For the Soviet Union nothing was a borderline. Any move on its chessboard was justified with ideology but it was always the same point of view: the consolidation of its power no matter the prejudices for the others. For those reasons in 1941 the Soviet Union and the Empire of Japan signed the Soviet-Japanese Neutrality Pact. It was another bonding with another barbarity. In this period nothing was impossible. That’s why the Ante Cold War is so important for the future and not only for the understanding of the Cold War. For both barbarities it was a way to avoid fighting on multiple fronts. And we can see that there weren’t any limits. The Soviet Union was well beyond the spirit of Machiavelli. It wasn’t just moves of realpolitik but steps in the world of propaganda. Because all this was done in secret. Many people who believed in that ideology weren’t aware of this level of propaganda. Everything was fake from the beginning. That’s what we see with the Ante Cold War. The roots of the Cold War were there even as secrets. But in any case, the Cold War wasn’t the starting point of this new kind of geopolitics. That’s why the Soviet Union was ready to partition the world in Yalta.

What is the point, no borderline. Everything is permitted, we are on the big chess board which means, the world and everything is done to justify ideology. So even this strange Pact with the Empire of Japan, imagine this, the Empire of Japan. So, tradition and far-right wing, the both. It was a bonding with another barbarity, and you can see in reality that we have three (3) pacts 39, 40 and 41. In the WW II just before the Cold War and there is no problem. In fact there is no problem because nobody knows it. It’s done only at the very high level of the system even though the base believes the same thing. But there is no consistency in the core of the ideology because everything is possible. So we don’t care if it is against the foundation, the core of the ideology. The problem is only to survive. So they did this without any guilt, remember, and at that point, in reality, they are already prepared to make the partition. So they keep contact they see what to do. Imagine that they can predict also the fall of the empire of Japan, also the fall of the Third Reich. But for the Soviet Union it’s a good thing because it’s a preparation, it’s like a platform and you can do everything with that. The chest board has pieces at the good points like oshi in goban and they want to use it beyond the limit of WW II and in fact already n the Cold War.
