@duongngole4785 " Enough? " No. You omitted the part where Soviet radio and other communication channels encourage the uprising, while suggesting they will gladly help.

@duongngole4785 Youtube blocked my previous, more verbose answer. Possibly due to me linking some sources? Quite likely. So you won't get them. Maybe because this topic confused some AI? Quite likely both. Anyway, the Museum of the Warsaw Uprising reports multiple times on various ways in which Soviets agitated for the uprising. Since at least May 1944. In very unambiguous ways. Which I won't quote, due to the reasons stated above. Stalin was obviously behind it. It benefited him. There are quotes from him being glad all the mayhem happened. Bór-Komorowski is obviously guilty of giving the order, but it was not his sole decision. The representative of the Polish Government in Exile was in close contact with him, there were talks with the Soviets ongoing, so he had reasons to believe the uprising will be a success, even if a costly one. Scapegoating him makes no sense. If he knew Soviets will do what they did, his decision would be very different. We know that, because he wrote about it earlier. He considered Soviet help and frequent airdrops to be absolutely necessary for the uprising to have any chances at all. As we know, those conditions were not met. No sources, no links, no quotes. Blame Youtube. I tried.

@yingyang1008 " How come you didn't rise up against stalin? " We did. There was armed resistance going on for as long as Stalin was alive, and it didn't stop there. Long story. Very long. The last underground resistance in my area finally decided they lay up their arms in the nineties.

@yingyang1008 " don't think Germany had any interest in western Europe " No lebensraum there... But the industry, railways and other resources made up for it fine. " The last thing they wanted was another two front war " That's why they attacked Poland, who was allied with France and Britain? Brilliant! /sarcasm " Hitler had a beef with Stalin " They were buddies. He gave him tech, territory, treaties, whatever he wanted. But then they weren't buddies anymore. Just like now. 68

@yingyang1008 You saved Western Europe from tyranny. For a while, at least. Now? Another story...
