He is acting logically,becouse he really saw commies as bigger danger.And rightly so.
Problem is - you made him acting logically,but in the same time made USA,germans and Polish goverment idiots.
USA,becouse their military made zerg rush against germans,and their politicians ,while most of them was soviet useful idiots,behave now as mindless automatons with "kill germans" order.Which would be possible only if Stalin ordered them so.
germans,becouse they knew that Stalin or other soviet leader would start WW3 with nuking germany ,but still made peace with them,althought there were 3 ways to easily destroy them.Known to germans.
Only explanation is that Merkel is STASI and do that to help soviets take over Europe.
Poles,becouse most of our politicians still try to made deal with spviets after they take away half of our country,and nationalists do not joined becouse they knew,that soviets would break any agreement.
And now they refused to talk even when Merkel finally agreed to pay for german crimes,which she is refusing now.
Becouse USA told sur current leaders could do so,but politicians from 1944 had working brains.Until author of this story removed them.
Interesting,why so many politicians was made idiots here.To made old prussian dream about alliance with Russia true? sorry,Russia was murdered by soviets.You could not have deal with corpse.And soviets would break any agreement made with germans and backstab them,becouse they are,well,soviets.
Well, I already had answered it before, but I do now again.
I want to let the politicians act as realistic as possible. I know, realism and ISOTs are oxymorons, but I try.
As for Merkel and the other German politicians: They are very aware, that they deal with Stalin. And nothing would make them happy, to go to Moscow or even Wladiwostok and shoot him a 9 mm bullet in his brain. Or a 800 mm if needed. However, they can't afford doing so. If the WAllies had made peace, there would be no need to accept Stalin's offer. And if she had taken Baku, she would think at least twice. The problem is, the Germans fight a two fronts war they really can't afford. They need resources, especially oil. To have a chance, they need a save source of resources to win a war against the other side. Here Stalin made the move at first. Why? He was a very cautious man. Until Bagration there had been secret negotiations with Hitler. But they led, obviously, nowhere. Here the persons are others. And Stalin sees, that he is playing with high cards. Can he win by sending every man he had? Yes, IF the German resources are depleted before. But here chances are great, the Germans capture Baku and if he had sent everyone then, well, then it's game over. He finally is changing his strategy. He can't loot Germany, but he still can much for free. And with giving the WAllies the guilt, he can even save his face.
Is he a danger for the future? Damn right. Can this haunt the Germans one day? Yes, it can. Germany shall not do everything right now. They shall make errors. And not all errors are without an excuse or are forced to do so.
The other candidate was Churchill, but he was too reluctant to act, as he feared FDR. Now, with the Soviets making peace, he tries to save, what he can. He's currently biting into his ass for not acting earlier (German proverb for being angry at yourself, it fits better this way than saying he kicks himself).
FDR is the next one. The US had never lost a war. They were winning. He had said this. Everytime. That's a point, when politicians are forced or better feel forced to continue, as their electors would make a problem, if they wouldn't continue. That and his personal feelings against Germany. For him it was a shock, or more than that. He was about to control the British and was winning against Germany and Japan. But Germany, as I already said before, is no longer the boxer in the ropes, but an enraged gorilla. And then he sees a possibility to win. And he is using it, over the point, where anyone else had stopped. He can't be the first president to lose a war. And he can't allow Germany to become the Über-super-power. That and his sickness will lead him to the point, where he can only go on. And he still has a chance. Well, there are two, but one is very realistic!
As for the Poles, well, they are in a very similar situation. We have very nationalistic politicians, who overestimate their position. That was true before the war and is true now. Also the Nazi years were not the best years for Poland and the Poles are not very keen about the Germans. No, not really. So they, too, think they can't make peace without enraging their population as well. They would gain nothing but indeed lose territory. So they carry on.
The Polish governments in the interbellum years had the outstaning quality to PO both great neighbours. That wasn't too wise. And they are not much wiser now.
This is my reasoning.
