They were both evil devils. I wished we would not have "teamed up" with any of the two. When we "teamed up" with him, Stalin already had many millions of deaths under his belt.
And his ideology continued long after his death, being responsible for more tens of millions of deaths until the present day.
Yes. Stalin's Great Purge had already occurred when the US decided that Hitler was a greater threat to the world than Stalin. We made the right choice. After Hitler was gone, we appropriately focused our efforts taking down Stalin.
Which we never did. And his ideology flourished unabated for decades after the end of WW2, all over the world. And it is still popular to the day. Tens more millions died "thanks" to communism in the decades following the war. And we did nothing. By leaving our "ally" Stalin alone in the years following the war, he was able to take over half of Europe and develope an atomic bomb in the process (in 1949). After '49 it was already too late to have any leverage on him, thus the 4 decades of Cold War.
Hitler's evil ideology pretty much never left the borders of Germany and survived only in small groups in the decades after. Stalins evil ideology is still the choice ideology in many countries around the world, almost 70 years after his death.
Hitler's ideology weakened dramatically because we mortally wounded it in WW2. What would the world have looked like if US/Germany/Japan won WW2?
It's in fashion to say Stalin was worse than Hitler because the communist allies (BLM, Antifa) have taken hold of current day US. The remnants of Hitler's white nationalists are pretty much a joke and only shows up on the internet. BLM is the current threat in the real world.
Hitler was worse than Stalin. Would you rather we have teamed up with Hitler against Stalin in WW2?
