I get you’re a pathetically retarded jeet, but your stupid ass seriously can’t comprehend the difference between invading Eastern Europe and invading Germany? Where’s the Russians operation Barbarossa you stupid jeet poolicker?
Yeah, I never denied that. The issue is that Stalin seemed genuinely to believe that he had secured a lasting peace with Germany, due to his shock at the invasion, his complete lack of response to it early on, his authorization for military parades with the Wermacht during the alliance period, and given the massive economic support that Germany had been giving the USSR.
Yes. He thought he could peacefully prepare to attack Germany and the rest of Europe and didn't expect Hitler to pre-emptively attack him. That's why he didn't build any defenses at the border but did build a ton of shit that would've been very useful for an offensive. That's why Barbarossa was so successful in the first place.
I don't think so. I've seen nothing from Soviet history that suggests that Stalin intended a war with Germany. Expansion into Eastern Europe, yes. Remember, Stalin and Lenin were basically on the same page regarding expansion (Trotsky was not, and was why he was dead), and the answer was not to expand until the Soviet Union was running properly. They were still having food problems (like always) and Stalin was moving industry west and purging his own military as Germany invaded Poland. If the Soviets intended to invade Central Europe, Stalin would probably have been dead by the time that day came. Hitler chose a war with Poland, he chose a war with the Soviets, he chose a war with France, and he chose a war with Britain.
Yeah, he showed that quite clearly by occupying the entirety of Eastern Europe after the war. I guess that's also why the Cold War started.

You already made it quite clear that you don't know the definition of pre-emptive. No need to repeat yourself.
Pre-emptive implies there were plans to invade Germany, where are they jeet faggot? I’m still waiting
