To be fair they did offer to work with the British and were rejected. Both Britain and France were more than willing to allow Nazi Germany to steamroll the soviets to cause the downfall of socialism. The Soviets in turn decided to allow the Nazis to invade the imperialists.
It was an awful Gambit but it did pay off, both the British and French empires were crippled and the soviets didn’t need to shoot a single bullet at them.
Can we stop rolling this utter bullshit around? No one was willing to fight another prolonged conflict with Germany after the massacre that WW1 turned to be. They tried to appease Germany in the hope that diplomatic efforts would prevent further bloodshed. Stalin was in bed with Hitler. Hitler offered Stalin everything he wanted: the ability to exert his imperial ambitions in Central and Eastern Europe unhinged, all while pounding from the West in order to keep us busy. France also offered security guarantees to Romania agains the Soviets but didn’t honour them. Which imperialists were the soviets fight with in the 1930s?
