Fair enough. I thought you were speaking from the patently paranoid American perspective regarding the former Soviet Union. They were most certainly not a bunch of saints (an interesting choice of words for an atheist, eh) themselves. They were a murderous and treacherous bunch, but, their mistrust of their "allies" was well founded.

The Russians were responsible for approximately 70% of Germany's casualty.

Reckon there's any way the CIA could stir up a little pissing contest between Russia and China?

This provided the Russians with breathing space and time. The Germans were essentially hard core anti communists and Molotov more than anyone else knew that they were come coming to get Russia.

Moreover Britain and France had previously failed to join the Russians in an anti-Nazi alliance.

That is very difficult. The Chinese are wary of USA moves and seriously needs Russia's immense raw material and energy supplies.
