his boarders is how much he “distrusted hitler”
He was so in shock when hitler attacked he didn’t talk for days
@@anthonymelendez333 didn’t Stalin backstab Hitler by making deal with the allies and that why Hitler invaded? Or am I wrong?
@@Richard-G lmao 😂😂😂 i uh think you’re making the mistake of not mentioning the fact that “HITLER ALREADY BACKSTABBED STALIN BY INVADING HIM!” 😂😂😂 good try tho to spin that as “nuh uh stalin didn’t like hitler”
Uhhh didn’t Stalin hate hitler so much he adopted the same idea that Jews were responsible for trying to kill him by *checks notes
Being the predominant ethnicity in doctors
Could be wrong about the genocide he committed there tho
Was just a small thing called the doctors plot that resulted in ANOTHER purge of specific people (Jews)
But yea bro stalin totally hated nazis before he realized hitler was playing him
@@anthonymelendez333 you sound unhinged
@@imperiumoccidentis7351 possibly because so many people just blurt things out and now it’s taken as “fact”
When it takes seconds to pick up a book and read about history
Because some bozo socialist is gonna keep repeating “nah uh stalin hated hitler “
The question should be : Why did Hitler stop to trust Stalin and consequently invaded Russia to remove Stalin !!
Stalin was worse than hitler
& Mao was worse than Stalin.
But they only teach about Hitler..
Go back to the CNN
@@altergreenhorn I thought CNN was the one that white washed communist dictators?
Lol. You are splitting hairs
Facts
Power corrupted these psychopath's! Sometimes wish a robot would take over who isn't crazy and respects the planet . Sounds mad
Who is going to program that robot though? because that is what we would get.
Stalin was not a psychopath. You're a dupe, tho.
@@fun_ghoul a duplication??
@@pyro7358 Consult a dictionary, putz. Ouf.
Why did Stalin trust Hitler? Few years ago when some former Soviet archives have been declassified, a letter has been found in them. A letter directly from Hitler to Stalin, written in 1941 if I remember correctly (or in 1940). It is not known how Hitler could get that letter to Stalin straight. But in the letter Hitler told to Stalin that he may not be able to fully control his generals and if one would try to provoke war between them, do not jump into conflict and contact him to sort out the matter (if he had not contacted Stalin already). So Hitler manipulated Stalin to make Stalin to believe that the German generals could be over-confident, but Hitler thought that Germany was not prepared (yet) against the Soviet Union. This is the only logical explanation that I can find, otherwise it is so incredible that Stalin did not trust so much his own organisations. The Wehrmact build up before the attack close to the Soviet border was so big, I think it was impossible to cover it. I guess initially Stalin thought that the first reports were such provocations but when the reports started to flood in he realised that he has been badly fooled.
This letter has been presented in a TH-cam video, but unfortunately I cannot remember which channel I have seen it on (but I am sure it was one of the reliable, professional history channels I watch).
So much misinfo in this clip. Get Kotkin back on the show to clear this up.
of course you wear a moon speedmaster
Because 7, 8, 9
He didn't, and you're a putz. Glad to help.
He didn't. his friendly action towards Hitler was exactly the same in nature as Hitlers to him.
Ukronazi?
Stalin 35 millions death, hitler 6 millions .
What point are you trying to make?
More like 17 million if you count soviet civilians and POWs, poles etc. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_victims
@@kevinconroy6606 I appreciate that. Within the context of why Stalin trusted Hitler I fail to recognise the connection.
Hitler killed a lot more than that. The Jews were just one of, and not the largest, of the targeted ethnic groups.
There where 12 million deaths at the concentration camps......
6 million where of a certain religion and background
He was hitlers biggest fan, gg
Yeah...that must be why Hitler evacuated the contents of his cranial cavity against a Berlin bunker wall as SU troops approached.
Both Ashkenazi Jews aka khazars
