As many of you know, 80% of the Wehrmacht were stationed on the eastern front. And where did the Soviets decide to engage them? On the eastern front. If the soviet leadership had any regard for the lives of their soldiers, they would have engaged the Wehrmacht on the western front.

Should've dug tunnels all the way from Moscow to the western front, jumped out in Paris VietCong-style, and pincered them. Nazis would never expect them to do that.

That's real strategy. Better luck next time, USSR.

preemptively invading europe so they can't do shenanigans later is always a good idea
