The Soviets and Russians saw Siberia as their territory, and at the time that area was under the control of parts of the white movement and the western intervention/occupation was seen as an invasion.The Japanese were basically opportunist expansionists.
We will not spy on your embassy, honest!
Said every unfriendly country ever.
Stalin wanted a sphere of influence/buffer, and most of the nonsense discussed prior to the end of WWII was just bullshit, IMHO.
I think in his memoirs Churchill just said he doesn't believe that any of the agreements for a post-War world would stick and the USA helped remilitarize Germany and Japan in short order.
That was North Vietnam, not the USSR.The soviets had a hell of a lot less control over there than you would think, and like with the case of Siberia the North Vietnamese saw it as national liberation and unification and kicking out the West's colonial puppets.
The North Vietnamese were driven primarily by nationalism and anti-western sentiment and Marxism and other such crap came a distant 4th, or 5th, right after their long-standing animosity with China and the desire to kick out the people who had:
Stolen their land.
Put in a nasty secret police.
Treated them as 2nd class citizens.
Tried to force a foreign religion onto them.
Made them uproot and move.
Bombed them.
Poisoned their land with Agent orange and burned much of their forests with napalm.
Killed their own puppet president in the South and replaced him with a military junta.
I will sort of give you 1 in 4, thanks to as you call him "Sralin".
I assume that means Shitter in Polish as it does in Bulgarian?
1.soviets do not cared about russian territories,they wanted entire world.Look at their crest.
2.But preparing revolution in other country is something else.Which soviet did.
3.Sralin wanted entire world,not sphere of influence.Only reason why he murdered "only" 200.000 of poles after 1945 compare to 5-10 miions of soviets killed by NKWD in that period,was becouse we would made uprising if he try so - and he prepared WW3 to take over Europe.
4.South Vietnam was paradise compared to North,so commies enslaved people there.People becomes catholics from 17th century on their free wil,and many times died for God there.And commies bring another,worst foreign religion - communism.
And soviets owned them,they would not start anything without their order.
Poland case - we made peace in 1921,soviets promised peace and not sending agents.We exiled russians and ukrainian anticommies,soviets paid their commies to attack Poland till 1939.
In 1939 started war against us with their german allies.
They genocided at least 500.000 poles til 1945.And enslaved us after that.
Our Home Army was ordered to help them as allies,so they did so.After each schared victory soviets send them to gulags or massgraves.
P.S yes,Sralin mean shitter.
Funny, I would have said the same about a so-called libertarian/American right-winger defending Ukrainian national socialists.
It is called 'reality', sorry I'd your preferred narrative about international relations and stuff like the Vietnam war do not fit with it.
You do not undarstandt what reality means.South Vietnam was corrupted place,but compared to Noth they were stil paradise.Reality mean that we take lesser evil,not not -existing right.
Just like on Ukraine now.We could choose either strong KGB mafia which belive that ukrainians and belarussians do not exist,and poles should not exist,or weak ukrainian nationalist which barely could defend themselves.
Of course,that we support Ukraine.They could not genocide us when they win,but kgbstan woud do so.
