I believe more and more that one of the central secret agreements of the Non-aggression Pact was the joint work on assassination of Trotsky.xc2xa0

NKVD alone did not dare or was blocked from this. Abwehr bashed him over the head, literally on Stalin’s wishes and instructions.xc2xa0

The need to kill Trotsky was equally and extremely important for both.xc2xa0

FDR abstained, because Trotsky refused to back him up in Elections.xc2xa0

Churchill also played his role, very likely.xc2xa0

Stalin, rather than Trotsky was the lesser of these two evils for all these three parties: Germany, UK, and the US.xc2xa0
