    I know it’s not an alliance but they’re probably referring to the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, which is a fair point.

    Side note: Russia is the equivalent of Nazi Germany of Europe in 2025. Another reason not to invite them.

      Check my other comment. The Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, while it can be criticised, doesn’t mean shit in the grand context. All the other western european nations rushed to the negotiating table to break bread with the Nazis way sooner than the Soviets ever did.

      Besides that, if Germany even gave a realistic shit about Nazis nowadays they wouldn’t be supporting a genocide in Palestine, nor would they allow their beloved politicians to spew constant Nazi rhetoric in public, nor would they allow all the Nazis to join the police force, or the military, or authoritative institutions, nor would they allow all the German millionaires and billionaires that inherited Nazi money to further exist. You know, the ones whose beloved grandparents owned factories where they worked jewish slaves to death? Those ones. But sure, do tell me how Germany all of the sudden gives a shit about one single fascist country while continuing to support all the other fascists on the planet.
