Read the following passage from Joseph Stalin's radio broadcast shortly after Germany invaded the USSR in 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."

Which argument is most clearly developed by the rhetoric used in the passage?

A. Russia should have joined forces with the Allies.
B. Germany's army is not invincible.
C. Russia signed a peace treaty with Germany.
D. Germany's leaders cannot be trusted.
