It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

The answer to this question is "Mussolini and Tojo". Several European countries signed a "Non Aggression Pact" before the USSR, and then the USSR signed a "Non Aggression Pact" to buy time because they knew an invasion was inevitable.
The USSR also tried to form alliances with the Allies but we're rejected. Nazi Germany was very much their last choice despite being invaded by many of the Allies during the Russian Civil War
yes and I wouldn't really say nazi germany was a "choice" for an ally, or even an "ally," the soviets were, again, stalling, buying time, and pretty much knew germany was eventually going to invade them, since hitler had spent the previous 19 years screeching into microphones about "judeobolshevism" and "the slavic untermensch" and the need for "lebensraum"
