The USA had their share of nazi-related business (IBM, e.g.), but no amount of whataboutism will save you from the simple fact that soviets entered the war as active allies of nazi germany.

You wrote above that Soviet Union was helping the nazis before 22 june 1945. I just told you that those who really helped to build the nazi war machine, were you (the american and other capitalists), and not the Soviet Union. Also the motives were quite clear, to "fight the judeo bolshevism".

I am not denying the existence of Molotov Ribbentrop pact, only the emphasis western propaganda puts on it (for obvious reasons) is misleading, and deliberately does not take into account parts of the historical context.

Oh, this is not a point of blaming and finger pointing, looking for excuses why the communists are not to blame(are they ever?). It is to illustrate the very simple fact that the soviet union was an imperialist, expansive and warmongering state and one of the direct initiators of WWII - contrary to the usual soviet-russian victim narrative. Not that we would not know it in the retrospective looking at the soviet occupation of half of europe.
