The Soviet Union expanded their power over Germany via military means. WW2 was simply an inter-imperialist war.

It was an inter-imperialist war except on the eastern front, where it was a war to destroy communism. The capitalist Allies and the USSR were an alliance of convenience, which is why the West made the USSR its enemy the moment the war ended.

Edie is being sarcastic, btw.
