    Oh shit! Soviet Russia didn’t aid Hitler in a premeditated war of conquest against Poland? The Soviets and Nazis “didn’t” make agreements on how to divvy up Europe between them?

    Yeah, Stalin waited two weeks to invade Poland, he’s a SAINT!

      No they literally did not. The molotov-ribbentrop pact is declassified you can go and read it. It said nothing about a joint invasion.

        Thank you for the explanation, here I was thinking Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia coincidentally co-invaded Poland by happenstance.

          Invasions take months of planning. The Nazis were planning on invading not the soviets. The molotov-ribbentrop pact was signed 2 weeks before the Nazis invaded and signed 1 week before by the supreme Soviet.

          Of course I’m sure you would’ve rather all of Poland go to the Nazis when they capitulated.

            So the Soviets didn’t sign a treaty with Hitler to split Poland between them?

            Here I was thinking signing an alliance with Adolf Hitler to invade a country together was something vile enough anyone could easilly condemn, thanks for correcting me!

              No. The molotov-ribbentrop pact isn’t a secret. It is available. You can literally go and read it.
