If you were a German in 1938 and two Wermacht soldiers were accused of spying for the USSR, you would be saying the exact same thing as you are now. I say this not as a dunk, but as a solemn acknowledgement that we are all products of our social environment. I don't think you're stupid, or a "bad person" (whatever that means) but I do think you should stop and consider the path that uncritically accepting your government's narratives about their rivals can lead you down.

You're probably giving them too much credit. The spies would have to be US or UK, or puppets of those regimes, for them to say what we're saying. I suspect they don't favor the USSR over the Nazis.

Doesn't matter, if they were a German in 1938, they would have also hoped the Nazis locked up these communist spies in the same way as they would hope the Nazis would lock up a spy for the US.

(Although I can't help but feel like anyone who would spy for the US supported the Nazis...)

I agree. I'm just saying I don't think the person would sympathize.

You must have never checked then, the US has never not had minorities in concentration camps.

Currently, I believe we called them “ICE detention facilities” and “prisons”

Congratulations, you managed to almost fit every deranged liberal take into one post. You forgot to try to squeeze something about social credit in there.

Way to gloss over genocide you coffee house cunt you wonder why no one likes you fucking idiots and you're relegated to dark corners of the internet where you can circlejerk. It's fucking pathetic. And that's not even the only genocide committed by tankie losers where millions starved to death lol
