Your point being?
I said 2 "evil" nation, I put evil in quotation marks because it's something that easily invites political debates whether something can truly be called evil, so it should be rather obvious I consider the Soviet Union to be evil here and the alliance between Soviet Union to be one between the evil Soviets and the good (or at least lesser evil) of the western allies.
