Read this excerpt from joseph stalin's radio broadcast on july 3, 1941:
non-aggression pacts are pacts of peace between two
states. it was such a pact that germany proposed to us in
1939. could the soviet government have declined such a
proposal? i think that not a single peace loving state could
decline a peace treaty with a neighboring state even
though the latter was headed by such fiends and cannibals
as hitler and ribbentrop.
what do the underlined words in this excerpt most clearly suggest?
o
a. germany's attack on russia had been planned to be brutal.
o
b. germany's attack on russia had been planned for a long time.
c. germany's attack on russia was similar to betraying all the rules
of civilization.
o
d. germany's attack on russia was similar to one tribe making war
on another
