NATO should have called the Soviets' bluff...said that they would like to admit the USSR, but that they needed to see the books...ALL the book...and needed to know everything about the USSR. Let the USSR be faced with the choice to go forward with NATO membership, but be required to open up the entire USSR for inspections....put the ball right back in their court.💯

The USSR and Germany have never been allies. On August 23, 1939, a non-aggression pact was signed between them. Plus a few trade deals. Yes, in the secret protocol of the pact there was a division of eastern Europe into spheres of influence. And? It just means: We don't stand in your way, you don't stand in ours. A REAL alliance presupposes broad cooperation, both economic and military. This did not happen between the USSR and Germany and could not be purely ideologically. They were not and could not be on the same side in the war. The non-Aggression pact was a forced measure. The negotiations that took place in Moscow between the USSR, France and Great Britain on joint actions against Hitler did not lead to anything. Great Britain and France delayed them and sent delegations unable to sign anything. In addition, the Munich agreement of 1938 proved the unreliability of agreements with them.
