    @PugJesus but don’t forget that during the Spanish Civil War the allies didn’t help the Republic. When nazis and Italian fascists helped Franco, the allies prevented the Soviet Union of helping the Republic.

      This is true - a shame and a stain on our history.

      the allies prevented the Soviet Union of helping the Republic.

      Utterly untrue - both in the fact that the Soviet Union did ‘help’ the Republic without interference from Western democracies, and that the Soviet Union’s ‘help’ involved robbing and sabotaging the Republic.
