I’m just here to attest to the fact that you thanked Canada.

Kind regards, your German neighbour to the east.

And thank you all, including the Soviet Union, for fighting against Nazi Germany and liberating the rest of it.

Yes, as an American, I would like to thank the Soviet Union for doing most of the heavy lifting against the Nazis and bearing terrible costs, while we sat on the sidelines for most of the war and then took credit for winning it.

As a fellow American, go read about the Warsaw Uprising before thanking "literally' Stalin.

I think you can recognize the people of the country and their immense sacrifice without lauding their dictator (and his hand in a lot of his own citizen's pain)
